A rocket carrying a satellite is accelerating straight up from the earth’s surface. At 1.15 s after liftoff, the rocket clears t

he top of its launch platform, 63 m above the ground. After an additional 4.75 s, it is 1.00 km above the ground. Calculate the magnitude of the average velocity of the rocket for (a) the 4.75-s part of its flight and (b) the first 5.90 s of its flight.

Answer:

197.263157895 m/s

169.491525424 m/s

Explanation:

x Denotes position

t Denotes time

Average velocity is given by

v_a=\dfrac{x_2-x_1}{t_2}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\dfrac{1000-63}{4.75}\\\Rightarrow v_a=197.263157895\ m/s

The average velocity is 197.263157895 m/s

v_a=\dfrac{x_2-x_1}{t_2}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\dfrac{1000-0}{5.9}\\\Rightarrow v_a=169.491525424\ m/s

The average velocity is 169.491525424 m/s

a microwave uses a 14 a of electricity if 120 v is run through it what is the resistance of the microwave
Airida [17]
Resistance = voltage / current.

That's. 120v / 14A = 8.57 ohms.

By the way, voltage doesn't "run through" anything. Current does. That would be the 14 Amps.

A particle has ~r(0) = (4 m) ˆ and ~v(0) = (2 m/s)ˆı. If its acceleration is constant and given by ~a = −(2 m/s 2 ) (ˆı +ˆ), a
Troyanec [42]

The particle has \vec r(0)=(4\,\mathrm m)\,\vec\imath and \vec v(0)=\left(2\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\imath, and is undergoing a constant acceleration of \vec a=-\left(2\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(\vec\imath+\vec\jmath).

This means its position at time t is given by the vector function,

\vec r(t)=\vec r(0)+\vec v(0)t+\dfrac12\vec a t^2

\implies\vec r(t)=\left[4\,\mathrm m+\left(2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\left(1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\right]\,\vec\imath-\left(1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\,\vec\jmath

The particle crosses the x-axis when the \vec\imath component is 0 for some time t>0, so we solve:

4+2t-t^2=0\implies t^2-2t+1=5

\implies(t-1)^2=5

\implies t-1=\pm\sqrt5

\implies t=1\pm\sqrt5

The negative square root introduces a negative solution that we throw out, leaving us with \boxed{t=1+\sqrt5} or about 3.24 seconds after it starts moving.

The resistance of an electric heater is 50 Ω when connected to 120 V. How much energy does it use during 15 min of operation?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

I = V/R = 120 V/ 50 Ω = 2.4 A

P = VI = 120(2.4) = 288 W = 288 J/s

288 J/s (15 min(60s / min)) = 259,200 J

or the electric company would charge for

288 W / (1000 W/kW)•(15/60) hr = 0.072 kW•hr

At $0.20 / kW•hr, that would be under 1½ cents
