Antiballistic missiles (ABMs) are designed to have very large accelerations so that they may intercept fast-moving incoming miss

iles in the short time available. What is the takeoff acceleration of a 10,000-kg ABM that expels 196 kg of gas per second at an exhaust velocity of 2.50×103 m/s?

Answer:

a = 39.2 m/s²

Explanation:

The <em>takeoff acceleration </em>of a missile or a rocket can be expressed by the equation

  • a = V₀/m * Δm/Δt - g

Where V₀ is the exhaust velocity, m is the mass of the missile, Δm is the mass of gas expelled during a timelapse Δt, and g is gravitational acceleration.

All required data is given by the problem, so now we <u>solve for a</u>:

a = 2.50x10³m/s ÷ 10,000kg * 196kg ÷ 1s - 9.8m/s²

a = 39.2 m/s²

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

0.147 J

Explanation:

The total energy that has been transformed into thermal energy is equal to the loss of gravitational potential energy between the initial situation (bob at h=0.5 m above the ground) and the final situation (bob back but at h=0.45 m above the ground).

Therefore, we have

E_{thermal}=\Delta U=mgh_1 - mgh_2 = mg(h_1 -h_2)

where

m = 0.3 kg is the mass of the bob

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h1 = 0.5 m is the initial height

h2 = 0.45 m is the final height

Substituting, we find the thermal energy

E_{thermal}=(0.3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m-0.45 m)=0.147 J

Therefore, the energy transformed into thermal energy is 0.147 J.

A mass of 4.8 kg is dropped from a height of 4.84 meters above a vertical spring anchored at its lower end to the floor. If the
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

45.6 cm

Explanation:

Let x (m) be the length that the spring is compressed. We know that when we drop the mass from 4.84 m above and compress the springi, ts gravitational energy shall be converted to spring potential energy due to the law of energy conservation

E_g = E_p

mgh = 0.5kx^2

where h = 4.84 + x is the distance from the dropping point the the compressed point, and k = 24N/cm = 2400N/m is the spring constant, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration constant. And m = 4.8 kg is the object mass.

4.8*9.81(4.84 + x) = 0.5 * 2400 * x^2

47.088x + 227.906 = 1200x^2

1200x^2 - 47.088x - 227.906 = 0

x = 0.456m or 45.6 cm
