A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.6 m/s at ground level.

The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 4.10 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1190 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of −9.80 m/s2. (You will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately.) (a) For what time interval is the rocket in motion above the ground

Answer:

The rocket is motion above the ground for 44.7 s.

Explanation:

The equations for the height of the rocket are as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

and, after the engine fails:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the rocket at time t

y0 =  initial height

v0 = initial speed

t=  time

a = acceleration due to the engines

g = acceleration due to gravity

First, let´s calculate the time the rocket is being accelerated by the engines:

(The center of the framer of reference is located at the ground, y0 = 0).

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

1190 m = 0 m + 79.6 m/s · t + 1/2 · 4.10 m/s² · t²

0 = 2.05  m/s² · t² + 79.6 m/s · t - 1190 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 11.5 s  (the other value of t is discarded because it is negative).

At that time, the engines fail and the rocket starts to fall. The equation of the height will be:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

The initial velocity (v0) will be the velocity acquired during 11.5 s of acceleration plus the initial velocity of launch:

v = v0 + a · t

v = 79.6 m/s + 4.10 m/s² · 11.5 s

v = 126.8 m/s

Now, we can calculate the time it takes the rocket to reach the ground (y = 0) from a height of 1190 m:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 m = 1190 m + 126.8 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.80 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 33.2 s

Then, the total time the rocket is in motion is (33.2 s + 11.5 s) 44.7 s

Answer:

a)  order of refraction is a, e, de, c , c) a f g

Explanation:

a) when lightning is refracted it must comply with the law of refraction

          .n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

          sin θ / sin δδa) when lightning is refracted it must comply with the law of refraction

          .n1 sin θ₁ = n2 sin θ ₂

          Sint θ1 / sin θ2 = n2 / n1

1 we see that the ray deviation is promotional to the ratio of the refractive indices

The order of refraction is a, e, de, c

.b) When a ray passes from a medium with less indicated refraction to a higher index the part of the reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

a) no phase change

b) reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

c) no phase change

d) no phase change

e) there is a phase change

f) these phase changeo

In 10 seconds a car accelerates 4/ms to 60m/s. how fast was the car going before it accelerated?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Well it seems like this problem gives you what you need.  You said the car was going 4m/s and then accelerated to 60m/s... so 4m/s would be your answer for the initial velocity

In Ampere's law, ∮????⃗∙????????⃗=????0???? the direction of the integration around the path:
kupik [55]

Answer:

C) must be such as to follow the magnetic field lines.

Explanation:

Ampere's circuital law helps us to calculate magnetic field due to a current carrying conductor. Magnetic field due to a current forms closed loop around the current . If a  net current of value I creates a magnetic field B around it , the line integral of magnetic field around a closed path becomes equal to μ₀ times the net current . It is Ampere's circuital law . There may be more than one current passing through the area enclosed by closed curve . In that case we will take net current by adding or subtracting them according to their direction.

It is expressed as follows

∫ B.dl = μ₀ I . Here integration is carried over closed path . It may not be circular in shape. The limit of this integration must follow magnetic field lines.

the term ∫ B.dl is called line integral of magnetic field.
