Answer:

If an object pushes out an amount of water equal to its own weight, the upward force acting on it will be equal to gravity - and the object will float.

Explanation:

The buoyant force has an impact on the object in the water and equals the weight of the water displaced by the object. Every object placed in water has some buoyancy force that pushes it against the gravitational force, and this means that any object loses weight in the water.

during a lunar mission, it is necessary to increase the speed of a spacecraft by 2.2 m/s when it is moving at 400 m/s relative t

wel

The initial mass fraction of the spacecraft that must be burned and ejected to achieve an increase in speed is 0,00219 m/s

<h3>What fraction of the initial mass of the spacecraft?</h3>

Increase the speed: Vf-Vi = 2.2 m/s

Speed of aircraft: Vr = 400 m/s

Speed of ejected products: Vrel = 1000 m/s

The answer is:

$V_f - V_i = V_{rel} log_{e} (\frac{mi}{mf})\\\\2.2 = 1000 log_{e} (\frac{mi}{mf})\\\\ log_{e} (\frac{mi}{mf} ) = \frac{2.2}{1000} \\\\ log_{e} (\frac{mi}{mf} ) = 0.0022$
