A space shuttle burns fuel at the rate of 13,000kg in each second. Find the force exerted by the fuel on the shuttle if in 2s the shuttle experiences a change in momentum of 325,000kgm/s.

Respuesta :

Answer:

162,500

Explanation:

P=F(t)

32500=F(2)

The force exerted by the fuel on the shutter will be "162500 N". To understand the calculation, check below.

Force and Momentum

According to the question,

Change in momentum, ΔP = 325,000 kg.m/s

Time, Δt = 2 sec

Mass = 13,000 kg

We know the relation,

→ Force, F = [tex]\frac{dP}{dt}[/tex] or,

                 = [tex]\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}[/tex]

                 = [tex]\frac{Change \ in \ momentum}{Time}[/tex]

By substituting the values,

                 = [tex]\frac{325000}{2}[/tex]

                 = 162500 N

Thus the above answer is correct.
