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.

Which statements describe the Mercalli scale? Check all that apply.
konstantin123 [22]
<h3><u>Full question:</u></h3>

Which statements describe the Mercalli scale? Check all that apply.

A. This scale measures seismic waves based on their size.

B. This scale rates an earthquake according to how much damage it causes.

C.This scale produces a single rating for earthquakes that reach the surface.

D. This scale uses Roman numerals to rank the damage caused by an earthquake.

E.This scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake based on the size of seismic waves.

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The Mercalli scale : This scale rates an earthquake according to how much damage it causes and This scale uses Roman numerals to rank the damage caused by an earthquake.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The Modified Mercalli scale is intended to illustrate the consequences of an earthquake, at a contracted station, on tangible characteristics, on modern fittings and human beings.

The Modified Mercalli Intensity value ascribed to a particular site subsequent an earthquake has an extra significant means of severity to the nonscientist than the magnitude because intensity assigns to the outcomes really encountered at that position. This scale is comprised of 12 growing levels of intensity, denoted by Roman numerals, arranging from gradual shaking to catastrophic impairment.

A Boeing 737 airliner has a mass of 20,000 kg and the total area of both wings (top or bottom) is 100 m2. What is the pressure d
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct option is A = 1960 N/m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass m= 20,000kg

Area A = 100m²

Pressure different between top and bottom

Assume the plane has reached a cruising altitude and is not changing elevation. Then sum the forces in the vertical direction is given as

∑Fy = Wp + FL = 0

where

Wp = is the weight of the plane, and

FL is the lift pushing up on the plane.

Let solve for FL since the mass of the plane is given:

Wp + FL = 0

FL = -Wp

FL = -mg

FL = -20,000× -9.81

FL = 196,200N

FL should be positive since it is opposing the weight of the plane.

Let Equate FL to the pressure differential multiplied by the area of the wings:

FL = (Pb −Pt)⋅A

where Pb and Pt are the static pressures on bottom and top of the wings, respectively

FL = ∆P • A

∆P = FL/A

∆P = 196,200 / 100

∆P = 1962 N/m²

∆P ≈ 1960 N/m²

The pressure difference between the top and bottom surface of each wing when the airplane is in flight at a constant altitude is approximately 1960 N/m². Option A is correct

no. energy is not created or destroyed, just transformed.

a hot light source is less efficient than a cold one ... heat is not light ...
