A test rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y = 0 m), at time t = 0.0 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward

acceleration during the burn phase. At the instant of engine burnout, the rocket has risen to 49 m and acquired a velocity of 30m/s. How long did the burn phase last?

The important thing to note here is the direction of motion of the test rocket. Since it mentions that the rocket travels vertically upwards, then this motion can be applied to rectilinear equations that are derived from Newton's Laws of Motions.These useful equations are:

y = v₁t + 1/2 at²
a = (v₂-v₁)/t

where
y is the vertical distance travelled
v₁ is the initial velocity
v₂ is the final velocity
t is the time 
a is the acceleration

When a test rocket is launched, there is an initial velocity in order to launch it to the sky. However, it would gradually reach terminal velocity in the solar system. At this point, the final velocity is equal to 0. So, v₂ = 0. Let's solve the second equation first.

a = (v₂-v₁)/t
a = (0-30)/t
a = -30/t

Let's substitute a to the first equation:
y = v₁t + 1/2 at²
49 = 30t + 1/2 (-30/t)t²
49 = 30t -15t
49 = 15 t
t = 49/15
t = 3.27 seconds

A book is launched up along the rough incline. Kinetic energy given to a book at initial point is 100 J. Book comes to stop at s
den301095 [7]

Answer:

(A) 60 J

Explanation:

At state 1

KE₁=100 J

At state 2

KE₂ = 0

U₂=80 J

Given that surface is rough so friction force will act in opposite to the direction of motion

Lets take work done by friction = Wfr

From work power energy

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic energy

Wfr + U₂=ΔKE

Wfr+80 = 100

Wfr= 20 J

Now when book slides from top position then

Wfr+ U = KEf - KEi

-20 + 80 = KEf-0

KEf= 60 J

(A) 60 J

adelina 88 [10]
<h3>Answer:  130 meters</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

vi = 5 and vf = 8 are the initial and final velocities respectively. The change in time is t = 20 seconds.

So,

x = 0.5*(vi + vf)*t

x = 0.5*(5+8)*20

x = 130 meters

represents the distance traveled. The first equation shown above is one of the four kinematics equations.

A projectile is shot directly away from Earth's surface. Neglect the rotation of the Earth.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of  conservation of mechanical energy for projectile being thrown .

Total energy on the surface = total energy at height h required

a ) At height h , velocity = .351 x ( 2 GM/R x h )

\frac{-GM}{R} + \frac{m\times(.351\times\sqrt{2GM})^2 }{2R } = \frac{-GMm}{R+h} + 0

\frac{-GMm}{R} +\frac{1}{2}\times  \frac{-2GMm}{R} \times0.123=\frac{-GMm}{R+h}

\frac{0.877GMm}{R} =\frac{-GMm}{R+h}

h = .14 R

b )

\frac{-GM}{R} + \frac{m\times(.351\times2GM) }{2R } = \frac{-GMm}{R+h} + 0

\frac{-0.649GMm}{R} = \frac{-GMm}{R+h}

h = .54 R

c ) least initial mechanical energy required at launch if the projectile is to escape Earth

= GMm / R + 1/2 m (2GM/R)

= 0
