Answer:

The amount of gas that is to be released in the first second in other to attain an acceleration of 27.0 m/s2 is

$\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 83.92 \ Kg/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rocket is m = 6300 kg

The velocity at gas is being ejected is u = 2000 m/s

The initial acceleration desired is $a = 27.0 \ m/s$

The time taken for the gas to be ejected is t = 1 s

Generally this desired acceleration is mathematically represented as

$a = \frac{u * \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} }{M -\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}* t}$

Here $\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t }$ is the rate at which gas is being ejected with respect to time

Substituting values

$27 = \frac{2000 * \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} }{6300 -\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}* 1}$

=> $170100 -27* \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 2000 * \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}$

=> $170100 = 2027 * \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t}$

=> $\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = \frac{170100}{2027}$

=> $\frac{\Delta m}{\Delta t} = 83.92 \ Kg/s$

A 2 kg stone is tied to a 0.5 m string and swung around a circle at a constant angular velocity of 12 rad/s. the angular momentu

Illusion [34]

Starting from the angular velocity, we can calculate the tangential velocity of the stone:
$v=\omega r= (12 rad/s)(0.5 m)= 6 m/s$

Then we can calculate the angular momentum of the stone about the center of the circle, given by
$L=mvr$
where
m is the stone mass
v its tangential velocity
r is the radius of the circle, that corresponds to the length of the string.

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
$L=(2 kg)(6 m/s)(0.5 m)=6 kg m^2 s^{-1}$

Angular and Linear Quantities: A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an a

serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic equations of angular motion in relation to those of linear / tangential motion.

We will proceed to find the centripetal acceleration (From the ratio of the radius and angular velocity to the linear velocity) and the tangential acceleration to finally find the total acceleration of the body.

Our data is given as:

$\omega = 1.25 rad/s \rightarrow$ The angular speed

$\alpha = 0.745 rad/s2 \rightarrow$ The angular acceleration

$r = 4.65 m \rightarrow$ The distance

The relation between the linear velocity and angular velocity is

$v = r\omega$

Where,

r = Radius

$\omega =$ Angular velocity

At the same time we have that the centripetal acceleration is

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{(r\omega)^2}{r}$

$a_c = \frac{r^2\omega^2}{r}$

$a_c = r \omega^2$

$a_c = (4.65 )(1.25 rad/s)^2$

$a_c = 7.265625 m/s^2$

Now the tangential acceleration is given as,

$a_t = \alpha r$

Here,

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

r = Radius

$\alpha = (0.745)(4.65)$

$\alpha = 3.46425 m/s^2$

Finally using the properties of the vectors, we will have that the resulting component of the acceleration would be

$|a| = \sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}$

$|a| = \sqrt{(7.265625)^2+(3.46425)^2}$

$|a| = 8.049 m/s^2 \approx 8.05 m/s2$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Use Wien’s Law to calculate the peak wavelength of Betelgeuse, based on the temperature found in Question #8. Note: 1 nanometer

kodGreya [7K]

The peak wavelength of Betelgeuse is 828 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between surface temperature and peak wavelength of a star is given by Wien's displacement law:

$\lambda=\frac{b}{T}$

where

$\lambda$ is the peak wavelength

T is the surface temperature

$b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K$ is Wien's constant

For Betelgeuse, the surface temperature is approximately

T = 3500 K

Therefore, its peak wavelength is:

$\lambda=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3}}{3500}=8.28\cdot 10^{-7} m = 828 nm$
