In a fireworks display, a rocket is launched from the ground with a speed of 18.0 m/s and a direction of 51.0° above the horizon

tal. During the flight, the rocket explodes into two pieces of equal mass. (a) What horizontal distance from the launch point will the center of mass of the two pieces be after both have landed on the ground? (b) If one piece lands a horizontal distance of 26.0 m from the launch point, where does the other piece land?

Answer:38.66 m

Explanation:

Given

launch angle \theta =51^{\circ}

launch velocity u=18 m/s

center of mass continue to travel its original Path so it center of mass will be at a distance of

R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

R=\frac{18^2\sin 102}{9.8}

R=32.33 m

Center of mass will be at x=32.33 m

(b)if one of the piece will be at x=26  m then other will be at

x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

x_{com}=\frac{\frac{m}{2}\cdot 26+\frac{m}{2}\cdot x_0}{\frac{m}{2}+\frac{m}{2}}

32.33=\frac{26+x_0}{2}

x_0=38.66 m

You need to know the height of a tower, butdarkness obscures the ceiling. You note thata pendulum extending from the ceiling alm
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The towers height is 322m  

Explanation:

We can assume that a simple pendulum hangs from the top of the tower.  

In this case, the length of the pendulum will be the same as the height of the tower.

We will use the next expression then:

T=(2pi)(\sqrt{L/g})

Where T is the period, L is the pendulum length and g is the gravity (9.81m/s^2)

From the previous expression we will have then that the length will be:

L=(g)*((T/2pi)^2)

Replacing:

L=(9.81m/s^2)*((36s/2pi)^2)

The towers height will be then: 322m

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
aalyn [17]

Answer:

4.56 s

Explanation:

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. Since prior to this they are traveling at constant speed, they would have maintained a distance of 52 m before accelerating.

The distance traveled by the car, with respect the motorcycle position when it start accelerating is

s_c = s_0 + v_ct = 52 + 19t

The distance traveled by the motorcycle after accelerating, with respect the motorcycle position when it start accelerating is

s_m = v_mt + at^2/2 = 19t + 5t^2/2

When the motorcycle catches up to the car, their position are at the same

s_c = s_m

52 + 19t = 19t + 5t^2/2

52 = 5t^2/2

t^2 = 20.8

t = \sqrt{20.8} = 4.56 s

Answer:

12N to the right.

Explanation:

There is a force of 12N upwards and a force of 12N downwards: these cancel out.

Assign a negative value to forces towards the left, and a positive value to the forces towards the right: -3N and +15N

Combine them: -3N+15N = 12N

The net force has a magnitude of 12N, and since our answer was positive, it acts towards the right.

C.) cool feet walking across a hot pavement.



The reason because the other ones deals with radiation. Only C.) is the right answer because the feet is touching the hot pavement which is conduction.
