A spaceprobe in outer space is flying with a constant speed of 1.530 km/s. The probe has a payload of 1363.0 kg and it carries 3

486.0 kg of rocket fuel. The rocket engines of the probe are capable of expelling propellant at a speed of 3.795 km/s. Then the rocket engines are fired up. How fast will the spaceprobe travel when all the rocket fuel is used up

Answer:

6.33 km/s

Explanation:

Given that :

A spaceprobe in outer space is flying with a constant speed v_i =  1.530 km/s.

The probe has a payload =  1363.0 kg

which carries 3486.0 kg of rocket fuel.

Exhaust speed = 3.795 km/s

How fast will the spaceprobe travel when all the rocket fuel is used up?

As we know that the rate of change of spaceprobe momentum is equal to the thrust of the rocket.

Then;

m \frac{dv}{dt} = -v_{ex} \frac{dm}{dt}

where;

v_{et  = exhaust speed

dv = -v_{ex}\frac{dm}{m}

Taking the integral of the above expression; we have:

v_f -v_i = - v_{ex}In m|^{m_f}_{m_o}

v_f -v_i = - v_{ex}In \frac{m_o}{m_f}

v_f  = v_i +  v_{ex}In \frac{m_o}{m_f}

v_f  =1.530 +  3.795 In (\frac{1363+3486}{1363} )

= 6.33 km/s

Temperature change time base problem. Suppose V = 24 V, I = 0.1 A, for water: mw = 51 gm, cw = 4.18 J/gm ∘K-1, for resistor: mr
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

t = 444.125 sec

Explanation:

Given data:

V = 24 volt

I  = 0.1 ampere

mass of water mw = 51 gm

cr = 4.18 J/gm degree K^-1

mass of resistor = 8 gm

cr = 3.7 J/gm degree K^-1

we know that power is given as

Power P = VI

But P =E/t

so equating both side we have

\frac{E}{t} = VI

solving for t

t = \frac{E}{VI}

t = \frac{m_w C_w \Delta T}{VI}

t = \frac{51 \times 4.18 \times (5 -0)}{24\times 0.1}

t = 444.125 sec

In still​ water, a boat averages 18 18 miles per hour. it takes the same amount of time to travel 16 miles 16 miles ​downstream,
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
   Let's create a few equations:
 Traveling with the current:
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   Traveling against the current:
 (18 - c)*t = 8

   Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16

   Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   (18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
 Divide both sides by t
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0

   Now solve for c
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 18 - 3c = 0
 18 = 3c
  6 = c

   So the current is 6 mph.
   Let's verify that.
 (18 + 6)*t = 16
 24*t = 16
 t = 16/24 = 2/3

   (18 - 6)*t = 8
 12*t = 8
 t = 8/12 = 2/3

   And it's verified.</span>
