A rocket burns fuel to create hot gases that explode violently out of the rocket engine. This explosion creates thrust. Thrust i

s a force that pushes the rocket upward. What force must thrust overcome in order to send a rocket up into space?

Answer:

Thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.

Explanation:

From the concept of Escape Velocity, derived from Newton's Law of Gravitation, definition of Work, Work-Energy Theorem and Principle of Energy Conservation, which is the minimum speed such that rocket can overcome gravitational forces exerted by the Earth, and according to the Tsiolkovski's Rocket Equation, which states that thrust done by the rocket is equal to the change in linear momentum of the rocket itself, we conclude that thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.

A 50.6 g ball of copper has a net charge of 1.6 µc. what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed? (each copper atom
Fynjy0 [20]
First figure out how many atoms you have with Avogadro's number.  Since there are 63.5 grams/mol and you have 50.6 grams, you have (50.6/63.5)6.022E23=4.7986E23 atoms.  Since there are 29 protons per atom, there are also 29 electrons per atom, so you should have a total of
29*4.7986E23=1.3916E25 electrons.
Since there is a positive charge you know some of these electrons are missing.  How many are missing can be found by dividing the charge you have by the charge on the electron:  1.6E-6/1.6022E-19 = 9.98627E12 electrons are missing.  
Now take the ratio of what is missing to what there should be:
9.98627E12/1.3916E25 = 7.1760873E-13

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 403 km above the earth’s sur
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

v_A=7667m/s\\\\v_B=7487m/s

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.

Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:

F_c=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.

Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:

\frac{GMm}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}\\ \\\implies v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So R_A=6774km=6.774*10^6m and R_B=7103km=7.103*10^6m (Since R_{earth}=6371km). Then, we get:

v_A=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{6.774*10^6m} }=7667m/s\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{7.103*10^6m} }=7487m/s

In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).

A circle has an initial radius of 50ft when the radius begins decreasing at a rate of 2ft/s. what is the rate of change of the a
valkas [14]
The area of the circle with radius r is
A = πr²

The rate of change of area with respect to time is
\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dr} . \frac{dr}{dt} =2 \pi r. \frac{dr}{dt}

The rate of change of the radius is given as
\frac{dr}{dt} =-2 \,  \frac{ft}{s}
Therefore
\frac{dA}{dt} =-4 \pi r \,  \frac{ft^{2}}{s}

When r = 10 ft, obtain
\frac{dA}{dt}|_{r=10 \, ft} = -40 \pi  \,  \frac{ft^{2}}{s}

Answer: - 40π ft²/s (or - 127.5 ft²/s)
