A diwali rocket is ejecting 0.05 kg/second of gases per second at a velocity 200m/s .The accelerating force on the rocket will be?
- Velocity of Rocket (v) = 200 m/s.
- Rocket is ejecting Feul at a rate of 0.05 Kg/sec.
From Newton's Second law,
As we know ΔP = mv.
In the case of rockets, the Velocity is constant and mass keeps on varying.
Therefore,
Now, Here
Rate of Feul ejection = m/t
I.e. m/t = 0.05 kg/sec.
Substituting the values in equation (1).
So, the Accelerating Force on the rocket is 10N.
Answer:
The accelerating force on the rocket will be 10 N.
Explanation:
Given;-
Rate at which fuel is burning, dm/dt = 0.05 kg/s
Velocity of gases, v = 200 m/s
Let the accelerating force on the rocket be 'F'
We know by formula that;-
F = v dm/dt
Putting the given values in the formula, we get;-
F = 200 × 0.05
F = 10 N
Hence, the accelerating force on the rocket will be 10 N.
