An experimental rocket designed to land upright falls freely from a height of 2.59 102 m, starting at rest. At a height of 86.9

m, the rocket's engines start and provide constant upward acceleration until the rocket lands. What acceleration is required if the speed on touchdown is to be zero?'

Answer:

The acceleration required by the rocket in order to have a zero speed on touchdown is 19.96m/s²

The rocket's motion for analysis sake is divided into two phases.

Phase 1: the free fall motion of the rocket from the height 2.59*102m to a height 86.9m

Phase 2: the motion of the rocket due to the acceleration of the rocket also from the height 86.9m to the point of touchdown y = 0m.

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the rocket is 0m/s when it started falling from rest under free fall. g = 9.8m/s² t1 is the time taken for phase 1 and t2 is the time taken for phase2.

The final velocity under free fall becomes the initial velocity for the accelerated motion of the rocket in phase 2 and the final velocity or speed in phase 2 is equal to zero.

The detailed step by step solution to the problems can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you and I hope this solution is helpful to you. Good luck.

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. the waves move at 56 km/h and have a wavelength of 160 m, bot
Lera25 [3.4K]
The wavelength \lambda of the wave is 160 m, and this is the distance between two consecutive crests. The boat is located at a crest of the wave, this means that the first trough is located 80 meters from the boat (because the distance between a crest and a trough is half the wavelength).

The speed of the wave is 
v=56 km/h = 15.6 m/s
so the time the boat takes to reach the first trough is
t= \frac{S}{v} = \frac{80 m}{15.6 m/s}=5.1 s

suppose that 273 g of one of the substances listed above displaces 26 mL of water. What is the substance?
guajiro [1.7K]
<span>The unknown substance is silver. I don't see a list of available substances, but let's see if there's something reasonable available that will match. First, let's calculate the density of the unknown substance. Density is mass per volume, so 273 g / 26 mL = 10.5 g/mL Looking up a list of elements sorted by density, I see the following: 10.07 Actinium 10.22 Molybdenum 10.5 Silver 11.35 Lead And silver at 10.5 g/ml is a very nice match for the unknown substances' density of 10.5 g/ml.</span>

What part of the plant transports water from the roots to the leaves?
shusha [124]
<span><span>1.       </span>Question : What part of the plant that transport water from its root to its leaves.
The answer is the stem. The stem connects the plant’s root and leaves, it is responsible for transporting water that is absorbed by the root going to the leaves, it is also responsible for transporting nutrients absorbed with the leaves coming from the sun or any nutrients going to the roots to make is grow faster and healthy. Stem is the one that connects leaves and root and the one the does the transporting job.</span>
