For a railgun, determine the current required to accelerate a 1000kg space vehicle to earths escape velocity on 10km of track with a magnetic fied of 2T and a rail separation of 2m. Earths escape velocity is 11.2km/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

the current is 15.68 × [tex]10^{5}[/tex] A

Explanation:

mass = 1000 kg

magnetic fied = 2T

rail separation = 2m

escape velocity is 11.2km/s  = 11.2 × [tex]10^{3}[/tex] m/s

distance = 10 km = [tex]10^{4}[/tex] m

to find out

determine the current

solution

we know force F = I×L×B

here I is current and L is rail separation and B is magnetic field

so F = I ×2×2  = 4 I

so

acceleration is a = [tex]\frac{F}{mass}[/tex]

a =  [tex]\frac{4I}{1000}[/tex] m/s²

so equation of motion

v²-u² = 2 a S

here u is initial velocity and S is distance and a is acceleration and v is final velocity

11.2 × [tex]10^{3}[/tex] - 0 = 2×  [tex]\frac{4I}{1000}[/tex] × [tex]10^{4}[/tex]

solve we get I

I = 15.68 × [tex]10^{5}[/tex] A

so the current is 15.68 × [tex]10^{5}[/tex] A
