Check direction of acceleration vector.
Answer:
a) V_f = 25.514 m/s
b) Q =53.46 degrees CCW from + x-axis
Explanation:
Given:
- Initial speed V_i = 20.5 j m/s
- Acceleration a = 0.31 i m/s^2
- Time duration for acceleration t = 49.0 s
Find:
(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off?
(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis.
Solution:
- We can apply the kinematic equation of motion for our problem assuming a constant acceleration as given:
V_f = V_i + a*t
V_f = 20.5 j + 0.31 i *49
V_f = 20.5 j + 15.19 i
- The magnitude of the velocity vector is given by:
V_f = sqrt ( 20.5^2 + 15.19^2)
V_f = sqrt(650.9861)
V_f = 25.514 m/s
- The direction of the velocity vector can be computed by using x and y components of velocity found above:
tan(Q) = (V_y / V_x)
Q = arctan (20.5 / 15.19)
Q =53.46 degrees
- The velocity vector is at angle @ 53.46 degrees CCW from the positive x-axis.
Answer: 16.3 seconds
Explanation: Given that the
Initial velocity U = 80 ft/s
Let's first calculate the maximum height reached by using third equation of motion.
V^2 = U^2 - 2gH
Where V = final velocity and H = maximum height.
Since the toy is moving against the gravity, g will be negative.
At maximum height, V = 0
0 = 80^2 - 2 × 9.81 × H
6400 = 19.62H
H = 6400/19.62
H = 326.2
Let's us second equation of motion to find time.
H = Ut - 1/2gt^2
Let assume that the ball is dropped from the maximum height. Then,
U = 0. The equation will be reduced to
H = 1/2gt^2
326.2 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t^2
326.2 = 4.905t^2
t^2 = 326.2/4.905
t = sqrt( 66.5 )
t = 8.15 seconds
The time it will take for the rocket to return to ground level will be 2t.
That is, 2 × 8.15 = 16.3 seconds
Answer:
C. 110 m/s2
Explanation:
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Since we have the force and the mass, we can rearrange this equation to solve for acceleration by dividing both sides by mass:
Force/Mass = (Mass x Acceleration)/Mass
Acceleration = Force/Mass
Now we just have to plug in our values and calculate!
Acceleration = 48.4/0.44
Acceleration = 110m/s/s
It is option C. 110 m/s2
Hope this helped!
I was about to say: because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.
But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.
"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science.
First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news. Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.
Second, let's face it. The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.
There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned. But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.
That's pretty much why.
