Answer:
F = 4000 N
Explanation:
given,
mass of rocket (M)= 5000 Kg
10 Kg gas burns at speed (m)= 4000 m/s
time = 10 s
average force = ?
at the end the rocket is at rest
by conservation of momentum
M v + m v' = 0
5000 x v - 10 x 4000 = 0
5000 v = 40000
v = 8 m/s
speed of rocket = 8 m/s
now,
we know
change in momentum = F x Δ t
F = 4000 N
Hence, the average force applied to the rocket is equal to F = 4000 N
Answer:
The work done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time is
54.06 Joules.
Explanation:
Let the initial kinetic energy of the canister be
KE₁ = =
= 19.44 J in the x direction
Let the the final kinetic energy of the canister be
KE₂ = =
= 73.5 J in the y direction
Therefore from the Newton's first law of motion, the effect of the force is the change of momentum and the difference in energy between the initial and the final
= 73.5 J - 19.44 J = 54.06 J
