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.

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}

where w is angular speed, 2\pi is a constant, and T is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the 2\pi does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

w=\frac{2\pi}{T} will also be the same

Could a person at the south pole see the north star, explain?? ​
9966 [12]

Answer:

If conditions are just right, you can see Polaris from just south of the equator.  Although Polaris is also known as the North Star, it doesn't lie precisely above Earth's North Pole. If it did, Polaris would have a declination of exactly 90 degree.

In an engine governor, the two spheres (total mass of 1.0kg) are at 0.05m and rotating at 37rad/s If the engine increases the an
kirill115 [55]

Here we can say that there is no external torque on this system

So here we can say that angular momentum is conserved

so here we will have

I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2

now we have

I_1 = mr^2

I_1 = (1kg)(0.05^2)

I_1 = 25\times 10^{-4} kg m^2

similarly let the final distance is "r"

so now we have

I_2 = mr^2

I_2 = 1r^2

now from above equation we have

(25\times 10^{-4})37 = (r^2)(58)

r = 0.04 m

so final distance is 0.04 m between them

15. A locomotive moved 18.0 m [W] in a time of 6.00 s and stopped. After stopping, the
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Distance = 30m

Displacement = 6m W

Explanation:

Given the following:

Movement 1 = 18m W

Movement 2 = 12m E

Diatance is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. That is, in Calculating the distance moved by the locomotive, the direction of travel or movement of the object is not considered. It only measures the total amount of movement made during the Time of motion.

Therefore, total distance traveled equals :

Movement 1 + movement 2

18m + 12m = 30m

B) Displacement also measures the movement made by an object. However, Displacement is a vector quantity and therefore, considers both magnitude and direction of travel of the object. Therefore, it measures the overall change in position of the object from its starting position.

Therefore, Displacement of the locomotive equals:

18m W - 12m E = 6m E
