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

A tall tube is evacuated and its stopcock is closed. The open end of the tube is immersed in a container of water (density 10^3
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

10.19 m

Explanation:

Water will rise to equalize the pressure inside and outside the tube.

The equation of pressure is given by

p=\rho gh

Where,

p = Pressure of air = 10⁵ N/m²

ρ = Density of water = 10³ kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height the water will rise

h=\frac{p}{gh}\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{10^5}{9.81\times 10^3}\\\Rightarrow h=10.19\ m

∴ The water will rise by 10.19 m.

During a trial run, race car A starts from rest and accelerates uniformly along a straight level track for a particular interval
kondor19780726 [428]
Answer: car B has travelled 4times as far as Car A

d=vi*t+1/2at^2

No initial velocity so equation becomes;

d=1/2at^2 and the acceleration is the same between both only time is different;

Car A d=1/2a(1)^2

Car B d=1/2a(2)^2

Car A d= 1^2=1

Car B d= 2^2=4

Car B d=4*Car A

So car B has travelled 4 times as far as car A
