Answer:

1.37 seconds before.... splat !

Explanation:

y = y0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t^2      y0 = 30       y = 0

                    v0 = 0 ( from rest)

                            a = - 32.2 ft/s^2

0 = 30 - 1/2 * 32.2 * t^2

t=1.366 seconds                   <u>  Note that   mass   is irrelevant.</u>

· A car moves at 12 m/s and coasts up a hill with a
Zigmanuir [339]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a car, u = 12 m/s

Aceleration, a = -1.6 m/s²

(a) The displacement of car after 6 seconds is :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=12\times 6+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-1.6)\times 6^2\\\\d=43.2\ m

(b) The displacement of the car after 9 seconds is :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=12\times 9+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-1.6)\times 9^2\\\\d=43.2\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

-- We know that the y-component of acceleration is the derivative of the
y-component of velocity.

-- We know that the y-component of velocity is the derivative of the
y-component of position.

-- We're given the y-component of position as a function of time.

So, finding the velocity and acceleration is simply a matter of differentiating
the position function ... twice.

Now, the position function may look big and ugly in the picture.  But with the
exception of  't' , everything else in the formula is constants, so we don't even
need any fancy processes of differentiation.  The toughest part of this is going
to be trying to write it out, given the text-formatting capabilities of the wonderful
envelope-pushing website we're working on here.

From the picture . . . . . y (t) = (1/2) (a₀ - g) t² - (a₀ / 30t₀⁴ ) t⁶

First derivative . . . y' (t) = (a₀ - g) t  -  6 (a₀ / 30t₀⁴ ) t⁵  =  (a₀ - g) t  -  (a₀ / 5t₀⁴ ) t⁵

There's your velocity . . . /\ .

Second derivative . . . y'' (t) = (a₀ - g) -  5 (a₀ / 5t₀⁴ ) t⁴ = (a₀ - g) -  (a₀ /t₀⁴ ) t⁴

and there's your acceleration . . . /\ .
That's the one you're supposed to graph.

a₀ is the acceleration due to the model rocket engine thrust
     combined with the mass of the model rocket
'g' is the acceleration of gravity ... 9.8 m/s² or 32.2 ft/sec²
t₀  is how long the model rocket engine burns

Pick, or look up, some reasonable figures for a₀ and t₀
and you're in business.

The big name in model rocketry is Estes.  Their website will give you
all the real numbers for thrust and burn-time of their engines, if you
want to follow it that far.

Two people use a ramp to move a heavy box on to a truck. The box weighs 750 N the mechanical advantage of the ramp is 4. How muc
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The amount of effort needed to move the box is 187.5 N

Explanation:

weight of the box = load moved by the ramp, L = 750 N

mechanical advantage of the ramp, MA = 4

effort needed to move the box, E = ?

Mechanical advantage is given as = Load / Effort

Effort = Load / Mechanical advantage

Effort = 750 / 4

Effort = 187.5 N

Therefore, the amount of effort needed to move the box on to the truck using a ramp is 187.5 N
