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

A simple harmonic oscillator has amplitude 0.43 m and period 3.9 sec. What is the maximum acceleration?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 0.854rad/sec^2              

Explanation:

We have given amplitude of simple harmonic motion is A = 0.43 m

Time period of the oscillation is T = 3.9 sec

We have to find the maximum acceleration

For this we have to find the angular frequency

Angular frequency will be equal to \omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{3.9}=1.61rad/sec

Maximum acceleration is given by a_{max}=\omega ^2A=1.61^2\times 0.43=0.854rad/sec^2

So maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 0.854rad/sec^2

A skater of mass 40 kg is carrying a box of mass 5 kg. The skater has a speed of 5 m/s with respect to the floor and is gliding
Yuki888 [10]

For the part a) we need only the momentum of the box and we have the data to find it.

Momentum is given by,

p=mv

where clearly, p is the momentum, m the mass of the box and v is the velocity.

Substituting,

p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s

For part b) we need an analysis of the situation. We understand that the box on a surface that has no friction will continue to rotate at the same speed previously defined. The box can only stop with friction, so,

p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s

<em>It is the same that part a)</em>

How does the law of universal gravitation apply to objects near Earth’s surface?
tekilochka [14]
In other words, the Earth attracts objects near its surface to itself. This universal force also acts between the Earth and the Sun, or any other star and its satellites. Each attracts the other. Sir Isaac Newton defined this attraction mathematically. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!
