Assume air resistance is negligible.

The radius R of the shockwave, at time t after the explosion, is related to the energy E released and the density of the surrounding medium according to the equation 0.2 0.2 zR E t −= where z is a constant to be determined.

6 @ DHS 2023 3 A toy rocket consists of a plastic bottle which is partial ly filled with water. The space above the water contained compressed air, as shown in Fig. 3.1. Fig 3.1 At one instant during the flight of the rocket, water of density is forced through the nozzle of radius r at speed v relative to the nozzle. (a) State Newton’s 3rd Law. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………….. . ……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

7 @ DHS 2023 (c) The toy manufacturer recommends that the rocket should contain about 550 cm3 of water before take-off. If the initial air pressure is 1.6 × 10 5 Pa, all of this water will be expelled and the pressure is just reduced to atmospheric pressure as the last of the water is expelled. However, on one flight, the initial volume of water was 750 cm 3 but the initial air pressure in the rocket was still 1.6 × 10 5 Pa.

Suggest and explain whether mud near the edge of the plate or near the centre will first leave the plate as the speed of rotation of the plate is slowly increased. …………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………. ……………………………………………………………………………………...
