When a rocket lifts off what provides the momentum match of the upper lift

1 answer:

5 0

The momentum of the mass expelled in the opposite direction ... the rocket-engine exhaust, or the ionized matter expelled from an ion drive.

THAT's why every propulsion engine has outlet nozzles designed with super-high-intensity math, to achieve the highest possible velocity for the mass that gets shot out the back ... so that it will carry the maximum possible momentum.

What magnification would be obtained if an eyepiece with a focal length of 0.38 m was placed on telescope?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the telescope's focal length was not provided. The formula to be used here is

Magnification = telescope's focal length/eyepiece's focal length

The eyepiece's focal length was provided in the question as 0.38 m.

NOTE: Magnification can be described as the power of an instrument (in this case telescope) to enlarge an object. It has no unit and thus the two focal lengths mentioned in the formula above must be in the same unit (preferably meters since one of them is in meters already).

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon

Answer:

I = 16.7kgm²

Explanation:

Since, Torque is given by,

\tau = F*r = I*\alpha

here, I = Moment of inertia = ??

\alpha = angular acceleration of wheel = a/r

F = tangential tension acting on the wheel = T

a = acceleration of bag of sand = 2.95 m/s^2

r = radius of wheel = d/2 = 120/2 = 60 cm = 0.60 m

from force balance on sand bag,

mg - T = m*a

T = m*(g-a)

m = mass of sand bag = 20 kg

So, I = T*r/\alpha = m*(g-a)*r/(a/r)

Using known values:

I = 20*(9.81 - 2.95)*0.60/(2.95/0.60) = 16.74

I = 16.7 kgm² = Moment of inertia of wheel experimentally

also, Moment of inertia of wheel theoretically(I') = M*r²

given, M = mass of wheel = 70 kg

I' = 70*0.60²= 25.2 kgm² = Moment of inertia of wheel theoretically

How is the density of a substance calculated?

den301095 [7]

1). Take a sample of the substance. The sample should be the largest
possible that will allow it to be be easily handled and the following steps
to be performed with it.
(The density doesn't depend on the size of the sample, and every sample
of the same substance has the same density. But using a larger sample
can improve the accuracy of the measurements you make, and therefore
improve the accuracy of the density you derive for the substance.)

2). Ask or measure the mass of the sample.

3). Ask or measure the volume of the sample.

4). Divide the mass by the volume. Their quotient is the density
of the substance.
