In the question where as a model rocket is launched straight upward with an initial speed of 50.0m/s and it accelerate with a constant acceleration of 2m/s^2 until it engines stop at an altitude od 150. So the following are the answer to your question:
a.The motion, the acceleration was equals to Zero
b.the maximum height is 150m

Answer:

Part a)

the rocket will decelerate due to gravity and its speed will start decreasing after that

Part b)

H = 308 m

Part c)

T = 8.5 s

Part d)

T = 16.4 s

Explanation:

Part a)

When Engine stops then the acceleration of the rocket is only due to gravity

So the rocket will decelerate due to gravity and its speed will start decreasing after that

Part b)

final speed of the rocket just before its engine is stopped is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 50^2 = 2(2)(150)

v_f = 55.67 m/s

now after this rocket will move under gravity

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2a d

0 - 55.67^2 = 2(-9.81)d

d = 158 m

so maximum height from ground is given as

H = 150 + 158 = 308 m

Part c)

Time taken by the rocket to reach 150 m height is given as

v_f = v_i + at

55.67 = 50 + 2t_1

t_1 = 2.835 s

Now after this time to reach the maximum height is given as

0 - 55.67 = -9.81(t_2)

t_2 = 5.67 s

total time is given as

T = 2.835 + 5.67 = 8.5 s

Part d)

Time taken by the rocket to drop back on the surface is given as

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

308 = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2

t = 7.92 s

so total time in air

T = 7.92 + 8.5 = 16.4 s

What is the reflectivity of a glass surface (n =1.5) in air (n = 1) at an 45° for (a) S-polarized light and (b) P-polarized ligh
Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) R_s = 0.092

b) R_p = 0.085

Explanation:

given,

n =1.5 for glass surface

n = 1 for air

incidence angle = 45°

using Fresnel equation of reflectivity of S and P polarized light

R_s=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_i-n_2cos\theta_t}{n_1cos\theta_i+n_2cos\theta_t} \right |^2\\R_p=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_t-n_2cos\theta_i}{n_1cos\theta_t+n_2cos\theta_i} \right |^2

using snell's law to calculate θ t

sin \theta_t = \dfrac{n_1sin\theta_i}{n_2}=\dfrac{sin45^0}{1.5}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{3}

cos \theta_t =\sqrt{1-sin^2\theta_t} = \dfrac{sqrt{7}}{3}

a) R_s=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\dfrac{1.5\sqrt{7}}{3}} \right |^2

R_s = 0.092

b) R_p=\left | \dfrac{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}-\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}}{\dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{3}+\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{2}}} \right |^2

R_p = 0.085

Half Time At 3:00 the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock point in directions that are 90.0
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

3 : 08 : 10.9

Explanation:

assuming a 12 hour clock

angular velocity of the hour hand is 2π/(3600(12)) rad/s

angular velocity of the minute hand is 2π/3600 rad/s

difference is 2π/3600 - 2π/(3600(12)) = 11(2π/(3600(12)) rad/s

45° = π/4 radians

This angle is covered in a time of

π/4 rad / 22π / (3600(12)) = 900(12) / 22 = 490.909090... s

or about 8 minutes 10.9 s

Help me plzzz?? I need help it on the picture
madam [21]

No. 
The acceleration of gravity on or near Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s² ,
not 20 m/s² .

If it were 20 m/s², then you would weigh almost exactly double
what you really weigh now.
