Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the instant their retrorockets fire. Rocket A has an initia

l velicity of +5800m/s, while Rocket B has an initial velocity of +8600m/s. After a time t both rockets are again side by side, the displacement of each being zero. The acceleration of rocket A is -15m/s^2. What is the acceleration of rocket B?

Answer:

-22.2 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation for position x for a constant acceleration a, time t and initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀:

(1) x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0

For rocket A the initial and final position: x = x₀= 0. Using these values in equation 1 gives:

(2) 0=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t

Solving for time t:

-\frac{1}{2}at^2=v_0t

(3) t=-\frac{2v_0}{a}

The times for both rockets must be equal, since they start and end at the same location. Using equation 3 for rocket A and B gives:

(4) \frac{v_{0A}}{a_A}=\frac{v_{0B}}{a_B}

Solving equation 4 for acceleration of rocket B:

(5) a_B=a_A\frac{v_{0B}}{v_{0A}}

A competitive go-cart driver is traveling at a speed of 32m/s. He sees a caution flag go up and slows down at a rate of -1.5 m/s
djyliett [7]

Answer:

His final velocity is 15.8 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the driver is, u=32 m/s

Acceleration of the driver is, a=-1.5 m/s²

Time taken to reach final velocity is, t=10.8 s.

The final velocity is given using the Newton's equations of motion as:

v=u+at, where, v is the final velocity.

Now, plug in the given values and solve for v.

v=32-1.5(10.8)\\v=32-16.2=15.8\textrm{ m/s}

Therefore, his final velocity is 15.8 m/s.

a certain projetor uses a concave mirror for projecting an object's image on a screen .it produces on image that is 4 times bigg
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

f = 1 m

Explanation:

The magnification of the lens is given by the formula:

M = \frac{q}{p}

where,

M = Magnification = 4

q = image distance = 5 m

p = object distance = ?

Therefore,

4 = \frac{5\ m}{p}\\\\p = \frac{5\ m}{4}\\\\p = 1.25\ m

Now using thin lens formula:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{1.25\ m}+\frac{1}{5\ m}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = 1\ m^{-1}\\\\

<u>f = 1 m</u>
