Professional Application Ion-propulsion rockets have been proposed for use in space. They employ atomic ionization techniques and nuclear energy sources to produce extremely high exhaust velocities, perhaps as great as 8.00106 m/s. These techniques allow a much more favorable payload-to-fuel ratio. To illustrate this fact: (a) Calculate the increase in velocity of a 20,000-kg space probe that expels only 40.0-kg of its mass at the given exhaust velocity. (b) These engines are usually designed to produce a very small thrust for a very long time—the type of engine that might be useful on a trip to the outer planets, for example. Calculate the acceleration of such an engine if it expels 4.50106 kg/s at the given velocity, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is negligible.
A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?
Ion-propulsion rockets have been proposed for use in space. They employ atomic ionization techniques and nuclear energy sources to produce extremely high exhaust velocities, perhaps as great as 8.00×106m/s. These techniques allow a much more favorable payload-to-fuel ratio. To illustrate this fact: (a) Calculate the increase in velocity of a 20,000-kg space probe that expels only 40.0-kg of its mass at the given exhaust velocity.

Calculate the acceleration of such an engine if it expels 4.50×10−6kg/s at the given velocity, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is negligible.
Po-204 (mass=204 amu) goes alpha decay. Show that, as a result of ejecting alpha particle (He-4, mass=4 amu), the daughter nucleus recoils with a speed equal to 2% that of the alpha particle.
Ion-propulsion rockets have been proposed for use in space. They employ atomic ionization techniques and nuclear energy sources to produce extremely high exhaust velocities, perhaps as great as 8.00 ✕ 106 m/s. These techniques allows a much more favorable payload-to-fuel ratio. To illustrate this fact: (a) Calculate the increase in velocity in m/s of a 23,000-kg space probe that expels only 40.0-kg of its mass at the given exhaust velocity. m/s (b) These engines are usually designed to produce a very small thrust for a very long time—the type of engine that might be useful on a trip to the outer planets, for example.

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time (when they are not sleeping or eating) joyfully scampering about on the cage's floor. Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as 10.3 g,18.5 g,11.3 g, and 18.3 g. At this very instant, the x‑ and y‑components of the mice's velocities are, respectively, (0.115 m/s, −0.527 m/s), ,(−0.237 m/s, −0.391 m/s), ,(0.843 m/s, 0.455 m/s), and (−0.897 m/s, 0.135 m/s). Calculate the x‑ and y‑components of Bryce's mice's total momentum, px and Py. px____kg.m/s py ____kg.m/s
Calculate the maximum rate at which a rocket can expel gases if its acceleration cannot exceed seven times that of gravity. The mass of the rocket just as it runs out of fuel is 75,000 kg, and its exhaust velocity is 2.40x103 m/s. Assume that the acceleration of gravity is the same as on Earth's surface. Group of answer choices 2450 kg/s 2560 kg/s 2670 kg/s 2780 kg/s
