A communications satellite weighing 10,000 lb, including fuel, was injected from a space shuttle in low orbit around the earth. After the satellite slowly drifted to a safe distance from the shuttle, its engine was operated to increase its speed by 8000 ft/s as the first step in its transition into a geosynchronous orbit. It is known that fuel is released with a relative speed of 13,750 ft/s. Determine the weight of fuel consumed in the process that took place. choices of the correct answer: 7930 lbs 9930 lbs 4410 lbs 5430 lbs 2230 lbs
Principle of Linear Impulse and Momentum for a System of Particles To apply the principle of linear impulse and momentum to a system of particles. Integrating the equation of motion, as applied to all particles in a system, yields ∑mi(vi)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=∑mi(vi)2 where mi is the ith particle's mass, vi is the ith particle's velocity, and Fi is the external force that acts on the ith particle. This relationship states that the sum of the initial linear momenta, at time t1, and the impulses of all the external forces acting between times t1 and t2 is equal to the sum of the linear momenta of the system, at time t2. If the system has a mass center, G, the expression becomes m(vG)1+∑∫t2t1Fidt=m(vG)2 This expression allows the principle of linear impulse and momentum to be applied to a system of particles that is represented as a single particle.

▼ Part A Two blocks, each of mass m = 7.60 kg, are connected by a massless rope and start sliding down a slope of incline 0= 40.0° at t = 0.000 s. The slope's top portion is a rough surface whose coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.350. At a distance d = 1.40 m from block A's initial position the slope becomes frictionless. (Figure 1)What is the velocity of the blocks when block A reaches this frictional transition point? Assume that the blocks' width is negligible.

5. The jet engines on an airplace must develop a certain amount of power to propel the airplane through the air with a speed of 280 km/h at a cruising altitude of 4,000 m. By what percent must the power be increased if the same airplane were to maintain its 280 km/h flight speed at 500 m altitude?
A 20-kg base satellite deploys three sub-satellites, each which has its own thrust capabilities, to perform research on tether propulsion. The masses of sub-satellites A, B, and C are 4 kg, 6 kg, and 8 kg, respectively, and their velocities expressed in m/s are given by vA = 4i - 2j +2k, vB = i + 4j, vC = 2i + 2j +4k. At the instant shown, what is the angular momentum HO of the system about the base satellite?
Water accelerated by a nozzle to 33 m/s strikes the vertical back surface of a cart moving horizontally at a constant velocity of 9 m/s in the flow direction. The mass flow rate of water through the stationary nozzle is 30 kg/s. After the strike, the water stream splatters off in all directions in the plane of the back surface. Determine the force that needs to be applied by the brakes of the cart to prevent it from accelerating. If this force were used to generate power instead of wasting it on the brakes, determine the maximum amount of power that could ideally be generated.
PROBLEM 8. The total weight of space shuttle including its payload mass and the empty external tank, and its empty two solid rocket boosters is mo = 428,100 lb. It is known that the external tank and the two solid rocket boosters initially holds m,(0) = 3,728,875 lb of fuel (that is the total weight of solid fuel plus liquid oxygen and hydrogen). The shuttle consumes its liquid and solid fuels at a constant rate of A = 14,300 lb/s. Also, it is known that the shuttle thrust force is F, = 400,000 lb. (a) Use the Newton's 2nd law below to find the second order differential equation that describes the vertical position y of the space shuttle as a function of time. The shuttle is launched vertically upward from the ground as shown below, with the positive direction upward and the air resistance is ignored. The Earth's gravitational acceleration on its surface is g = 32.2 ft/s² and its radius is R = 4000 miles. Frotat (t) = [m(t). v] Fthrust Where, - Frotat(t) is the net force acting on the…
A spacecraft cruising in space at a constant velocity of 2100 ft/s has a mass of 24,000 lbm. To slow down the spacecraft, a solid fuel rocket is fired, and the combustion gases leave the rocket at a constant rate of 150 lbm/s at a velocity of 5000 ft/s in the same direction as the spacecraft for a period of 5 s. Assuming the mass of the spacecraft remains constant, determine the following: The deceleration of the spacecraft during this 5 s period. The change in velocity of the spacecraft during this time period. The thrust exerted on the spacecraft.
To dramatize the loss of energy in an automobile, consider a car having a weight of 5000 lb that is traveling at 35 mi/h. If the car is brought to a stop, determine how long a 100-W light bulb must burn to expend the same amount of energy. (1 mi = 5280 ft.)
