Chapter 7: Q5P (page 170)

(II) Calculate the force exerted on a rocket when the propelling gases are being expelled at a rate of 1300 kg/s with a speed of \(4.5 \times {10^4}\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The exerted force on the rocket is \(5.9 \times {10^7}\;{\rm{N}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The rate of expelled gas is \(\frac{{\Delta m}}{{\Delta t}} = 1300\;{\rm{kg/s}}\).

The speed of the expelled gas is \(v = 4.5 \times {10^2}\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

Let F be the force exerted on the rocket.

02

Calculation of the force on the rocket

The magnitude of the force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

From the impulse-momentum theorem, the force on the rocket is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the expelled gas.

Therefore,

Now substituting the values in the above equation of the force,

\(\begin{array}{c}F = \left( {1300\;{\rm{kg/s}}} \right) \times \left( {4.5 \times {{10}^2}\;{\rm{m/s}}} \right)\\ = 5.9 \times {10^7}\;{\rm{N}}\end{array}\)

Hence, exerted force on the rocket is \(5.9 \times {10^7}\;{\rm{N}}\).

It is said that in ancient times a rich man with a bag of gold coins was stranded on the surface of a frozen lake. Because the ice was frictionless, he could not push himself to shore and froze to death. What could he have done to save himself had he not been so miserly?

Rain is falling at the rate of \({\bf{2}}{\bf{.5}}\;{{{\bf{cm}}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\bf{cm}}} {\bf{h}}}} \right.\\} {\bf{h}}}\) and accumulates in a pan. If the raindrops hit at \({\bf{8}}{\bf{.0}}\;{{\bf{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\bf{m}} {\bf{s}}}} \right. \\} {\bf{s}}}\), estimate the force on the bottom of a \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.0}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\) pan due to the impacting rain which we assume does not rebound. Water has a mass of \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.00 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{3}}}\;{\bf{kg}}\;{\bf{per}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{3}}}\).

A neon atom \(\left( {m = 20.0\;{\rm{u}}} \right)\) makes a perfectly elastic collision with another atom at rest. After the impact, the neon atom travels away at a 55.6掳 angle from its original direction and the unknown atom travels away at a \( - {50.0^ \circ }\) angle. What is the mass (in u) of the unknown atom? [Hint: You could use the law of sines.]

A 4800-kg open railroad car coasts at a constant speed of 7.60 m/s on a level track. Snow begins to fall vertically and fills the car at a rate of 3.80 kg/min. Ignoring friction with the tracks, what is the car鈥檚 speed after 60.0 min? (See Section 7鈥�2.)

Is it possible for an object to receive a larger impulse from a small force than from a large force? Explain.
