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>

If the frequency of sound is doubled, how will its speed change? how will its wavelength change?
eimsori [14]

From the given equation we can deduce what changes will occur if the frequency of the sound is doubled

V= f (λ)

Speed = frequency. Wavelength  

When the frequency is doubled, speed will not change. Because speed depends on factors like temperature, air pressure, density of the gas. Since all these factors are unchanged thus speed will remain unchanged

Frequency is the number of waves produced per second. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional .Thus, if the frequency is doubled the wavelength would be halved.

A go-cart is traveling at a rate of 25 m/sec for 20 seconds. How far will the go cart travel?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of go cart = 25 m/s

Time travel = 20 seconds

Find:

Distance travel by go-cart

Computation:

Distance = Speed x time

Distance travel by go-cart = Speed of go cart x Time travel

Distance travel by go-cart = 25 x 20

Distance travel by go-cart = 500 meter

We can't tell without more information. We know it will be higher than 40 and lower than 75, but we don't know exactly where it will settle. In order to work that out, we would need to know the volumes of the water and the cube, and WHAT metal the cube is made of.
