A "home-made" solid propellant rocket has an initial mass of 9 kg; 6.8 kg of this is fuel. The rocket is directed vertically upw

ard from rest, burns fuel at a constant rate of 0:225 kg=s, and ejects exhaust gas at a speed of 1980 m=s relative to the rocket. Assume that the pressure at the exit is atmospheric and that air resistance may be neglected. Calculate the rocket speed after 20 s and the distance traveled by the rocket in 20 s. Plot the rocket speed and the distance traveled as functions of time.

Answer:

v = 1176.23 m/s

y = 741192.997 m = 741.19 km

Explanation:

Given

M₀ = 9 Kg  (Initial mass)

me = 0.225 Kg/s   (Rate of fuel consumption)

ve = 1980 m/s    (Exhaust velocity relative to rocket, leaving at atmospheric pressure)

v = ? if t = 20 s

y = ?

We use the equation

v = ∫((ve*me)/(M₀ - me*t)) dt - ∫g dt     where t ∈ (0, t)

⇒   v = - ve*Ln ((M₀ - me*t)/M₀) - g*t

then we have

v = - 1980 m/s*Ln ((9 Kg - 0.225 Kg/s*20 s)/(9 Kg)) - (9.81 m/s²)(20 s)

v = 1176.23 m/s

then we apply the formula

y = ∫v dt = ∫(- ve*Ln ((M₀ - me*t)/M₀) - g*t) dt

⇒   y = - ve* ∫ Ln ((M₀ - me*t)/M₀) dt - g*∫t dt

⇒   y = - ve*(Ln((M₀ - me*t)/M₀)*t + (M₀/me)*(M₀  - me*t - M₀*Ln(M₀ - me*t))) - (g*t²/2)

For t = 20 s   we have

y = Ln((9 Kg - 0.225 Kg/s*20 s)/9 Kg)*(20 s) + (9 Kg/0.225 Kg/s)*(9 Kg  - 0.225 Kg/s*20 s - 9 Kg*Ln(9 Kg - 0.225 Kg/s*20 s)) - (9.81 m/s²*(20 s)²/2)

⇒   y = 741192.997 m = 741.19 km

How does the balloon react to the cloth item?
almond37 [142]

Answer: When rubbing a balloon with a wool cloth, it puts negative charges on the balloon. Negative charges attract to positive charges. If a balloon is not rubbed with the wool cloth, it has an equal amount of negative to positive charges, so it will attract to a rubbed balloon.

If we interpret the large, angular rocks to have originated from the outcrop at the top of the hill, we are using __________ rea
IrinaK [193]

The reasoning which is in use when large, angular rocks are interpreted to have originated from the outcrop at the top of the hill is; Fossil succession

<h3>Fossil succession of rocks</h3>

The principle of fossil succession in characterized by the fact that fossil entities succeed one another upward through rock layers in a definite and determinable order.

On this note, any time period can be dated by its fossil content.

A solenoid is designed to produce a magnetic field of 3.50×10^−2 T at its center. It has a radius of 1.80 cm and a length of 46.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a. 2143 turns/m

b. 111.5 m

Explanation:

a. The minimum number of turns per unit length (N/L) can be found using the following equation:

B = \frac{\mu_{0}NI}{L}

\frac{N}{L} = \frac{B}{\mu_{0}I} = \frac{3.50 \cdot 10^{-2} T}{4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} Tm/A*13.0 A} = 2143 turns/m

Hence, the minimum number of turns per unit length is 2143 turns/m.

b. The total length of wire is the following:

N = 2143 turns/m*L = 2143 turns/m*46.0 \cdot 10^{-2} m = 986 turns

Since each turn has length 2πr of wire, the total length is:

L_{T} = N*2\pi r = 986 turn*2*\pi*1.80 \cdot 10^{-2} m = 111.5 m

Therefore, the total length of wire required is 111.5 m.

I hope it helps you!
