A 600 g model rocket is on a cart that is rolling to the right at a speed of 2.5 m/s. The rocket engine, when it is fired, exert
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 8.43 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the rocket, m = 600 g = 0.6 kg

Speed of riling, v = 2.5 m/s

F = mg, where

F = weight of the rocket in N

m = mass of the rocket in kg

g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

F = 0.6 * 9.8

F = 5.88 N

Since the the vertical thrust on the rocket is 8 N and 5.88 N of it will be used to counter the rockets weight. Thus, the remaining 2.12 N is what is available to provide acceleration.

Upward acceleration of the rocket is..... F = ma, a = F / m

a = 2.12 / 0.6

a = 3.53 m/s²

using equation of motion, we will calculate how long it will take to rise 20 m in the air

S = ut + 1/2at², where u = 0

20 = 1/2 * 3.53 * t²

t² = 4. / 3.53

t² = 11.33

t = √11.33 = 3.37 s

The distance then is

v = Δx / t, such that

Δx = v * t

Δx = 2.5 * 3.37

Δx = 8.43 m

Which statement describes one feature of a closed circuit? Charges do not flow. Bulbs will not shine. The circuit is broken. The
Novay_Z [31]

I inferred you've referring to a close electrical circuit.

Answer:

The circuit is complete.

Explanation:

A closed electrical circuit is indeed a complete circuit. Also, it allows charges to flow, the bulbs in the circuit will shine and it is not broken.

It is termed closed circuit because there is no brokage in the series of electrical wires or the switch; which may prevent the free flow of current or charges. Thus, a feature that marks closed circuits is that they are complete.

An asteroid is discovered in a nearly circular orbit around the Sun, with an orbital radius that is 3.570 times Earth's. What is
inysia [295]

Explanation:

Given:

r_a = 3.570R_E

R_E = 1.499×10^{11}\:\text{m}

M_S = 1.989×10^{30}\:\text{kg}

G = 6.674×10^{-11}\:\text{N-m}^2\text{/kg}^2

Let m_s= mass of the asteroid and r_a = orbital radius of the asteroid around the sun. The centripetal force F_c is equal to the gravitational force F_G:

F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m_a\dfrac{v_a^2}{r_a} = G\dfrac{m_aM_S}{r_a^2}

or

\dfrac{4\pi^2 r_a}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M_S}{r_a^2}

where

v = \dfrac{2\pi r_a}{T}

with T = period of orbit. Rearranging the variables, we get

T^2 = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r_a^3}{GM_S}

Taking the square root,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{r_a^3}{GM_S}}

\:\:\:\:=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{(3.57(1.499×10^{11}\:\text{m}))^3}{(6.674×10^{-11}\:\text{N-m}^2\text{/kg}^2)(1.989×10^{30}\:\text{kg})}}

\:\:\:\:= 2.13×10^8\:\text{s} = 6.75\:\text{years}

Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>While modern humans first evolved approximately 200,000 years ago,
the age of the Earth, the Sun, and the rest of the solar system is believed
to be approximately 4.6 billion years.

That makes the Earth, the Sun, and the rest of the solar system
something like  23 thousand times  as old as the human species !

A wave has a frequency of 775 Hz. What is its period?
Leto [7]

The period is simply the inverse of the frequency, therefore:

T = 1 / f

T = 1 / 775 Hz

T = 0.001290 s    → possible answer

T = 1.29 × 10⁻³ s   → possible answer

T = 1.29 ms          → possible answer
