A spaceship is travelling at 20,000.0 m/s. After 5.0 seconds, the rocket thrusters are turned on. At the 55.0 second mark, the s

hip has a velocity of 24,000.0 m/s. What is the acceleration of the rocket?

Answer:

80 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

For the rocket in this problem,

u = 20,000 m/s

v = 24,000 m/s

t = 55.0 - 5.0 = 50.0 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{24000-20000}{50}=80 m/s^2

Using an unmanned rocket to visit the space station requires 85.2 trillion BTU of energy. The best fuel for the mission will hav
Illusion [34]
We shall convert all of the densities to lbs/gal, so the product of
BTU/lbs and lbs/gal gives us the basis of comparison, which was "ratio of energy to volume".
grams / ml x 1 lbs/454 grams → 1 lbs/ 454 ml
1 lbs/454 ml x 3785.41 ml/gal → 3785.41 lbs/454gal
Conversion of g/ml = 8.34 lbs/gal
Looking at each fuel:

Kerosene:
18,500 x (8.34 x 0.82) = 126,517 BTU/gal

Gasoline:
20,900 x (8.34 x 0.737) = 128,463 BTU/gal

Ethanol:
11,500 x (8.34 x 0.789) = 75,673 BTU/gal

Hydrogen:
61,000 x (8.34 x 0.071) = 36,120 BTU/gal

The best fuel in terms of energy to volume ratio is Gasoline.
Gallons required:
BTU needed / BTU per gallon
= 85.2 x 10⁹ / 128,463
= 6.6 x 10⁵ gallons

N 1800kg car has an<br> of 3.8m/s? What is it<br> on the car?<br> acceleration<br> force acting
nevsk [136]

Answer:

6840 N

Explanation:

The force acting on the car can be found by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on the car

m is the mass of the car

a is its acceleration

For the car in this problem,

m = 1800 kg

a=3.8 m/s^2

Substituting,

F=(1800)(3.8)=6840 N
