A rocket's acceleration is 6.0 m/s2. Assuming it starts at 0 m/s, how long will it take for the rocket to reach a velocity of 42
elena-s [515]
You said "<span>A rocket's acceleration is 6.0 m/s2.".

That just means that its speed increases by 6 m/s every second.
Whenever you look at it, its speed is 6 m/s faster than it was
one second earlier.

If it starts out with zero speed, then its speed is 6 m/s after 1 second,
12 m/s after 2 seconds, 18 m/s after 3 seconds . . . etc.

How long does it take to reach 42 m/s ?

Well, how many times does it have to go 6 m/s FASTER 
in order to build up to 42 m/s ?

That's just (42/6) = 7 times.

Writing it correctly, with the units and everything, it looks like this:


(42 m/s) / (6 m/s</span>²)

= (42/6)  (m/s) / (m/s²)

= (42/6)  (m/s · s²/m)

=  7 seconds

You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

0.4778 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will make use of law of conservation of momentum.

We are given that the rock's velocity is 12 m/s at 35°. Thus, the horizontal component of this velocity is;

V_x = (12 m/s)(cos(35°)) = 9.83 m/s.

Thus, the horizontal component of the rock's momentum is;

(3.5 kg)(9.83 m/s) = 34.405 kg·m/s.

Since the person is not pushed up off the ice or down into it, his momentum will have no vertical component and so his momentum will have the same magnitude as the horizontal component of the rock's momentum.

Thus, to get the person's speed, we know that; momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of person = 72 kg and we have momentum as 34.405 kg·m/s

Thus;

34.405 = 72 x velocity

Velocity = 34.405/72

Velocity = 0.4778 m/s
