Answer:

10s

Explanation:

Acceleration is a measure of a rate of change of velocity, or in other words, a measure of how quickly the velocity is changing.

If acceleration is constant, then the velocity is changing by a constant amount.

With an acceleration of 100 m/s^2, starting from the launching pad (and thus, an initial velocity of zero), we can calculate how long it will take to reach a final velocity of 1000m/s with the following formula:

v=at+v_o where "v" is the final velocity at some later time "t", "a" is the constant acceleration, and "v" sub-zero is the initial velocity.

v=at+v_o

(1000\text{ [m/s]})=(100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] )t+(0\text{ [m/s]})

1000\text{ [m/s]}=100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] *t

\dfrac{1000\text{ [m/s]}}{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2]}=\dfrac{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] *t}{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2]}

10\text{ [s]}=t

So, it will take 10 seconds for the rocket to reach 1000m/s when starting from the launching pad, with a constant velocity of 100m/s^2.

<u>Verification:</u>

In this situation, it is quick to verify that 10 seconds is correct by looking at what the velocities will be each second.

Recognizing that the acceleration is a=\dfrac{100 [\frac{m}{s}]}{1[s]}, the velocity increases by 100 units [m/s] every second.

At time 0[s], the velocity is 0[m/s]

At time 1[s], the velocity is 100[m/s]

At time 2[s], the velocity is 200[m/s]

At time 3[s], the velocity is 300[m/s]

At time 4[s], the velocity is 400[m/s]

At time 5[s], the velocity is 500[m/s]

At time 6[s], the velocity is 600[m/s]

At time 7[s], the velocity is 700[m/s]

At time 8[s], the velocity is 800[m/s]

At time 9[s], the velocity is 900[m/s]

At time 10[s], the velocity is 1000[m/s]

So, indeed, after 10 seconds, the velocity reaches 1000 m/s

A skydiver prepares to jump out of a plane. Explain how gravity and air resistance will affect the motion of the skydiver before
ahrayia [7]
Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.

As a physics instructor hurries to the bus stop, her bus passes her, stops ahead, and begins loading passengers. She runs at 6.0
Alika [10]

velocity of the physics instructor with respect to bus

v = 6 m/s

acceleration of the bus is given as

a = 2 m/s^2

acceleration of instructor with respect to bus is given as

a = -2 m/s^2

now the maximum distance that instructor will move with respect to bus is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 6^2 = 2(-2)(d)

-36 = - 4 d

d = 9 m

so the position of the instructor with respect to door is exceed by

\delta x = 9 - 6 = 3 m

so it will be moved maximum by 3 m distance
