Answer:

v= 2413.5 m/s

Explanation:

maximum change of speed of rocket

=(initial exhaust velocity)×ln [(initialmass/finalmass)]

let initial mass= m

final mass = m-m(4/5) = m/5

[since the 80% of mass which is fuel is exhausted]

V-0 = 1500 ln (1/0.2)

V= 1500×1.609 = 2413.5 m/s

therefore, its exhaust speed v= 2413.5 m/s

Answer:

v_2 =2414\ m/s

Explanation:

given,

exhaust velocity of fuel(v_e) = 1500 m/s

initial speed of rocket,v₁ = 0 m/s

final speed of rocket, v₂ = ?

fuel weigh = 80 % of total weight

using  Tsiolkovsky rocket equation

\Delta v = v_e ln(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2})

Δ v = v₂ - v₁

v_e is the exhaust speed

m₁ is the  initial total mass.

m₂ is the is the final total mass without propellant.

m₂  = m₁ - 0.8 m₁

m₂  = 0.2 m₁

v_2-v_1 = 1500\times ln(\dfrac{m_1}{0.2 m_1})

v_2 = 1500\times ln(\dfrac{m_1}{0.2 m_1})

v_2 =2414\ m/s

When all the fuel is exhausted speed of the fuel is equal to v_2 =2414\ m/s

Answer:

19.99 kg m²/s

Explanation:

Angular Momentum (L) is defined as the product of the moment of Inertia (I) and angular velocity (w)

L = m r × v.

r and  v are perpendicular to each other,

where r = lsinθ.

l = 2.4 m

θ= 34°

g = 9.8 m/s²  and m = 5 kg

resolving using newtons second law in the vertical and horizontal components.

T cos θ − m g = 0

T sin θ − mw² lsin θ = 0

where T is the force with which the wire acts on the bob

w = √g / lcosθ

= √ 9.8 / 2.4 ×cos 34

= 2.2193 rad/s

the angular momentum  L = mr× v

= mw (lsin θ)²

= 5 × 2.2193 (2.4 ×sin 34°)²

=19.99 kg m²/s

A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled
sesenic [268]
Velocity =

(distance between start point and end point, regardless of the route traveled) / (time spent traveling).

That distance (called the "displacement"), is 10 meters, and almost exactly 1 hour is almost exactly 3,600 seconds. So the numerical value of the velocity during that time is

(10) / (3,600) = almost exactly 0.00278 m/s

= 2.78 x 10^-3 m/s.

A spring stretches 0.220 m when a 0.400 kg-mass is hung from it. What is its spring constant? (Mass is not a force )
Fantom [35]
We want to know the amount of force that stretches the spring 0.22 m.
That force is the WEIGHT of the mass hung from it.
The weight of the mass is (mass) times (gravity).
To do that calculation, we need to know the value of gravity, but
gravity has different values on every planet.  I shall assume that
this whole springy question is taking place on Earth, so that the
value of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .

The weight of the mass is (0.4 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 3.92 Newtons.

The spring constant is

(force/length of the stretch)

= (3.92 Newtons) / (0.22 meters)

= (3.92 / 0.22) Newtons/meter

= 17.82 N/m .
