6. A rocket burning its onboard fuel while moving through space has velocity −→v (t) and mass m(t) at time t. If the exhaust gases escape with velocity −→v e, relative to the rocket, then md−→v /dt = dm/dt−→v e. (a) Show using this equation that −→v (t) = −→v (0) − ln(m(0)/m(t))−→v e; (b) If the rocket accelerates in a straight line from rest to twice the speed of its exhaust gases, then what fraction of its initial mass would the rocket have to burn as fuel?

An electron and a proton have the same kinetic energy upon entering a region of constant magnetic field and their velocity vectors are perpendicular to the magnetic field. suppose the magnetic field is strong enough to allow the particles to circle in the field. note: you'll need to look up the masses for an electron and proton. 1) what is the ratio of the radii of their circular paths rp/re?

Aturntable a is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. it is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk b starts to slide on the turntable 10 s after the turntable begins to rotate. knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.31 m/s2, determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable.

Calculate the first and second velocities of the car with four washers attached to the pulley, using the formulas v1 = 0.25 m / t1 , and v2 = 0.25 m / (t2 – t1) where t1 and t2 are the average times the car took to reach the 0.25 and the 0.50 meter marks. record these velocities, to two decimal places, in table e.
