Classes are canceled due to snow, so you take advantage of the extra time to conduct some physics experiments. You fasten a larg

e toy rocket to the back of a sled and take the modified sled to a large, flat, snowy field. You ignite the rocket and observe that the sled accelerates from rest in the forward direction at a rate of 14.5 m/s2 for a time period of 3.10 s. After this time period, the rocket engine abruptly shuts off, and the sled subsequently undergoes a constant backward acceleration due to friction of 5.65 m/s2.
After the rocket turns off, how much time does it take for the sled to come to a stop?time: ____sBy the time the sled finally comes to a rest, how far has it traveled from its starting point?distance traveled: ____m

Answer:

Time : <u>7.96 s</u>

Distance Traveled : <u>357.8 m</u>  

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we first consider the accelerated motion of rocket. We will be using the subscript 1 for accelerated motion.

So, for accelerated motion, we have:

Acceleration = a₁ = 14.5 m/s²

Time Period = t₁ = 3.1 s

Initial Velocity = Vi₁ = 0 m/s    (Since, it starts from rest)

Final Velocity = Vf₁

Distance covered by sled during acceleration motion = s₁

Now, using 1st equation of motion:

Vf₁ = Vi₁ + (a₁)(t₁)

Vf₁ = 0 m/s + (14.5 m/s²)(3.1 s)

Vf₁ = 44.95 m/s

Now, using 2nd equation of motion:

s₁ = (Vi₁)(t) + (0.5)(a₁)(t₁)

s₁ = (0 m/s)(3.1 s) + (0.5)(14.5 m/s²)(3.1 s)

s₁ = 22.5 m

Now, we first consider the decelerated motion of rocket. We will be using the subscript 2 for decelerated motion.

So, for accelerated motion, we have:

Deceleration = a₂ = - 5.65 m/s²

Time Period = t₂ = ?

Initial Velocity = Vi₂ = Vf₁ = 44.95 m/s    (Since, decelerate motion starts, where accelerated motion ends)

Final Velocity = Vf₂ = 0 m/s    (Since, rocket will eventually stop)

Distance covered by sled during deceleration motion = s₂

Now, using 1st equation of motion:

Vf₂ = Vi₂ + (a₂)(t₂)

0 m/s = 44.95 m/s + (- 5.65 m/s²)(t₂)

t₂ = (44.95 m/s)/(5.65 m/s²)

<u>t₂ = 7.96 s</u>

Now, using 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = (Vi₂)(t₂) + (0.5)(a₂)(t₂)

s₂ = (44.95 m/s)(7.96 s) + (0.5)(- 5.65 m/s²)(7.96 s)

s₂ = 357.8 m - 22.5 m

s₂ = 335.3 m

Thus, the total distance covered by sled will be:

Total Dustance = S = s₁ + s₂

S = 22.5 m + 335.3 m

<u>S = 357.8 m</u>

If a car crashes into another car like this, the wreck should go nowhere. Besides this being an unrealistic question, the physics of it would look like this:

Momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

Momentum before the collision:
p = m * v = 50000kg * 24m/s + 55000kg * 0m/s = 50000kg * 24m/s
Momentum after the collision:
p = m * v = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Setting both momenta equal:
50000kg * 24m/s = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Solving for the velocity v:
v = 50000kg * 24m/s/(50000kg + 55000kg) = 11,43m/s

A parallel-plate capacitor is made from two aluminum-foil sheets, each 3.0 cm wide and 5.00 m long. Between the sheets is a mica
Evgen [1.6K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A parallel-plate capacitor is made from two aluminum-foil sheets, each 3.0 cm wide and 5.00 m long. Between the sheets is a mica strip of the same width and length that is 0.0225 mm thick. What is the maximum charge?

(The dielectric constant of mica is 5.4, and its dielectric strength is 1.00×10⁸ V/m)

Answer: the maximum charge q is 716.85 μF

Explanation:

Given data;

with = 3.0 cm = 0.03

breathe = 5.0 m

Area = 0.03 × 5 = 0.15 m²

dielectric strength E = 1.00 × 10⁸

∈₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹²

constant K = 5.4

maximum charge = ?

the capacitor C = KA∈₀ / d

q = cv so c = q/v

now

q/v = KA∈₀ / d

q =  vKA∈₀/d = EKA∈₀

we substitute

q = (1.00 × 10⁸) × 5.4 × 0.15 ×  8.85 × 10⁻¹²    

q = 716.85 × 10⁻⁶ F

q = 716.85 μF

the maximum charge q is 716.85 μF

An object is held at rest and allowed to drop How far does the object fall in 3.3 seconds?
IgorC [24]
After x seconds, an object will fall \frac{1}{2}at^2 where a is acceleration due to gravity and t is time

so when t=3.3
the distance it will fall is (\frac{1}{2})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(3.3m)^2=53.361m
it will fal 53.361 meters

Calculate the work done by the cyclist when his power output is 200 W for 1800 seconds.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

3.6 × 10^5 J

Explanation:

Work Done = Energy

Energy = Power × time

Energy = 200 × 1800

= 360000 J

W =

3.6 \times 10 {}^{5} j
