A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

44.64 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 4.2\times 1180+80.6^2}\\\Rightarrow v=128.01\ m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 128.01=80.6+4.2t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01-80.6}{4.2}=11.29\ s

<u>Time taken to reach 1180 m is 11.29 seconds</u>

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=128.01-9.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01}{9.8}=13.06\ s

<u>Time the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 13.06 seconds.</u>

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-128.01^2}{2\times -9.8}\\\Rightarrow s=836.05\ m

The distance the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 836.05 m

Total distance traveled by the rocket in the upward direction is 1180+836.05 = 2016.05 m

The rocket will fall from this height

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2016.05=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2016.05\times 2}{9.8}}\\\Rightarrow t=20.29\ s

<u>Time taken by the rocket to fall from maximum height is 20.29 seconds</u>

Time the rocket will stay in the air is 11.29+13.06+20.29 = 44.64 seconds

25.5 m/s in 5.75 s. What is the acceleration?
anzhelika [568]
Acceleration units are in m/s^2 , so you take 25.5 m/s divided by 5.75s. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity :)

50POINTS PLEASE HELP SPACE QUESTION
leonid [27]
Regardless of the time of year, the northern and southern hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. This is because during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit.
