A rocket for use in deep space is to have the capability of boosting a total load (payload plus the rocket frame and engine) of

3.25 metric tons to a speed of 10,000 m/s. It has an engine and fuel designed to produce an exhaust speed of 2400 m/s. How much fuel plus oxidizer is required (in metric tons)

Answer:

<em>13.54 tons</em>

Explanation:

Let f be the amount of fuel oxidizer needed

v be the speed

The relationship between them is inverse in nature i.e

f ∝ 1/v

f = k/v

If a rocket for use in deep space is to have the capability of boosting a total load (payload plus the rocket frame and engine) of 3.25 metric tons to a speed of 10,000 m/s, then f = 3.25 when v  = 10,000

Substitute and get k

k = fv

k = 3.25 * 10,000

k = 32500

To get the amount of fuel oxidizer required to produce a speed of 2400m/s, we will find f when v = 2400m/s

Recall that f = k/v

f = 32500/2400

f = 13.54 metric tons

<em>Hence the fuel plus oxidizer that will be required is 13.54 tons</em>

A 3.3 kg ball sits on the ground and is kicked with a FAPP of 36N
jeyben [28]

a) 32.3 N

The force of gravity (also called weight) on an object is given by

W = mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the ball in the problem,

m = 3.3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the ball:

W=(3.3)(9.8)=32.3 N

b) 48.3 N

The force applied

F_{app} = 36 N

The ball is kicked with this force, so we can assume that the kick is horizontal.

This means that the applied force and the weight are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, we can find the net force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

F=\sqrt{W^2+F_{app}^2}

And substituting

W = 32.3 N

Fapp = 36 N

We find

F=\sqrt{32.3^2+36^2}=48.3 N

c) 14.6 m/s^2

The ball's acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

For the ball in this problem,

m = 3.3 kg

F = 48.3 N

Solving the equation for a, we find

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{48.3}{3.3}=14.6 m/s^2

If the car went 30 km west in 25 min. and then 40 km south in 35 min., what would be its average speed?
Alika [10]
The total distance is 70km.
The total time is 60 minutes or 1 hour.
Speed=Distance÷Time
=70÷1
=70km/h

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
I have a hunch that you're not talking about overtime
OR overtune.  I think you're going for overtone .

For a fundamental frequency of 528 Hz,
1,056 Hz is the second harmonic.
