Suppose that you toss a rock upward so that it rises and then falls back to the earth. If the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8

m/sec2,
what is the rock’s acceleration at the instant that it reaches the top of its trajectory (where its velocity is momentarily zero)?
Assume that air resistance is negligible.

A)The acceleration of the rock is zero.
B)The rock has an upward acceleration of 19.6 m/s2.
C)The rock has a downward acceleration of 19.6 m/s2.
D)The rock has a downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.
E)The rock has an upward acceleration of 9.8 m/s2.

A large rocket has a mass of 2.00×10⁶ kg at takeoff, and its engines produce a thrust of 3.50×10⁷ N. Find its initial accelerati
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

17.5 m/s²

1.90476 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.5\times 10^7}{2\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow a=17.5\ m/s^2

Initial acceleration of the rocket is 17.5 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow \frac{120}{3.6}=0+17.5t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{\frac{120}{3.6}}{17.5}=1.90476\ s

Time taken by the rocket to reach 120 km/h is 1.90476 seconds

Change in the velocity of a rocket is given by the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation

\Delta v=v_{e}\ln \frac{m_0}{m_f}

where,

m_0 = Initial mass of rocket with fuel

m_f = Final mass of rocket without fuel

v_e = Exhaust gas velocity

Hence, the change in velocity increases as the mass decreases which changes the acceleration

If
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

A factor of 2*4 = 8

Explanation:

F_g = (G*m1*m2)/r^2  

where m1 and m2 are the two masses, G is Newton's gravitational constant, and r is the distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

So, if you double m1 and quadruple m2:

m1' = 2*m1

m2' = 4*m2

Then F_g' = (G*m1'*m2')/r^2 = (G*2*m1*4*m2)/r^2 = 8*(G*m1*m2)/r^2 = 8*F_g
