You are a junior space cadet on an interstellar space station.
Your job is to launch a long distance spacecraft. The mass of the
spacecraft without any fuel is 1217 kg. This mass is often called
dry mass. The rocket engine of the craft can exhaust hot gas at a
speed of 2.26 km/s relative to the space craft. How much rocket
propellant does the craft need, if you want the craft to reach a
final speed of 5.51 km/s relative to the station? In interstellar
space the gravitational pull of the stars is negligible.

A 60 kg soccer player jumps vertically upwards and heads the
0.45 kg ball as it is descending vertically with a speed of 27 m/s.
If the player was moving upward with a speed of 4.0 m/s just before
impact, what will be the speed of the ball immediately after the
collision if the ball rebounds vertically upwards and the collision
is elastic?
______m/s
If the ball is in contact with the player's head for 20 ms, what is
the average acceleration of the ball? (Note that the force of
gravity may be ignored during the brief collision time.)

Divers get “the bends” when bubbles of N2 gas form in their bloodstream if they rise too rapidly from a deep dive. Calculate the solubility (mol L−1) of N2 in water (this is roughly equal to the solubility in blood serum) at sea level and at a depth of 300 ft below the surface of the ocean. It is given that: the density of seawater is 1.01 gcm−3, the density of mercury is 13.6 gcm−3 and the Henry’s constant of N2 is 86 × 103 atm.
Answer is 6.4 × 10−3molL−1 but idk how they got it

Write a creative story to tell about the journey of a jogger from one location in a park to another location. Make up some events and experiences that the jogger goes through on his/her journey. Tell what happens to the jogger throughout the journey (e.g., being chased by a dog or having to slow down for a parade, etc.) As you tell the story, use the terms speed, velocity and acceleration and explain how and why these values change for the jogger as he/she goes through different parts of his/her trip. Your story can be creative and funny or serious as long as you use the terms speed, velocity and acceleration. Make sure that the story conveys the meanings of these terms and the differences between them.

A merry-go-round with a moment of inertia of 750 kgm^2 and a radius of 2.55 m is rotating with an angular velocity of 9.42 rad/s clockwise (as viewed from above.) A child, whose weight is 334 N, runs at 2.76 m/s tangent to the rim of the merry-go-round and jumps onto it in the direction opposite of its sense of rotation. With what angular speed does the merry-go-round rotate after the child jumps onto its edge?
I'm pretty sure the answer is going to be negative.

Explain, in thermodynamic terms what happens and how it is achieved to ensure that an engine can operate at high altitude for commercial aircraft since the highier they go the less air is present for the engines to work with. What changes, differences in design for engines, are required for aircraft that operate at higher altitudes?

A woman of mass m = 53.4 kg sits on the left end of a seesaw—a plank of length L = 4.25 m—pivoted in the middle as shown in the figure.

plank (m).

On average, both arms and hands together account for 13% of a person's mass, while the head is 7.0% and the trunk and legs account for 80%. We can model a spinning skater with her arms outstretched as a vertical cylinder (head, trunk, and legs) with two solid uniform rods (arms and hands) extended horizontally.
Suppose a 62.0 kg skater is 1.60 m tall, has arms that are each 64.0 cm long (including the hands), and a trunk that can be modeled as being 32.0 cm in diameter. If the skater is initially spinning at 80.0 rpm with her arms outstretched, what will her angular velocity ω2 be (in rpm) after she pulls in her arms and they are at her sides parallel to her trunk? Assume that friction between the skater and the ice is negligible.
My answer was 293.93. Please show your work so I may trackback where I went wrong thank you
