A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.0 m/s at ground level.

The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates up- ward at 4.00 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1 000 m. At that point, its engines fail and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of 29.80 m/s2. (a) For what time interval is the rocket in motion above the ground?

Answer:

The time interval the rocket is in motion above the ground is the time in the two times the motion is going on T_{total} = 23,14 s

Explanation:

V_{i} = 80 (\frac{m}{s} )

S_{i} = 0 m

The motion in the first step has an acceleration a_{1} = 4 (\frac{m}{s^{2} } )

and the maximum height will be and the end of this step is S_{1} = 1000 m

So to know the time until the rocket fail and change the acceleration:

S_{1} = S_{i} + V_{i1}  * t + \frac{1}{2} * a_{1} *t^{2}

1000m = 0 m + 80 \frac{m}{s} * t + \frac{1}{2} * 4 \frac{m}{s^{2} }  * t^{2}

1000= 2*t^{2} + 80 * t you can divide the expression by two and simplify the calculating

2t^{2} + 80*t -1000=0

t^{2} + 40*t -500=0

Using quadratic equation :

\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}

\frac{- 40+/- \sqrt{40^{2}-4*-500 } }{2}

-20 +/-  30

x_{1}= -50 , x_{2}= 10 , The time can be negative so, the time we are going to use is 10s

t_{1}= 10 s

Now when the rocket fail it change the direction of the motion and the time is going to be  the time it takes to reach earth again

v_{f} = v_{i}+a_{1}*t_{1}

v_{f}= 80 \frac{m}{s} + 4 \frac{m}{s^{2} } * 10 s = 120 \frac{m}{s}

S_{2} = S_{1} + V_{i2}  * t + \frac{1}{2} * a_{2}  *t^{2}

0m = 1000m + 120 \frac{m}{s} * t +\frac{1}{2} (-29,8 \frac{m}{s^{2} })*t^{2}

0m = 1000m + 120 \frac{m}{s} * t -14,9 \frac{m}{s^{2} })*t^{2}

\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}

\frac{- 120+/- \sqrt{120^{2}-4*-14,9*1000 } }{2*14,9}

x_{1}= -5,108s , x_{2}= 13,14 , The time can be negative so, the time we are going to use is 13,14s

So the full time is the both times adding them

T_{total}= 10 + 13,14 = 23,14 s

A boat traveling across a river has a resultant velocity of 10 km/h and travels 34 degrees with respect to the shore. A) What is
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

a) 1.55 m/s

b) 2.3 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the boat travels across the river, if we define the river as the x-axis, then the velocity of the boat is only on the y-axis.

Then we can write the velocity of the boat in still water as:

S = (0, B)

Now, when the boat is on the river, the velocity of the boat will be equal to the velocity of the boat in still water plus the velocity of the river.

The velocity of the river is:

v = (R, 0).

Then the velocity of the boat in that river is:

V' = (0, B) + (R, 0) = (R, B)

Now, we know that the velocity of the boat is 10km/h, and it travels at an angle of 34° with respect to the shore.

We can use the Pythagoreans theorem to write the components of this velocity as:

x-axis component = 10km/h*cos(34°) = 8.29 km/h

y-axis component = 10km/h*sin(34°) =  5.59 km/h

Then the velocity of the boat can be written in components as:

velocity = ( 8.29 km/h,  5.59 km/h)

And we knew that the velocity of the boat was written as  (R, B)

Then we must have:

R = 8.29 km/h

B = 5.59 km/h

a) The speed of the boat in m/s:

We know that the speed of the boat is 5.59 km/h.

First, we know that:

1km = 1000m, then:

5.59 km/h = 5.59*(1000m)h = 5,590 m/h

And we know that:

1h = 3600s

Then we can write:

5,590 m/h = 5,590 m/(3600s) = 1.55 m/s

b) The speed of the river in m/s:

We know that the speed of the river is 8.29 km/h

Using the same reasoning as above, we can do the change of units as follows:

8.29 km/h = 8.29 (1000m)/(3600s) = 2.3 m/s

Considering this analogy (current = rate that heat flows through a window, and voltage = temperature difference across the windo
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Resistance R in a current flow through an object is given by

R= \frac{\rho L}{A}

ρ = resistivity of the material

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

clearly resistance is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.

thermal resistance R_th is given by

R_{th} = \frac{L}{KA}

L= length of the object

A=  area of cross section

K = Conductivity of the material

thermal resistance is also is directly dependent on length of the object.This means greater the length larger will be resistance to current.
