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 stone is catapulted at time t = 0, with an initial velocity of magnitude 19.9 m/s and at an angle of 39.9° above the horizonta

larisa [96]

Answer:

Part a)

$x = 15.76 m$

Part b)

$y = 7.94 m$

Part c)

$x = 26.16 m$

Part d)

$y = 7.49 m$

Part e)

$x = 83.23 m$

Part f)

$y = -75.6 m$

Explanation:

As we know that catapult is projected with speed 19.9 m/s

so here we have

$v_x = 19.9 cos39.9$

$v_x = 15.3 m/s$

similarly we have

$v_y = 19.9 sin39.9$

$v_y = 12.76 m/s$

Part a)

Horizontal displacement in 1.03 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(1.03)$

$x = 15.76 m$

Part b)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(1.03) - 4.9(1.03)^2$

$y = 7.94 m$

Part c)

Horizontal displacement in 1.71 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(1.71)$

$x = 26.16 m$

Part d)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(1.71) - 4.9(1.71)^2$

$y = 7.49 m$

Part e)

Horizontal displacement in 5.44 s

$x = v_x t$

$x = (15.3)(5.44)$

$x = 83.23 m$

Part f)

Vertical direction we have

$y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2$

$y = (12.76)(5.44) - 4.9(5.44)^2$

$y = -75.6 m$

What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.5 T?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the proton, u = 6.5 m/s

magnetic field strength, B = 1.5 T

The force of the proton is given by;

F = ma = qvB(sin90°)

ma = qvB

where;

m is mass of the proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

charge of the proton, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The acceleration of the proton is given by;

$a = \frac{qvB}{m}\\\\a = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(6.5)(1.5)}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a = 9.353*10^8 \ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

Tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second. If the wavelength of each wave is 45 cm, what is the spee

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.

We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.

So, f = 17.5 Hz

Wavelength of each wave, $\lambda=45\ cm=0.45\ m$

Speed of the wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$

$v=17.5\times 0.45$

v = 7.87 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
