Chapter 9: Q111P (page 255)

A rocket sled with a mass of 2900 kg moves at 250mson a set of rails. At a certain point, a scoop on the sled dips into a trough of water located between the tracks and scoops water into an empty tank on the sled. By applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum, determine the speed of the sled after 920 kgof water has been scooped up. Ignore any retarding force on the scoop.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Speed of sled after 920 kg water is scooped up is 190ms.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

  1. Rocket sled mass is,m1=2900kg.
  2. Speed of sled is,v1=250ms.
  3. Mass of water is, m2=920kg.
02

Determine the formulas and solve as:

Formula is as follow:

m1v1=(m1+m2)v2

Here, m1, m2 are masses, v1, v2 are velocities.

03

Determining the speed of sled after 920 kg water is scooped up

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

m1v1=(m1+m2)v22900脳250=(2900脳920)脳v2v2=189.79ms

In two significant figure:

v2=190ms

This is the speed of the water which is equal to the speed of the sled.

Therefore, speed of the sled after 920 kg water is scooped up is190ms

Using the law of conservation of momentum, the speed of one of the objects undergoing elastic collision can be found if the speed of the system after collision is known.

Figure 9-82 shows a uniform square plate of edge length 6d=6.0 m from which a square piece of edge length 2dhas been removed. What are (a) the xcoordinate and (b) the ycoordinate of the center of mass of the remaining piece?

The free-body diagrams in Fig. 9-27 give, from overhead views, the horizontal forces acting on three boxes of chocolates as the boxes move over a frictionless confectioner鈥檚 counter. For each box, is its linear momentum conserved along the x-axis and the y-axis?

A 6100 kgrocket is set for vertical firing from the ground. If the exhaust speed is 1200 m/s, how much gas must be ejected each second if the thrust (a) is to equal the magnitude of the gravitational force on the rocket and (b) is to give the rocket an initial upward acceleration of 21m/s2?

The script for an action movie calls for a small race car (of mass 1500 Kgand length 3.0 m ) to accelerate along a flattop boat (of mass 4000 kgand length 14 m), from one end of the boat to the other, where the car will then jump the gap between the boat and a somewhat lower dock. You are the technical advisor for the movie. The boat will initially touch the dock, as in Fig. 9-81; the boat can slide through the water without significant resistance; both the car and the boat can be approximated as uniform in their mass distribution. Determine what the width of the gap will be just as the car is about to make the jump.

During a lunar mission, it is necessary to increase the speed of a spacecraft by 2.2mswhen it is moving at400msrelative to the Moon. The speed of the exhaust products from the rocket engine is1000msrelative to the spacecraft. What fraction of the initial mass of the spacecraft must be burned and ejected to accomplish the speed increase?
