A large rocket has a mass of 2.00×10⁶ kg at takeoff, and its engines produce a thrust of 3.50×10⁷ N. Find its initial accelerati

on if it takes off vertically. How long does it take to reach a velocity of 120 km/h straight up, assuming constant mass and thrust? In reality, the mass of a rocket decreases significantly as its fuel is consumed. Describe qualitatively how this affects the acceleration and time for this motion.

Answer:

17.5 m/s²

1.90476 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.5\times 10^7}{2\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow a=17.5\ m/s^2

Initial acceleration of the rocket is 17.5 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow \frac{120}{3.6}=0+17.5t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{\frac{120}{3.6}}{17.5}=1.90476\ s

Time taken by the rocket to reach 120 km/h is 1.90476 seconds

Change in the velocity of a rocket is given by the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation

\Delta v=v_{e}\ln \frac{m_0}{m_f}

where,

m_0 = Initial mass of rocket with fuel

m_f = Final mass of rocket without fuel

v_e = Exhaust gas velocity

Hence, the change in velocity increases as the mass decreases which changes the acceleration

krek1111 [17]
It's average speed during that 26 seconds was about 4.77 m/s. Without seeing the graph, we can't tell if it was going faster or slower at any particular time during that period. All we can tell is its average for the full interval.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.18216 T

Explanation:

N = Number of turns = 219

A = Area = \pi r^2

r = Radius = 1 cm

\omega = Angular speed = 40\times 2\pi

Maximum emf is given by

\epsilon=NBA\omega\\\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NA\omega}\\\Rightarrow B=\dfrac{3.15}{219\times \pi 0.01^2\times 40\times 2\pi}\\\Rightarrow B=0.18216\ T

The strength of the magnetic field is 0.18216 T
