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

Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

How does an atom of potassium-41 become a potassium ion with a +1 charge? 19 K 39.10
stiv31 [10]

It is very difficult for an atom to accept a proton. It can only be done under very special circumstances. So A and C are both incorrect. I don't see how D is possible. The atom does lose 1 electron, but how it gets 21 is think air.

The answer is B which is exactly what happens.

A 2.5 kg tribble is placed in a bucket and whirled in a 1.4 m radius vertical circle at a constant tangential speed. If the forc
Over [174]

Given that,

Mass of a tribble, m = 2.5 kg

Radius, r = 1.4 m

The force on the tribble from the bucket does not exceed 10 times its weight.

To find,

The maximum tangential speed.

Solution,

The force acting on the tribble is equal to the centripetal force.

F = 10mg

The formula for the centripetal force is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v is maximum tangential speed

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{mgr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{{10gr}} \\\\v=\sqrt{10\times 9.8\times 1.4} \\\\v=11.7\ m/s

So, the maximum tangential speed is 11.7 m/s.

Which explains the information needed to calculate speed and velocity?
Anestetic [448]

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.

Explanation:

Speed and velocity are two different quantities. In fact:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which gives a measure of how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction. Therefore, it only has a magnitude, which is given by the ratio between distance covered and time taken:

s=\frac{distance}{time}

Therefore, speed does not take into account the direction of motion.

- Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by

v=\frac{displacement}{time}

where displacement is a vector connecting the initial point with the final point of motion of an object.

The direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

It must be noted also that in certain situations, the average velocity is zero, while the speed is not zero: for example, for an object completing a circle in a certain time interval, its speed is not zero, while its velocity is zero (because the object returns to the starting point, so the displacement is zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.
