A 6090 kgspace probe moving nose-first toward Jupiter at 105 m/srelatives to the Sun fires its rocket engine, ejectingof exhaust at a speed of 253 m/srelatives to the space probe. What is the final velocity of the probe?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Final velocity of the probe is 108m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Mass of the space probe isMi=6090kg

Mass of the exhaust isMe=80kg

Speed of the exhaust relative to the space probe is,vrel=253m/s

Initial speed of the space probe is,vi,s=105m/s

02

Concept

Using the second rocket equation we can find the final velocity of the probe.

Formula:

Second rocket equation gives,

vf-vi=vrelInMiMf

03

Calculation of final velocities

Final mass of the system

Mi-Me=6090-80=6010kg

Initial speed of the system is,

vi=vi,s+vi,e=105m/s+0=105m/s

Second rocket equation gives,

vf-vi=vrelInMiMf=105+253In60906010=108.35~108m/s

Therefore, Final velocity of the probe is 108 m/s

An 1000kgautomobile is at rest at a traffic signal. At the instant the light turns green, the automobile starts to move with a constant acceleration of4.0m/s2 . At the same instant a 2000kgtruck, travelling at a constant speed of , overtakes and passes the automobile. (a) How far is the com of the automobile–truck system from the traffic light att=3.0s ? (b) What is the speed of the com then?

A uniform soda can of mass0.140kgis12.0cmtall and filled with0.354kgof soda (Figure 9-41). Then small holes are drilled in the top and bottom (with negligible loss of metal) to drain the soda. (a) What is the height hof the com of the can and contents initially and (b) After the can loses all the soda? (c) What happens to has the soda drains out? (d) If xis the height of the remaining soda at any given instant, find x when the com reaches its lowest point.

In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes another ball of the same mass and initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball moves at 3.50 m/s along a line making an angle of22.0° 2 with the cue ball’s original direction of motion, and the second ball has a speed of 2.00m/s. Find (a) the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion of the cue ball and (b) the original speed of the cue ball. (c) Is kinetic energy (of the centers of mass, don’t consider the rotation) conserved?

In Fig. 9-64, block A (mass 1.6 kg)slides into block B (mass 2.4 kg), along a frictionless surface. The directions of three velocities before (i) and after (f) the collision are indicated; the corresponding speeds are vAi=5.5m/s, vBi=2.5m/s, and vBf=4.9m/s. What are the (a) speed and (b) direction (left or right) of velocity v→AF? (c) Is the collision elastic?
