Answer:
F = 4000 N
Explanation:
given,
mass of rocket (M)= 5000 Kg
10 Kg gas burns at speed (m)= 4000 m/s
time = 10 s
average force = ?
at the end the rocket is at rest
by conservation of momentum
M v + m v' = 0
5000 x v - 10 x 4000 = 0
5000 v = 40000
v = 8 m/s
speed of rocket = 8 m/s
now,
we know
change in momentum = F x Δ t
F = 4000 N
Hence, the average force applied to the rocket is equal to F = 4000 N
In a solution, a SOLUTE is the substance being dissolved.
In a solution, a SOLVENT is the substance in which something is dissolved.
For example in salt water, the salt is the solute. And the water is the solvent. Usually, which substance has a larger amount in the solution can be called a solvent. It doesn't matter if it's a gas, solid, or liquid. They can all be solute or solvents.
We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.
The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:
where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.
At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:
When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:
But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have
and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
