Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.

A rocket is fired straight up. It contains two stages (Stage 1 and Stage 2) of solid rocket fuel that are designed to burn for 1
Archy [21]

Answer:

a)  y= 3.5 10³ m, b)   t = 64 s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use the vertical launch kinematics equation

Stage 1

          y₁ = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

          y₁ = 0 + 0 + ½ a₁ t²

Let's calculate

         y₁ = ½ 16 10²

         y₁ = 800 m

At the end of this stage it has a speed

        v₁ = vo + a₁ t₁

        v₁ = 0 + 16 10

        v₁ = 160 m / s

Stage 2

        y₂ = y₁ + v₁ (t-t₀) + ½ a₂ (t-t₀)²

        y₂ = 800 + 150 5 + ½ 11 5²

        y₂ = 1092.5 m

Speed ​​is

        v₂ = v₁ + a₂ t

        v₂ = 160 + 11 5

        v₂ = 215 m / s

The rocket continues to follow until the speed reaches zero (v₃ = 0)

         v₃² = v₂² - 2 g y₃

         0 = v₂² - 2g y₃

         y₃ = v₂² / 2g

         y₃ = 215²/2 9.8

         y₃ = 2358.4 m

The total height is

          y = y₃ + y₂

          y = 2358.4 + 1092.5

          y = 3450.9 m

           y= 3.5 10³ m

b) Flight time is the time to go up plus the time to go down

Let's look for the time of stage 3

          v₃ = v₂ - g t₃

          v₃ = 0

          t₃ = v₂ / g

          t₃ = 215 / 9.8

          t₃ = 21.94 s

The time to climb is

          t_{s} = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

          t_{s} = 10+ 5+ 21.94

          t_{s} = 36.94 s

The time to descend from the maximum height is

          y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

When it starts to slow down it's zero

         y = - ½ g t_{b}²

         t_{b}  = √-2y / g

         

        t_{b} = √(- 2 (-3450.9) /9.8)

        t_{b} = 26.54 s

Flight time is the rise time plus the descent date

        t = t_{s} + t_{b}

        t = 36.94 + 26.54

        t =63.84 s

        t = 64 s

If a 1-megaton nuclear weapon is exploded
Elenna [48]

Answer:

1,780,000 N

Explanation:

0.2 atm × (1.013×10⁵ Pa/atm) = 20,260 Pa

Force = pressure × area

F = 20,260 Pa × (3.89 m × 22.6 m)

F = 1,780,000 N
