Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the instant their retrorockets fire. Rocket A has an initia

l velicity of +5800m/s, while Rocket B has an initial velocity of +8600m/s. After a time t both rockets are again side by side, the displacement of each being zero. The acceleration of rocket A is -15m/s^2. What is the acceleration of rocket B?

Answer:

The acceleration of rocket B is -22.24 m/s²

Explanation:

Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the

instant their retrorockets fire

That means they started from the same point at the same time

Rocket A has an initial velocity of  5800 m/s

Rocket B has an initial velocity of 8600 m/s

After a time t both rockets are again side by side, the displacement of

each being zero

That means they are in the same position again → s = 0

The acceleration of rocket A is  -15 m/s²

We need to find the acceleration for rocket B

We can find the time from the information of rocket A by using the

rule → s = u t + \frac{1}{2} a t²

where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the

acceleration, and t is the time

→ s = 0 , u = 5800 m/s , a = -15 m/s²

Substitute these values in the rule

→ 0 = 5800 t + \frac{1}{2} (-15) t²

→ 0 = 5800 t - 7.5 t²

Add 7.5 t² for both sides

→ 7.5 t² = 5800 t

Divide both sides by 7.5 t

→ t = 773.3 s

The time for the both rocket to have displacement zero is 773.3 s

Now we can find the acceleration of the rocket B by using the same

rule above

→ u = 8600 m/s , t = 773.3 , s = 0

→ 0 = (8600)(773.3) + \frac{1}{2} a (773.3)²

→ 0 = 6650380 + 298996.445 a

Subtract 6650380 from both sides

→ -6650380 = 298996.445 a

Divide both sides by 298996.445

→ a = -22.24 m/s²

<em>The acceleration of rocket B is -22.24 m/s²</em>

An archer puts a 0.30 kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m.a. Assuming
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of archer m=0.3\ kg

Average force F_{avg}=201\ N

extension in arrow x=1.3\ m

Work done to stretch the bow with arrow

W=F\cdot x

W=201\times 1.3=261.3\ m

This work done is converted into kinetic Energy of arrow

W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v= velocity of arrow

261.3=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.3\times v^2

v=\sqrt{1742}

v=41.73\ m/s

(b)if arrow is thrown vertically upward then this energy is converted to Potential energy

W=mgh

261.3=0.3\times 9.8\times h

h=\frac{261.3}{0.3\times 9.8}

h=88.87\ m

A man has a mass of 110 kg. What is his weight?<br> A. 110N<br> B. 1325 N<br> C. 559 N<br> D. 1078 N
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

<u><em>Given:</em></u>

Mass = m = 110 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s

<u><em>Required:</em></u>

Weight = W = ?

<u><em>Formula</em></u>

W = mg

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

W = (110)(9.8)

W = 1078 N

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th
fiasKO [112]
Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where f is the focal length of the mirror, d_o the distance of the object from the mirror, and d_i the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for d_i by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}
d_i = -8.6 cm
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.
