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 spinning coil of wire is what moves the cone in a speaker, producing the sound. True/False
Georgia [21]

False, the spinning coil of wire that moves the cone in a speaker does not produces sound.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The wire coil is an electromagnet that is fixed to speaker cone. A normal magnet attached to the back of the speaker cone.When audio is sent in the form of short bursts of electric current to the speaker cone through the wire.

A magnetic field is induced when electric current allowed to pass through the coil. This magnetic field is repelled by the other magnet. This repulsion cause the cone to move forward. In the absence of  electric current in the coil, the cone moves backward.

Thus sound waves are produced due to the resulting rarefaction and compression.  So it is not the spinning coil of wire but he permanent magnet that produces the sound.
