A rocket is fired straight upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.0 m/s^2. It runs out of fuel at the end of 4.00

s and continues to coast 25.0 m/s^2. It runs out of fuel at the end of 4.00 s and continues to coast upward, reaching a maximum height before falling back to Earth. (a) Find the rocket’s height when it runs out of fuel; (b) find the rocket’s velocity when it runs out of fuel; (c) find the maximum height the rocket reaches; (d) find the rocket’s velocity the instant before the rocket crashes into the ground; and (e) find the total elapsed time from launch to ground impact.

Answer:

a) 200 m

b) 100 m/s

c) 709 m

d) -118.2 m/s

e) 26.24 s

Explanation:

The rocket flies upward with constant acceleretion.

The equation for position under constant acceleration is:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

Y0 = 0

V0 = 0

Y(t) = 1/2 * 25 * t^2

Y(t) = 12.5 * t^2

And speed under constant acceleration:

Vy(t) = Vy0 + a * t

Vy(t) = 25 * t

It burns for 4 s and runs out of fuel

Y(4) = 12.5 * 4^2 = 200 m

V(4) = 25 * 4 = 100 m/s

Form t = 4 the rocket will coast, it will be in free fall, affected only by gravity

It will be under constant acceleration. These new equations will have different starting constants.

Y(t) = Y4 + Vy4 * (t - 4) + 1/2 * g * (t - 4)^2

Vy(t) = Vy4 + g * (t - 4)

When it reaches its highest point it will have a speed of zero.

0 = Vy4 + g * (t - 4)

0 = 100 - 9.81 * (t - 4)

100 = 9.81 * (t - 4)

t - 4 = 100 / 9.81

t = 10.2 + 4 = 14.2 s

At that moment it will have a height of:

Y(14.2) = 200 + 100 * (14.2 - 4) - 1/2 * 9.81 * (14.2 - 4)^2 = 709 m

The rocket will fall and hit the ground:

Y(t) = 0 = 200 + 100 * (t - 4) - 1/2 * 9.81 * (t - 4)^2

0 = 200 + 100 * t - 400 - 4.9 * (t^2 - 8 * t +16)

0 = -4.9 * t^2 + 139.2 * t -278.4

Solving this equation electronically:

t = 26.24 s

At that time the speed will be:

Vy(t) = 100 - 9.81 * (26.24 - 4) = -118.2 m/s

crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity u=25\ m/s

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

Which is an IUPAC name for a covalent compound
Elena L [17]
In naming covalent compound (binary) based in IUPAC naming, we have 4 rules to be followed:

1. The first element of the formula will use the normal name of the given element. for example: CO2 ( Carbon Dioxide), Carbon is the element name of the first element of the formula.

2. The second element is named as if they are treated like an anion but put in mind that these are no ions in a covalent compound but we put -ide on the second element as if it is an anion.

3. Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atom of the elements in the compound. for example: mono- 1 atom, di- 2atoms, tri- 3 atoms and etc

4. Prefix "mono"is never used in naming the first element. For example: Carbon dioxide, there should be no monocarbon dioxide.
