Robert has just bought a new model roket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims

that it will maintain a constant thrust of 11.4 N until the engine is used up. Robert launches the rocket on a windless day, so that it travels straight up, and uses his laser range-finder to measure that the height of the rocket when the engine cuts off is 19.0 m. He also measures the rocket's peak height, which is 23.5 m. If the rocket has a mass of 0.613 kg, how much work is done by the drag force on the rocket during its ascent?

At the peak of its flight ALL the energy given to the rocket is potential energy (its velocity is zero) and that is calculated as mgh So Energy given to rocket = mgh Energy expended by engine = F x D (D= height where engine stops) Energy 'lost' to drag is the difference between the two values. please if this helped mark it as the brainiest answer.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Vmax=11.53 m/s

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{B}

     Spring potential energy =potential energy due to elevation

   0.5*k*x²= mg(h_{B}-h_{A} )=mgh

   0.5*k*2.3²= 430*9.81*6

         k=9568.92 N/m

For safety reason

                                 k"=1.13 *k= 1.13*9568.92

                                    k"=10812.88 N/m

agsin from conservation of energy

      E_A} =E_{C}

    spring potential energy=change in kinetic energy

   0.5*k"*x²=0.5*m*V_{max}^{2}

      10812.88 *2.3²=430*V_{max}^{2}

           V_{max}=11.53 m/s

Is everyone in your class able to hear a quiet sound equally well?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Loudness describes how people perceive sound (see loudness). ... If people could hear equally well at all frequencies, the contour lines would be flat because the same measured sound intensity would be perceived to be equally loud regardless of the sound frequency. In fact, people do not hear as well at low frequencies.

1. What coefficients would balance the following equation?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

D. 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

Explanation:

Chemical reactions involves the chemical combination of two or more substances called REACTANTS to yield other substances called PRODUCTS. However, in accordance with the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS, the amount of reactants must be equal to that of the products.

To accomplish this, the reaction must be BALANCED. A balanced equation is an equation in which the number of atoms of each element in the reactant side equals the number of atoms in the product side. In this reaction involving Aluminum and Oxygen to give Aluminum oxide as follows:

Al + 02 → Al2O3

A coefficient is used to balance the number of atoms on both sides of the equation as follows:

4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular speed of 113 $rev/min$. When steam is shut off, the friction of the
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

α = - 1.883 rev/min²

Explanation:

Given

ωin = 113 rev/min

ωfin = 0 rev/min

t = 1.0 h = 60 min

α = ?

we can use the following equation

ωfin = ωin + α*t      ⇒     α = (ωfin - ωin) / t

⇒     α = (0 rev/min - 113 rev/min) / (60 min)

⇒     α = - 1.883 rev/min²
