How does acceleration affect speed and velocity

Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.

Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the instant their retrorockets fire. Rocket A has an initia
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

-22.2 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation for position x for a constant acceleration a, time t and initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀:

(1) x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0

For rocket A the initial and final position: x = x₀= 0. Using these values in equation 1 gives:

(2) 0=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t

Solving for time t:

-\frac{1}{2}at^2=v_0t

(3) t=-\frac{2v_0}{a}

The times for both rockets must be equal, since they start and end at the same location. Using equation 3 for rocket A and B gives:

(4) \frac{v_{0A}}{a_A}=\frac{v_{0B}}{a_B}

Solving equation 4 for acceleration of rocket B:

(5) a_B=a_A\frac{v_{0B}}{v_{0A}}

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 220 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. What mass of fuel is n
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let fuel is released at the rate of dm / dt where m is mass of the fuel

thrust created on rocket

= d ( mv ) / dt

= v dm / dt

this is equal to force created on the rocket

= 220 dv / dt

so applying newton's law

v dm / dt = 220 dv / dt

v dm = 220 dv

dv / v = dm / 220

integrating on both sides

∫ dv / v    = ∫ dm / 220

lnv =  ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

ln4000 - ln 2500 = ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( ln4000 - ln 2500 )

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( 8.29  - 7.82 )

= 103.4 kg .

An 888.0 kg elevator is moving downward with a velocity of 0.800 m/s. It decelerates uniformly and comes to a stop in a distance
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The value of tension on the cable T = 1065.6 N

Explanation:

Mass = 888 kg

Initial velocity ( u )= 0.8 \frac{m}{sec}

Final velocity ( V ) = 0

Distance traveled before come to rest = 0.2667 m

Now use third law of motion V^{2} = u^{2} - 2 a s

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 0 = 0.8^{2} - 2 × a ×0.2667

⇒ a = 1.2 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

This is the deceleration of the box.

Tension in the cable is given by T = F = m × a

Put all the values in above formula we get,

T = 888 × 1.2

T = 1065.6 N

This is the value of tension on the cable.
