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

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

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

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

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

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

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Both of the stunt professionals will sustain injuries of the same seriousness

Explanation:

We are being told that both stunt professionals are standing from the same height, therefore they will attain the same equivalent speed at the bottom if we are to look at it from the principle of conservation of energy.

Now; According to principle of momentum; the momentum at which the first stunt professional A hits the ground be equal as the momentum with which stunt professional B will hit the wall.

Thus; both of the stunt professionals will sustain injuries of the same seriousness

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 723 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original Frequency $f=723\ Hz$

apparent Frequency $f'=697\ Hz$

There is change in frequency whenever source move relative to the observer.

From Doppler effect we can write as

$f'=f\cdot \frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}$

where

$f'=$ apparent frequency

v=velocity of sound in the given media

$v_s=$ velocity of source

$v_0=$ velocity of observer

here $v_0=0$

$697=723\cdot (\frac{343-0}{343+v_s})$

$v_s=(\frac{f}{f'}-1)v$

$v_s=(\frac{723}{697}-1)\cdot 343$

$v_s=12.79\approx 12.8\ m/s$

i.e.fork acquired a velocity of $12.8 m/s$

distance traveled by fork is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$v_s^2-0=2\times 9.8\times s$

$s=\frac{12.8^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$s=8.35\ m$

Imagine a small child whose legs are half as long as her parent’s legs. If her parent can walk at maximum speed V, at what maxim

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

Explanation:

We know that speed is given by dividing distance by time or multiplying length and frequency. The speed of the father will be given by Lf where L is the length of the father’s leg ad f is the frequency.

We know that frequency of simple pendulum follows that $f=\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}$

Now, the speed of the father will be $V=Lf= L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})$ while for the child the speed will be $v=\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})$

The ratio of the father’s speed to the child’s speed will be

$\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})}{ L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})}\\\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}\\\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

A car hits another and the two bumpers lock together during the collision. is this an elastic or inelastic collision?

valkas [14]

Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.

An experiment consists of determining the speed of automobiles on a highway by the use of radar equipment. The random variable i

faust18 [17]

The random variable in this experiment is a Continuous random variable.

Option D

<u>Explanation</u>:

The continuous random variable is random variable where the data can take infinite variables. For example random variable is taken for measuring "speed of automobiles" on the highways. The radar instrument depicts time taken by automobile in particular what speed. They are the generalization of discrete random variables not the real numbers as a random data is created. It gives infinite sets of all possible outcomes. It is obvious that outcomes of the instrument depend on some "physical variables" those are not predictable as depends on the situation.
