A rocket sled for testing equipment under large accelerations starts at rest and accelerates according to the expression a = (3.

6 m/s 3 )t + (5.6 m/s 2 ). How far does the sled move in the time interval t = 0 to t = 1.6 s ? Answer in units of m.

Answer:

9.6 m

Explanation:

This is a case of motion under variable acceleration . So no law of motion formula will be applicable here. We shall have to integrate the given equation .

a = 3.6 t + 5.6

d²x / dt² = 3.6 t + 5.6

Integrating on both sides

dx /dt = 3.6 t² / 2 + 5.6 t + c

where c is a constant.

dx /dt = 1.8 t² + 5.6 t + c

when t = 0 , velocity dx /dt is zero

Putting these values in the equation above

0 = 0 +0 + c

c = 0

dx /dt = 1.8 t² + 5.6 t

Again integrating on both sides

x = 1.8 t³ / 3 + 5.6 x t² /2 + c₁

x = 0.6 t³ + 2.8 t² + c₁

when t =0, x = 0

c₁ = 0

x = 0.6 t³ + 2.8 t²

when t = 1.6

x = .6 x 1.6³ + 2.8 x 1.6²

= 2.4576 + 7.168

= 9.6256

9.6 m

How would you describe the motion of all three vehicles?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:In physics, motion is defined as a change in the position of a body with respect to a reference point. ... Think about the motion of three cars: one in the fast-moving carpool lane, another in the middle lane, and the third in the slow lane used to enter or exit the freeway.

What is the efficiency (w/qh) of an ideal carnot heat engine operating between a hot region at t= 400 k and a cold one at t= 300

Vinvika [58]

The efficiency of an ideal Carnot heat engine can be written as:
$\eta = 1- \frac{T_{cold}}{T_{hot}}$
where
$T_{cold}$ is the temperature of the cold region
$T_{hot}$ is the temperature of the hot region

For the engine in our problem, we have $T_{cold}=300 K$ and $T_{hot}=400 K$ , so the efficiency is
$\eta= 1 - \frac{300 K}{400 K}=0.25$

To win the game, a placekicker must kick a football from a point 44 m (48.1184 yd) from the goal, and the ball must clear the cr

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The distance by the ball clear the crossbar is 1.15 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 44 m

Speed = 24 m/s

Angle = 31°

Height = 3.05 m

We need to calculate the horizontal velocity

Using formula of horizontal velocity

$u_{x}=u\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$u_{x}=24\cos(31)$

$u_{x}=20.5\ m/s$

We need to calculate the vertical velocity

Using formula of vertical velocity

$u_{y}=u\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$u_{y}=24\sin(31)$

$u_{y}=12.3\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{u_{x}}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{44}{20.5}$

$t=2.1\ sec$

We need to calculate the vertical height

Using equation of motion

$h=u_{y}t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Put the value into the formula

$h=12.3\times2.1-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.1)^2$

$h=4.2\ m$

We need to calculate the distance by the ball clear the crossbar

Using formula for vertical distance

$d=h-3.05$

Put the value of h

$d=4.2-3.05$

$d=1.15\ m$

Hence, The distance by the ball clear the crossbar is 1.15 m

State characteristics of the images formed by pin - hole camera

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Real image

Explanation:

The picture is real, but it is reversed and tiny. An picture generated by a pinhole camera has certain features. As compared item, the image created by a pinhole camera is normally pretty small and looks reversed both on the vertically and horizontally axis.
