Paul Stender’s car has a rocket attached to it. While on, the rocket provides a thrust force of 51,500 Newtons. The car has as mass of 3,222kg. The coefficients of friction with the road and the tires are μk=.321, μs=.432, μr=.111, and the coefficient of drag is 0.800. The car is 3.0 meters long, 2.0 meters wide and 1.5 meters tall. The density of air is ρ=1.3kg/m3. Remember that the equation for the force of drag is: D = ½ρACdv2. IN VPYTHON:
Create a program that keeps track of for every tenth of a second for the first 5 seconds…:

  • …the amount of chemical energy burnt by the rocket
  • …the amount of energy that is turned into thermal energy through wind drag
  • …the amount of energy that is turned into thermal energy through rolling friction
  • …The amount of energy that ends up as Kinetic Energy

You may assume a 100% efficient chemical process in the rocket. You may also assume that the mass change of the rocket is negligible.

Hi,

I can do the coding, but I'm at a loss for the physics behind the question. I don't know what qualifies as the total energy, or how to find it in this situation.

Thank you.

Uranus has moved 4.0 degrees across the sky in one year. Neptune has moved 2.1 degrees across the sky in one year.

1. How many degrees should a planet move across the sky when completing one revolution around the Sun? (Hint: It orbits in an ellipse, roughly the shape of a circle)

2. Calculate the orbital period of Uranus (in years), based on it moving 4.0 degrees in one year.

3. Calculate the orbital period of Neptune (in years), based on it moving 2.1 degrees in one year.

4. What is the theoretical (textbook) value for the orbital period of Uranus (in years)?

5. What is the theoretical (textbook) value for the orbital period of Neptune (in years)?

6. Compare your answers from questions 1 and 4. Calculate the percent error for the orbital period of Uranus.

7. Compare your answers from questions 2 and 5. Calculate the percent error for the orbital period of Neptune.

8. Using your results from question 2, use Kepler's third law, P2=a3, to calculate the average distance Uranus orbits the sun (in AU).

9. Using your results from question 2, use Kepler's third law, P2=a3, to calculate the average distance Neptune orbits the sun (in AU).

10. A planet called "Z" has been discovered 52.0 AU from the Sun. Using Kepler's 3rd Law, calculate the orbital period of the planet (in years).

11. Planet X moves 5 arc minutes in one year. What is the orbital period of Planet X (in years)? Remember that there are 60 arc minutes in one degree.

12. Find the gravitational force between Earth and the moon. The Moon's average distance from the Earth is 3.84 x 108 meters. The Moon's mass is 7.34 x 1022 kg and the Earth's mass is 5.97 x 1024. Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to solve for the force. The answer you get is going to be a large force in newtons. Enter ONLY the exponent of your answer below.

Imagine that you place your stereo speakers outside (to provide music for a party). They are places distance of 1.5 m apart along a line we will call the y axis. Imagine that both speakers are reproducing the sound of a female singer holding a solo high A (880 Hz) for several seconds consider a line parallel to the y axis but 8.0 m from it. At what points along this second line would the sound be loudest? At what points would it be weakest?
