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>

(III) A baseball is seen to pass upward by a window with a vertical speed of If the ball was thrown by a person 18 m below on th
Ghella [55]

Answer:

<em><u>Assuming that the vertical speed of the ball is 14 m/s</u></em> we found the given values:

a) V₀ = 23.4 m/s

b) h = 27.9 m

c) t = 0.96 s

d) t = 4.8 s

 

Explanation:

a) <u>Assuming that the vertical speed is 14 m/s</u> (founded in the book) the initial speed of the ball can be calculated as follows:  

V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} - 2gh

<u>Where:</u>

V_{f}: is the final speed = 14 m/s

V_{0}: is the initial speed =?

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 18 m

V_{0} = \sqrt{V_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{(14 m/s)^{2} + 2*9.81 m/s^{2}*18 m} = 23.4 m/s  

b) The maximum height is:

V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} - 2gh

h = \frac{V_{0}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(23. 4 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.81 m/s^{2}} = 27.9 m

c) The time can be found using the following equation:

V_{f} = V_{0} - gt

t = \frac{V_{0} - V_{f}}{g} = \frac{23.4 m/s - 14 m/s}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 0.96 s

d) The flight time is given by:

t_{v} = \frac{2V_{0}}{g} = \frac{2*23.4 m/s}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 4.8 s

What is the mass of a sample of water that takes 2000 kJ of energy to boil into steam at 373 K? The latent heat of vaporization
GREYUIT [131]

Answer : The mass of a sample of water is, 888.89 grams

Explanation :

Latent heat of vaporization : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the liquid converted to vapor at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.

Formula used :

q=L\times m

where,

q = heat = 2000 kJ = 2\times 10^6J       (1 kJ = 1000 J)

L = latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.25\times 10^6J/kg

m = mass of sample of water = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

2\times 10^6J=(2.25\times 10^6J/kg)\times m

m=0.88889kg=888.89g       (1 kg = 1000 g)

Therefore, the mass of a sample of water is, 888.89 grams

How much heat is required to convert 2.55g of water at 28 degrees c to steam?
pantera1 [17]
There are two different processes here:
1) we must add heat in order to bring the temperature of the water from 28^{\circ}C to 100^{\circ}C (the temperature at which the water evaporates)
2) other heat must be added to make the water evaporates

1) The heat needed for process 1) is
Q_1=m C_s \Delta T
where 
m=2.55 g is the water mass
C_s = 4.18 g/J^{\circ}C is the water specific heat
\Delta T=100^{\circ}C-28^{\circ}C=72^{\circ}C is the variation of temperature of the water
If we plug the numbers into the equation, we find
Q_1 = (2.55 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(72^{\circ}C)=767.4 J

2) The heat needed for process 2) is
Q=m L_e
where 
m=2.55 g is the water mass
L_e = 2264.7 J/g is the latent heat of evaporation of water
If we plug the numbers into the equation, we find
Q_2=(2.55 g)(2264.7 J/g)=5775.0 J

So, the total heat needed for the whole process is
Q=Q_1+Q_2=767.4 J+5775.0 J=6542.4 J
