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

All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except
elena55 [62]

Answer:

a. P = nRTV

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

"All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except a. P = nRTV b. PV/T = nR c. P/n = RT/v d. R = PV/nT"

Ideal gas equation is an equation that describes the nature of an ideal gas. The molecule of an ideal gas moves at a particular velocity depending on the temperature. This gases collides with one another elastically. The collision that an ideal gas experience is a perfectly elastic collision.

The ideal gas equation is expressed as shown:

PV = nRT where:

P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the temperature.

Based on the formula given for an ideal gas, it can be inferred that the equation. P = nRTV is not a statement of an ideal gas equation.

The remaining option will results to an ideal gas equation if they are cross multipled.
