Answer:

 v_{f} = 1,386 m / s

Explanation:

Rocket propulsion is a moment process that described by the expression

       v_{f} - v₀ =  v_{r} ln (M₀ / Mf)

Where v are the velocities, final, initial and relative and M the masses

The data they give are the relative velocity (see = 2000 m / s) and the initial mass the mass of the loaded rocket (M₀ = 5Mf)

We consider that the rocket starts from rest (v₀ = 0)

At the time of burning half of the fuel the mass ratio is that the current mass is    

       M = 2.5 Mf

       v_{f} - 0 = 2000 ln (5Mf / 2.5 Mf) = 2000 ln 2

       v_{f} = 1,386 m / s

Answer:

Given that

speed u=4*10^6 m/s

electric field E=4*10^3 N/c

distance b/w the plates d=2 cm

basing on the concept of the electrostatices

now we find the acceleration b/w the plates  to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron when it hits the plate.

acceleration a=qE/m=1.6*10^{-19}*4*10^3/9.1*10^{-31} =0.7*10^{15}=7*10^{14} m/s

now we find the horizontal distance traveled by electrons hit the plates

horizontal distance

X=u[2y/a]^{1/2}

=4*10^6[2*2*10^{-2}/7*10^{14}]^{1/2}

=3*10^{-2}= 3 cm

. How does the area of a rectangle relate to the lengths of each side?
iragen [17]
Area is 2-dimensional which means it has a length and a width area is measured in square units such as square inches, square feet or square meters. To find the area of a rectangle multiply the length by the width.

A horizontal pipe contains water at a pressure of 110 kPa flowing with a speed of 1.4 m/s. When the pipe narrows to one half its
Pavel [41]

Answer:

a

  v_2 =  5.6 \  m/s

b

   P_2 = 80600 \  Pa

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The pressure of the water in the pipe is  P_1= 110 \  kPa  =  110 *10^{3 } \  Pa

      The speed of the water  is v_1 =  1.4 \  m/s

       The original area of the pipe is  A_1 =  \pi \frac{d^2 }{4}

       The  new area of the pipe is  A_2 = \pi *  \frac{[\frac{d}{2} ]^2}{4}  =  \pi *  \frac{\frac{d^2}{4} }{4} = \pi \frac{d^2}{16}

         

Generally the continuity equation is mathematically represented as

       A_1 *  v_1 =  A_2 * v_2

Here v_2 is the new velocity  

So

        \pi * \frac{d^2}{4}   *  1.4  = \pi * \frac{d^2}{16}   * v_2

=>     \frac{d^2}{4}   *  1.4  =  \frac{d^2}{16}   * v_2

=>    d^2    *  1.4  =  \frac{d^2}{4}   * v_2

=>    1.4  = 0.25    * v_2

=>     v_2 =  5.6 \  m/s

Generally given that the height of the original pipe and the narrower pipe are the same , then we will b making use of the  Bernoulli's equation for constant height to calculate the pressure

This is mathematically represented as

       

             P_1 + \frac{1}{2}  *  \rho *  v_1 ^2  =  P_2 + \frac{1}{2}  *  \rho *  v_2 ^2

Here \rho is the density of water with value  \rho =  1000  \  kg /m^3

             P_2 =  P_1 + \frac{1}{2} *  \rho [ v_1^2 - v_2^2 ]

=>          P_2 =  110 *10^{3} + \frac{1}{2} *  1000 *  [ 1.4 ^2 - 5.6 ^2 ]

=>          P_2 = 80600 \  Pa
