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

2 equal charges, 27 micro Coulomb each, are separated by 5 cm. Find force between those.
padilas [110]

Answer:

The force between charges is  F= 2.624*10^3N.

Explanation:

The Coulomb force F between the two charges q_1 and q_2 separated by distance d is given by the equation

F = k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

where k is the coulombs constant, and has the value

k= 9*10^9N\cdot C\cdot m^2.

Now in our case

q_1=q_2=27\mu C =27*10^{-6}C

and

d= 5cm =0.05m,

therefore, the Coulomb force between the charges is

F =( 9*10^9N\cdot C\cdot m^2)*\dfrac{(27*10^{-6}C)(27*10^{-6}C)}{(0.05m)^2}

\boxed{ F= 2.624*10^3N}

Saturn moves in an orbit around the Sun with radius 10 AU. How many degrees does it move on the Celestial in one year? (Hint: Ca
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

B. About 12 degrees

Explanation:

The orbital period is calculated using the following expression:

T = 2π*(\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm}})

Where r is the distance of the planet to the sun, G is the gravitational constant and m is the mass of the sun.

Now, we don't actually need to solve the values of the constants, since we now that the distance from the sun to Saturn is 10 times the distance from the sun to the earth. We now this because 1 AU is the distance from the earth to the sun.

Now, we divide the expression used to calculate the orbital period of Saturn by the expression used to calculate the orbital period of the earth. Notice that the constants will cancel and we will get the rate of orbital periods in terms of the distances to the sun:

\frac{Tsaturn}{Tearth} = \sqrt{\frac{rSaturn^3}{rEarth^3} } = \sqrt{10^3}}

Knowing that the orbital period of the earth is 1 year, the orbital period of Saturn will be \sqrt{10^3}} years, or 31.62 years.

We find the amount of degrees it moves in 1 year:

1year * \frac{360degrees}{31.62years} = 11.38 degrees

or about 12 degrees.
