Answer:
Explanation:
a) Power consumption is 4100 J/min / 60 s/min = 68.3 W(atts)
work done raised the potential energy
b) 75(9.8)(1000) / (3(3600)) = 68.055555... 68.1 W
c) efficiency is 68.1 / 68.3 = 0.99593... or nearly 100%
Not a very likely scenario.
Answer:
102000 kg
Explanation:
Given:
A total Δν = 15 km/s
first stage mass = 1000 tonnes
specific impulse of liquid rocket = 300 s
Mass flow rate of liquid fuel = 1500 kg/s
specific impulse of solid fuel = 250 s
Mass flow of solid fuel = 200 kg/s
First stage burn time = 1 minute = 1 × 60 seconds = 60 seconds
Now,
Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time
or
Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = 1500 × 60 = 90000 kg
Also,
Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time
or
Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = 200 × 60 = 12000 kg
Therefore,
The total jettisoned mass flow of the fuel in first stage
= 90000 kg + 12000 kg
= 102000 kg
The object will not be able to accelerate perpendicular to direction of motion
Answer:
a. 12 m/s² down
Explanation:
Acceleration has units of length per time squared. Acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction.
