The correct value for the rocket speed measured by an observer on earth would be = 14c

<h3>Calculation and of the rocket speed</h3>

To calculate the speed of the rocket we should observe that the rocket and the missile are in a relative motion which are moving on the same direction.

The speed of the rocket = 12c

The speed of the missile = 12c

The individual speed of earth =0c

But, the relative speed of the missile and the Earth is the sum of individual speeds.

Thus, the speed of rocket as measured by an observer on the Earth would be 0 + 14c = 14c.

Therefore, the correct value for the rocket speed measured by an observer on earth would be =14c

Superman is flying 54.5 m/s when he sees
Nady [450]

348.34 m/s. When Superman reaches the train, his final velocity will be 348.34 m/s.

To solve this problem, we are going to use the kinematics equations for constant aceleration. The key for this problem are the equations d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2} and v_{f} =v_{0} +at where d is distance, v_{0} is the initial velocity, v_{f} is the final velocity, t is time, and a is aceleration.

Superman's initial velocity is v_{0}=54.5\frac{m}{s}, and he will have to cover a distance d = 850m in a time t = 4.22s. Since we know d, v_{0} and t, we have to find the aceleration a in order to find v_{f}.

From the equation d=v_{0} t+\frac{at^{2} }{2} we have to clear a, getting the equation as follows: a=\frac{2(d-v_{0}t) }{t^{2} }.

Substituting the values:

a=\frac{2(850m-54.5\frac{m}{s}.4.22s) }{(4.22s)^{2}}=69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}

To find v_{f} we use the equation v_{f} =v_{0} +at.

Substituting the values:

v_{f} =54.5\frac{m}{s} +(69.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}.4.22s)=348.34\frac{m}{s}

The roller coaster is designed according to safety regulations that prohibit the speed of the car from exceeding 20 m/s. find th
hram777 [196]

maximum allowed value of the speed in roller coaster is given as

v = 20 m/s

now from kinematics we can say

v^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s

here initial speed will be

v_i = 0

acceleration is due to gravity

a = 9.8 m/s^2

now we can use this to find the height

20^2 - 0^2 = 2 * 9.8* h

400 = 19.6 *h

h = 20.4 m

so maximum allowed height will be 20.4 m
