A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.0 m/s at ground level.

The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates up- ward at 4.00 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1 000 m. At that point, its engines fail and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of 29.80 m/s2. (a) For what time inter- val is the rocket in motion above the ground?

Answer:

There is an interval of 24.28s in which the rocket is above the ground.

Explanation:

y_{i}=0m

v_i=80\frac{m}{s}

a=4\frac{m}{s^2}

y_{e}=1000m

g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}

From Kinematics, the position y as a function of time when the engine still works will be:

y(t)=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2

At what time the altitud will be y_{e}=1000m?

v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2=y_{e} ⇒ \frac{1}{2}at^2+v_it-y_{e}=0

Using the quadratic formula: t_1=10s.

How much time does it take for the rocket to touch the ground? No the function of position is:

y(t)=y_{e}+v_et-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where our new initial position is y_{max}, the velocity when the engine breaks is v_e=v_i+at=120\frac{m}{s} and the only acceleration comes from gravity (which points down).

Now, when the rocket tounches the ground:

y_{e}+v_et-\frac{1}{2}gt^2=0

Again, using the quadratic ecuation:

t_2=24.49s

Now, the total time from the moment it takes off and the moment it tounches the ground will be:

t_T=t_1+t_2=34.49s.

Is glass weigh more than wood
inn [45]
It depends how large the object is. But, if it is 2 by 4, most likely the wood sieges more than the glass. Hope this helps.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

1472.98 m

Explanation:

Data provided:

Speed of circular looping, v = 340 m/s

Acceleration, a = 8g

here,

g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Now,

the centripetal acceleration is given as,

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

r is the radius of the loop

on substituting the respective values, we get

8\times9.81=\frac{340^2}{r}

or

r = 1472.98 m

Interest groups representing businesses and investors are often among the most successful lobbying groups in foreign policy. Why
alisha [4.7K]

The members of these groups make up the majority of voters in many districts thus this  be considered a problem.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Interest groups play a key role in US politics. Such organizations are made up of wealthy and powerful members who often seek to impose some form of leverage in politicians to promote their goals and agendas. Across the years via many campaigns, they have understood how to speak and manipulate elected leaders and apply leverage to get the kind of legislation that is in their favor. Here the majority of voters in several districts are standing due to group members, as we recognize the interest group belongs to a body in which it uses different methods of lobbying to influence others.

Mariulka [41]
<h3><u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u></h3>

  • A certain circuit is composed of two series resistors
  • The total resistance is 10 ohms
  • One of the resistor is 4 ohms

<h3><u>To </u><u>Find </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • We have to find the value of other resistor?

<h3><u>Let's </u><u>Begin </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

We know that,

In series combination,

  • When a number of resistances are connected in series, the equivalent I.e resultant resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances and is greater than any individual resistance

<u>That </u><u>is</u><u>, </u>

Rn in series = R1 + R2 + R3.....So on

<u>Therefore</u><u>, </u>

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>question</u><u>, </u>

We have,

R1 + R2 = 10 Ω

4 + R2 = 10Ω

R2 = 10 - 4

R2 = 6Ω

Hence, The value of R2 resistor in series is 6Ω
