Model rocket engines are sized by thrust, thrust duration, and total impulse, among other characteristics. A size C5 model rocke

t engine has an average thrust of 5.26 N, a fuel mass of 12.7 g, and an initial mass of 25.5 g. The duration of its burn is 1.90 s. If this engine is placed in a rocket body of mass 54.5 g, and if the rocket is fired in outer space, what is the final velocity of the rocket

Answer:

v_{f} = 115.95 m / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise of a variable mass system, let's form a system formed by the masses of the rocket, the mass of the engines and the masses of the injected gases, in this case the system has a constant mass and can be solved using the conservation the amount of movement. Which can be described by the expressions

        Thrust = v_{e}  \frac{dM}{dt}

        v_{f}-v₀ = v_{e} ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f}} )

where v_{e} is the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket

let's apply these expressions to our case

the initial mass is the mass of the engines plus the mass of the fuel plus the kill of the rocket, let's work the system in SI units

       M₀ = 25.5 +12.7 + 54.5 = 92.7 g = 0.0927 kg

     

The final mass is the mass of the engines + the mass of the rocket

      M_{f} = 25.5 +54.5 = 80 g = 0.080 kg

thrust and duration of ignition are given

       thrust = 5.26 N

       t = 1.90 s

Let's start by calculating the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket, where we assume that the rate of consumption is linear

          thrust = v_{e} \frac{M_{f} - M_{o}  }{t_{f} - t_{o}  }

          v_{e} = thrust  \frac{\Delta t}{\Delta M}

          v_{e} = 5.26 \frac{1.90}{0.080 -0.0927}

          v_{e} = - 786.93 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the direction of the gases is opposite to the direction of the rocket

now we look for the final speed of the rocket, which as part of rest its initial speed is zero

            v_{f}-0 = v_{e} ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f} } )

we calculate

            v_{f} = 786.93 ln (0.0927 / 0.080)

            v_{f} = 115.95 m / s

Assume a rectangular strip of a material with an electron density of n=5.8x1020 cm-3. The strip is 8 mm wide and 0.8 mm thick an
vampirchik [111]

Answer: I = 111.69 pA

Explanation: The hall effect is all about the fact that when a semiconductor is placed perpendicularly to a magnetic field, a voltage is generated which could be measured at right angle to the current path. This voltage is known as the hall voltage.

The hall voltage of a semiconductor sensor is given below as

V = I×B/qnd

Where V = hall voltage = 1.5mV =1.5/1000=0.0015V

I = current =?,

n= concentration of charge (electron density) = 5.8×10^20cm^-3 = 5.8×10^20/(100)³ = 5.8×10^14 m^-3

q = magnitude of an electronic charge=1.609×10^-19c

B = strength of magnetic field = 5T

d = thickness of sensor = 0.8mm = 0.0008m

By slotting in the parameters, we have that

0.0015 = I × 5/5.8×10^14 × 1.609×10^-19×0.0008

0.0015 = I×5/7.446×10^-8

I = (0.0015 × 7.446×10^-8)/5

I = 111.69*10^(-12)

I = 111.69 pA

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:  

Hence the answer is E inside = KQr_{1} /R^{3}.

Explanation:  

E inside = KQr_{1} /R^{3}  

so if r1 will be the same then  

E  \begin{bmatrix}Blank Equation\end{bmatrix} proportional to 1/R3  

so if R become 2R  

E becomes 1/8 of the initial electric field.

A 5 kg ball rolling at 1.0 m/s hits a 15 kg ball at rest. The balls stick together after the collision What is the
Reika [66]

Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters

m₁  = 5kg

v₁ = 1.0m/s

m₂ = 15kg

v₂ = 0m/s

Unknown:

velocity after collision = ?

Solution:

Momentum before collision and after collision will be the same. For inelastic collision;

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂  = v(m₁ + m₂)

Insert parameters and solve for v;

   5 x 1  + 15 x 0 = v (5 + 15 )

          5  = 20v

          v = \frac{5}{20}   = 0.25m/s

What affects sounds at their source? MENTION DOPPLER EFFECT AND VIBRATIONS
wel

Answer:

Doppler effect, the apparent difference between the frequency at which sound or light waves leave a source and that at which they reach an observer, caused by relative motion of the observer and the wave source. This phenomenon is used in astronomical measurements, in Mössbauer effect studies, and in radar and modern navigation.
