In the first tenth of a second in a collision, the vehicle and everything inside is going in different directions. This is because the initial reaction in a collision is for the objects to go into different directions which can be explained by Newton's third law.

A rocket is launched from a height of 3 m with an initial velocity of 15 m/s What is the maximum height of the rocket? When will

Fudgin [204]

If no extra acceleration is added to the rocket, then its velocity at time t is

v = 15 m/s - g t

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

Also, recall that

v² - u² = 2 a ∆x

where u is initial speed, v is final speed, a is acceleration, and ∆x is net displacement.

At the rocket's maximum height ∆x, the velocity is 0. So, the maximum height is

0² - (15 m/s)² = 2 (-g) ∆x

∆x = (15 m/s)² / (2 * (9.80 m/s²)) ≈ 11.48 m

But this assumes the rocket is launched from the ground. We're given that the rocket is launced from 3 m above the ground, so we need to add this to the height above. So the maximum height is closer to 14.48 m.

As mentioned before, this happens when vertical velocity is 0:

0 = 15 m/s - g t

t = (15 m/s) / (9.80 m/s²) ≈ 1.53 s

An astronaut has a mass of 50.0 kg on earth. what is her mass on the moon, where gravity is 1 6 that on earth?

never [62]

I believe the correct gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth. Take note there is a difference between 1 6 and 1/6.

HOWEVER, we should realize that the trick here is that the question asks about the MASS of the astronaut and not his weight. Mass is an inherent property of an object, it is unaffected by external factors such as gravity. What will change as the astronaut moves from Earth to the moon is his weight, which has the formula: weight = mass times gravity.

Therefore if he has a mass of 50 kg on Earth, then he will also have a mass of 50 kg on moon.

Answer:

The break even cost is $0.0063825

Explanation:

Break-even cost is the amount of money, or change in value, which equates to the amount at which an asset must be sold to equal the cost of acquiring it. For easier understanding it can be thought the amount of money for which a product or service must be sold to cover the costs of manufacturing or providing it.

Wattage = W

Cost per kilo watt hour = C

Number of hours per year = H

Price per bulb/CFL = P

Discount rate = 11%

Life of bulb = 2 years

Price of bulb = $0.39

Wattage consumption of bulb per hours = 60

Life of CFL = 24 years

Price of CFL = $3.10

Wattage consumption of CFL per hour = 15

Calculate the Equated Annual Cost (EAC) of bulb

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 2years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 2years)

PVIFA 11%, 2years = Annuity PV Factor = [1 – {(1 + r)^(-n)}]/r, where r is the rate per period and n is the number per periods

PVIFA 11%, 2 years = [1 – {(1 + 0.11)^(-2)}]/0.11 = 1.712523 (for 2 years)

PVIFA 11%, 24 years = [1 – {(1 + 0.11)^(-24)}]/0.11 = 8.348136 (for 2 years)

Calculate the EAC of bulb

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 2 years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 2 years)

EAC = {- 0.39 - (60/1000 x H x C) x (1.712523)}/ (1.712523)

EAC = {-0.39 – (51.37570 x C)}/ 1.712523, consider this equation 1

Calculate the EAC of CFL

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 24 years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 24 years)

EAC = {- 3.10 - (15/1000 x 500 x C) x (8.348136)}/ (8.348136)

EAC = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C)}/8.348137, consider this equation 2

Equate 1 and 2 to find the amount of C

{-0.39 – (51.37570 x C)}/ 1.712523 = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C)}/8.348137

{-0.39 – (51.37570 x C) x 8.348137} = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C) x 1.712523}

C = $0.0063825

Thus, the break- even cost per kilo – watt is $0.0063825

A spherical soap bubble with a surface-tension of 0.005 lbf/ft is expanded from a diameter of 0.5 in to 3.0 in. How much work, i

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:W = 1.23×10^-6BTU

Explanation: Work = Surface tension × (A1 - A2)

W= Surface tension × 3.142 ×(D1^2 - D2^2)

Where A1= Initial surface area

A2= final surface area

Given:

D1=0.5 inches , D2= 3 inches

D1= 0.5 × (1ft/12inches)

D1= 0.0417 ft

D2= 3 ×(1ft/12inches)

D2= 0.25ft

Surface tension = 0.005lb ft^-1

W = [(0.25)^2 - (0.0417)^2]

W = 954 ×10^6lbf ft × ( 1BTU/778lbf ft)

W = 1.23×10^-6BTU
