A rocket moving in outer space maintains a constant acceleration (magnitude = 20 m/s2) while ejecting fuel at a speed of 15 km/s relative to the rocket. If the initial mass of the rocket is 3 000 kg, what is the magnitude of the thrust after 800 kg of fuel have been consumed?
 a. 56 kN
  b. 48 kN
  c. 52 kN
  d. 44 kN
  e. 36 kN

Question 2

A rocket with an initial mass of 1 000 kg adjusts its thrust by varying the rate at which mass is ejected. The ejection speed relative to the rocket is 40 km/s. If the acceleration of the rocket is to have a magnitude of 20 m/s2 at an instant when its mass is 80 of the original mass, at what rate is mass being ejected at that instant? Ignore any external forces on the rocket.
 a. 0.40 kg/s
  b. 0.50 kg/s
  c. 0.60 kg/s
  d. 0.70 kg/s
  e. 0.80 kg/s

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

Oliver Wendell Holmes is credited with introducing the words "anesthesia" and "anesthetic" into the English language in 1846.

The term pharmacology is derived from the Greek words pharmakon("claim, medicine, poison, or remedy") and logos ("study").

Did you know?

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Did you know?

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
