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

True or false? All waves need a medium in order to travel
Art [367]
That's false.  Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.

A 12-kg piece of metal displaces 1.6 L of water when submerged. Part A Find its density. Express your answer to two significant
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

ρ = 7500 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 12 kg

Displace volume ,V= 1.6 L

We know that

1000 m ³ = 1 L

Therefore V= 0.0016 m ³

When metal piece is fully submerged

We know that

mass = Density x volume

m=\rho \times V

Now by putting the values in the above equation

\rho=\dfrac{12}{0.0016}\ kg/m^3

ρ = 7500 kg/m³

Therefore the density of the metal piece will be  7500 kg/m³.

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

An ice skater spins at 2.5 rev/s when his arms are extended. He draws his arms in and spins at 10.0 rev/s. By what factor does h
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4
