a rocket is launched with a constant acceleration straight up. exactly 4.00 seconds after lift off, a bolt falls off the side of

the rocket and hits the ground 6.00 seconds later. what was the rockets acceleration?

The initial speed of the bolt is not 58.86 m/s.  

Let a be the acceleration of the rocket.  

During the 4 sec lift off, the rocket has reached a height of  

h = (1/2)*a*t^2  

with t=4,  

h = (1/2)*a^16  

h = 8*a  

Its velocity at 4 sec is  

v = t*a  

v = 4*a  

The initial velocity of the bolt is thus 4*a.  

During the 6 sec fall, the bolt has the initial velocity V0=-4*a and it drops a total height of h=8*a. From the equation of motion,  

h = (1/2)*g*t^2 + V0*t  

Substituting h0=8*a, t=6 and V0=-4*a into it,  

8*a = (1/2)*g*36 - 4*a*6  

Solving for a  

a = 5.52 m/s^2

A ball moving at positive 3.0 m per s along a table rolls off a table and lands on the ground 2.0 m away. How high was the table
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v₀ = initial velocity in horizontal direction as the ball rolls off the table = 3.0 m/s

X = horizontal displacement of the ball = 2.0 m

a = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²

t = time taken to land = ?

using the kinematics equation

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

2.0 = 3.0 t + (0.5) (0) t²

t = 2/3


consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction

v₀ = initial velocity in vertical direction as the ball rolls off the table = 0 m/s

Y = vertical displacement of the ball = height of the table = h

a = acceleration along the vertical direction = 9.8 m/s²

t = time taken to land = 2/3

using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = 0 t + (0.5) (9.8) (2/3)²

h = 2.2 m


C 2.2 m

The pitch of a note corresponds to which property of sound wave
Ksivusya [100]
A high pitch sound corresponds to a high-frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low-frequency sound wave. So, the pitch of a note corresponds to the amount of frequency of a sound wave. Hope this helped!

Find the gravitational potential energy of an 84 kg person standing atop Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m. Use sea level as
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

E=7.28\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a person, m = 84 kg

The person is standing at a top of Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the person. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to the position of an object. It is given by :

E = mgh, g is the acceleration due to gravity

E=84\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 8848\ m\\\\E=7283673.6\ J\\\\E=7.28\times 10^6\ J

So, the gravitational potential energy of the person is 7.28\times 10^6\ J
