It rises till all of its Kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

so, mgh=(1/2)m(v^2)

so, h=(v^2)/2g = 12*12/(2*9.81)=7.34 m

A 7300 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.20 m/s2 and feels no appreci
Simora [160]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall first calculate the velocity at height h = 575 m .

acceleration a = 2.2 m /s²

v² = u² + 2 a s

u is initial velocity , v is final velocity , s is height achieved

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.2 x 575

v = 50.3 m /s

After 575 m , rocket moves under free fall so g will act on it downwards

If it travels further by height H

from the relation

v² = u² - 2 g H

v = 0 , u = 50.3 m /s

H = ?

0 = 50.3² - 2 x 9.8 H

H = 129.08 m

Total height attained by rocket

= 575 + 129.08

= 704.08 m .

A 125-kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.50 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1900-kg space capsule
ryzh [129]

(a) 0.165 m/s

The total initial momentum of the astronaut+capsule system is zero (assuming they are both at rest, if we use the reference frame of the capsule):

p_i = 0

The final total momentum is instead:

p_f = m_a v_a + m_c v_c

where

m_a = 125 kg is the mass of the astronaut

v_a = 2.50 m/s is the velocity of the astronaut

m_c = 1900 kg is the mass of the capsule

v_c is the velocity of the capsule

Since the total momentum must be conserved, we have

p_i = p_f = 0

so

m_a v_a + m_c v_c=0

Solving the equation for v_c, we find

v_c = - \frac{m_a v_a}{m_c}=-\frac{(125 kg)(2.50 m/s)}{1900 kg}=-0.165 m/s

(negative direction means opposite to the astronaut)

So, the change in speed of the capsule is 0.165 m/s.

(b) 520.8 N

We can calculate the average force exerted by the capsule on the man by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force and the time of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the astronaut:

F \Delta t = \Delta p

The change in momentum of the astronaut is

\Delta p= m\Delta v = (125 kg)(2.50 m/s)=312.5 kg m/s

And the duration of the push is

\Delta t = 0.600 s

So re-arranging the equation we find the average force exerted by the capsule on the astronaut:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{312.5 kg m/s}{0.600 s}=520.8 N

And according to Newton's third law, the astronaut exerts an equal and opposite force on the capsule.

(c) 25.9 J, 390.6 J

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass

v is the speed

For the astronaut, m = 125 kg and v = 2.50 m/s, so its kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}(125 kg)(2.50 m/s)^2=390.6 J

For the capsule, m = 1900 kg and v = 0.165 m/s, so its kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}(1900 kg)(0.165 m/s)^2=25.9 J

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Speed greater than 4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Ms. Kasper is in a panic. Her cat, Penny, is stuck in a tree and about to jump out. In order to save her cat, Ms. Kasper needs to run to the tree, 12 meters away. If it takes her cat, 3 seconds to fall, how fast would Ms. Kasper have to run to save her cat?

The distance = 12 m

Time = 3s

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 12/3

Speed = 4 m/s

Ms Kasper must run at speed more than 4m/s for her to save the cat.
