A model rocket rises with constant acceleration to a height of 4.2 m, at which point its speed is 27.0 m/s. How much time does i

Answers:

a) $t=0.311 s$

b) $a=86.847 m/s^{2}$

c) $y=1.736 m$

d) $V=17.369 m/s$

Explanation:

For this situation we will use the following equations:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ (1)

$V=V_{o} + at$ (2)

Where:

$y$ is the <u>height of the model rocket at a given time</u>

$y_{o}=0$ is the i<u>nitial height </u>of the model rocket

$V_{o}=0$ is the<u> initial velocity</u> of the model rocket since it started from rest

$V$ is the <u>velocity of the rocket at a given height and time</u>

$t$ is the <u>time</u> it takes to the model rocket to reach a certain height

$a$ is the <u>constant acceleration</u> due gravity and the rocket's thrust

<h2>a) Time it takes for the rocket to reach the height=4.2 m</h2>

The average velocity of a body moving at a constant acceleration is:

$V=\frac{V_{1}+V_{2}}{2}$ (3)

For this rocket is:

$V=\frac{27 m/s}{2}=13.5 m/s$ (4)

Time is determined by:

$t=\frac{y}{V}$ (5)

$t=\frac{4.2 m}{13.5 m/s}$ (6)

Hence:

$t=0.311 s$ (7)

<h2>b) Magnitude of the rocket's acceleration</h2>

Using equation (1), with initial height and velocity equal to zero:

$y=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ (8)

We will use $y=4.2 m$ :

$4.2 m=\frac{1}{2}a(0.311)^{2}$ (9)

Finding $a$ :

$a=86.847 m/s^{2}$ (10)

<h2>c) Height of the rocket 0.20 s after launch</h2>

Using again $y=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ but for $t=0.2 s$ :

$y=\frac{1}{2}(86.847 m/s^{2})(0.2 s)^{2}$ (11)

$y=1.736 m$ (12)

<h2>d) Speed of the rocket 0.20 s after launch</h2>

We will use equation (2) remembering the rocket startted from rest:

$V= at$ (13)

$V= (86.847 m/s^{2})(0.2 s)$ (14)

Finally:

$V=17.369 m/s$ (15)

How does moon appears to mov e across the night sky

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The moon moves because the earth rotates around its axis of rotation. Although the moon moves too around its orbit, the speed is too small to notice. In other words, the moon's position changes insignificantly, however, the earth rotates fast enough to notice.

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the theory of sine waves. The wavelength λ of a sinusoidal waveform traveling at constant speed v is given by

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$
