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

If a device uses 280 watts of power a day, about how many kilowatt-hours will it use in 30 days?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:C

Explanation:

Power=280watts=280/1000 kilowatts

Power=0.28 kilowatts

Device use 0.28 kilowatts in 1 day

1day=24hours

Device use 0.28 kilowatts in 24hours

30days=30 x 24=720 hours

For 720 hours=(0.28x720) ➗ 24

For 720 hours=201.6 ➗ 24

For 720 hours=8.4

Pls help in these 2 questions
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Taking forces along the plane

F cos θ - M g sin θ -100 = M a       net of forces along the plane

F = (M a + M g * .5 + 100) / .866     solving for F

F = (80 * 1.5 + 80 * 9.8 * .5 + 100) / .866 = 707 N

F = 707 N acting along the plane

Fn = F sin θ + M g cos θ       forces acting perpendicular to plane

Fn = 707 * 1/2 + 80 * 9.8 * .866 = 1030 Newtons   forces normal to plane

(this would give a coefficient of friction of 100 / 1030 = .097 = Fn)

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
noname [10]

Question:

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

Answer:

The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³

Explanation:

Here, we have mass density of cloud  =  2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density =   If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have

28 kg water = 28000 g

Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.
