Answer:

a. 141.3 kg/s b. 5.49 m/s² c. i. 104228.9 N ii. 8.53 m/s² d. i. 97305.2 N ii. 9.84 m/s²

Explanation:

a. What must be the fuel/oxidizer consumption rate (in kg s1)?

The thrust T = Rv where R = mass consumption rate and v = velocity of rocket. Since T = 195000 N and v = 1380 m/s,

R = T/v = 195000 N/1380 m/s = 141.3 kg/s

b. If the initial weight of the rocket is 125000 N, what is its initial acceleration?

We also know that thrust T - W = ma since the rocket has to move against gravity. where M = mass of rocket = W/g = 125000 N/9.8m/s² = 12755.1 kg, W = weight of rocket = 125000 N, a = acceleration of rocket and T = thrust = 195000 N.

So, T - W = Ma

195000 N - 125000 N = (12755.1 kg)a

70000 N = ma

a = 70000 N/12755.1 kg = 5.49 m/s²

c. What are the weight and acceleration of the rocket at t 15.0 s after ignition?

We know that the loss in mass ΔM = mass consumption rate × time = Rt. Since R = 141.3 kg/s and t = 15 s,

ΔM = 141.3 kg/s × 15 = 2119.5 kg

The new mass is thus M = M - ΔM = 12755.1 kg - 2119.5 kg = 10635.6 kg

i.The weight after 15 seconds is thus W' = M'g = 10635.6 kg × 9.8m/s² = 104228.9 N

ii. Since T - W' = M'a. where M' is our new mass and a our new acceleration,

a = (T - W')/M'

= (195000 N - 104228.9 N)/10635.6 kg

= 90771.1 N/10635.6 kg

= 8.53 m/s²

d. What are the weight and acceleration of the rocket at 20.0 s after ignition?

We know that the loss in mass ΔM" = mass consumption rate × time = Rt. Since R = 141.3 kg/s and t = 20 s,

ΔM" = 141.3 kg/s × 20 = 2826 kg

The new mass is thus M" = M - ΔM" = 12755.1 kg - 2826 kg = 9929.1 kg

i. The weight after 20 seconds is thus W" = M"g = 9929.1 kg × 9.8m/s² = 97305.2 N

ii. Since T - W" = M"a. where M" is our new mass and a our new acceleration,

a = (T - W")/M"

= (195000 N - 97305.2 N)/9929.1 kg

= 97694.8 N/9929.1 kg

= 9.84 m/s²

A boulder with a weight of 780 N is resting at the edge of a cliff that rises 123 m above the ground. What is the gravitational
-Dominant- [34]
Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

What is a gravitational field and how its strength be measured
Yakvenalex [24]
A gravitational field is the field generated by a massive body, that extends into the entire space. Every object with mass m experiences a force F when immersed in a gravitational field. The intensity of the force is equal to
F= \frac{GM}{r^2}  m
where G=6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 Kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational  constant, M is the mass of the source of the field (e.g. the mass of a planet), and r is the distance between the object and the source of the field. The force is always attractive. 

A possible way to measure the intensity of a gravitational field is by measuring the acceleration a of the object immersed in this field. In fact, for Newton's second law we have:
F=ma
but since 
F= \frac{GM}{r^2} m
we can write
a =  \frac{GM}{r^2}
Therefore, by measuring the acceleration of the object, we also measure the intensity of the field.
