Answer:
8) 709.8875 J
9) The object is at 7.24375 m from the ground
10) Kinetic energy increases as the object falls.
Explanation:
We use the expression for the displacement h(t) as a function of time of an object experiencing free fall:
h(t) = hi - (g/2) t^2
hi being the initial position of the object (10m) above ground, g the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t the time (in our case 0.75 seconds):
h(0.75) = 10 - 4/9 (0.75)^2 = 7.24375 m
This is the position of the 10 kg object after 0.75 seconds (answer for part 9)
Knowing this position we can calculate the potential energy of the object when it is at this height, using the formula:
U = m g h = 10kg * 9.8 (m/s^2) * 7.24375 m = 709.8875 J (answer for part 8)
Part 10)
the kinetic energy of the object increases as it gets closer to ground, since its velocity is increasing in magnitude because is being accelerated in its motion downwards.
Answer:
9.6m/s
Explanation:
Using the equation S=d/t where s=speed, d=distance, and t=time
plug in the known variables
S=120m/12.5s
S=9.6m/s
Answer:
Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.
Explanation:

v = velocity of rocket at time t
g = Acceleration due to gravity =
= Constant velocity relative to the rocket = 2,900m/s.
m = Initial mass of the rocket at liftoff = 29000 kg
r = Rate at which fuel is consumed = 170 kg/s
Velocity of the rocket after 1 minute of the liftoff =v
t = 1 minute = 60 seconds'
Substituting all the given values in in the given equation:


Height of the rocket = h



Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.
