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

What is motion and explain also<br>​
N76 [4]

Answer:

the action or process of moving or being moved.

Explanation:

In physics, motion is the phenomenon in which an object changes its position over time. Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and time.

Leona [35]

Answer:

\vec{d}=17.7km

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector that defines the position of a particle. The vector extends from the initial position to the final position. Therefore, the displacement only takes into account this positions, since its trajectory is not important:

\vec{d}=6.3km-1.8km+13.2km\\\vec{d}=17.7km

"Determine the magnitude of the net force of gravity acting on the Moon during an eclipse when it is directly between Earth and
spayn [35]

Answer:

Net force = 2.3686 × 10^(20) N

Explanation:

To solve this, we have to find the force of the earth acting on the moon and the force of the sun acting on the moon and find the difference.

Now, from standards;

Mass of earth;M_e = 5.98 × 10^(24) kg

Mass of moon;M_m = 7.36 × 10^(22) kg

Mass of sun;M_s = 1.99 × 10^(30) kg

Distance between the sun and earth;d_se = 1.5 × 10^(11) m

Distance between moon and earth;d_em = 3.84 × 10^(8) m

Distance between sun and moon;d_sm = (1.5 × 10^(11)) - (3.84 × 10^(8)) = 1496.96 × 10^(8) m

Gravitational constant;G = 6.67 × 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

Now formula for gravitational force between the earth and the moon is;

F_em = (G × M_e × M_m)/(d_em)²

Plugging in relevant values, we have;

F_em = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 × 10^(24) × 7.36 × 10^(22))/(3.84 × 10^(8))²

F_em = 1.9909 × 10^(20) N

Similarly, formula for gravitational force between the sun and moon is;

F_sm = (G × M_s × M_m)/(d_sm)²

Plugging in relevant values, we have;

F_se = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 1.99 × 10^(30) ×

7.36 × 10^(22))/(1496.96 × 10^(8))²

F_se = 4.3595 × 10^(20) N

Thus, net force = F_se - F_em

Net force = (4.3595 × 10^(20) N) - (1.9909 × 10^(20) N) = 2.3686 × 10^(20) N

A cube of side 5.0m is in a region where the electric field is directed outward from both of two opposite cube faces, with unifo
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The charge inside the cube is null.

Explanation:

If we apply the gauss theorem with a cubical gaussian surface of the size of the cube:

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=\frac{q_{in}}{\varepsilon_{0}}

If we consider than the direction of the electric field is \vec{E}=E_0\hat{x}, we can solve the problem differentiating  the integral for each face of the cube:

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=\displaystyle\int_{S_1} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_1}+\displaystyle\int_{S_2} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_2}+\displaystyle\int_{S_3} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_3}+\displaystyle\int_{S_4} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_4}+\displaystyle\int_{S_5} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_5}+\displaystyle\int_{S_6} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_6}

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=\displaystyle\int_{S_1} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{x}ds_1+\displaystyle\int_{S_2} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{-x}ds_2+\displaystyle\int_{S_3} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{y}ds_3+\displaystyle\int_{S_4} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{-y}ds_4+\displaystyle\int_{S_5} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{z}ds_5+\displaystyle\int_{S_6} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{-z}ds_6

E₀ is a constant and each surface is equal to each other, so: S_1=S_2=S_i=S

Therefore:

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=E_0\displaystyle\int_{S_1} \,ds_1+E_0\displaystyle\int_{S_2} -1\,ds_2+0+0+0+0=E_0S-E_0S=0

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=0=\frac{q_0}{\varepsilon_0} \longleftrightarrow q_0=0c
