An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at +44 ft/s2. After some time t1,
mash [69]

Answer:

a) t₁ = 4.76 s, t₂ = 85.2 s

b) v = 209 ft/s

Explanation:

Constant acceleration equations:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

v = at + v₀

where x is final position,

x₀ is initial position,

v₀ is initial velocity,

a is acceleration,

and t is time.

When the engine is on and the sled is accelerating:

x₀ = 0 ft

v₀ = 0 ft/s

a = 44 ft/s²

t = t₁

So:

x = 22 t₁²

v = 44 t₁

When the engine is off and the sled is coasting:

x = 18350 ft

x₀ = 22 t₁²

v₀ = 44 t₁

a = 0 ft/s²

t = t₂

So:

18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) t₂

Given that t₁ + t₂ = 90:

18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) (90 − t₁)

Now we can solve for t₁:

18350 = 22 t₁² + 3960 t₁ − 44 t₁²

18350 = 3960 t₁ − 22 t₁²

9175 = 1980 t₁ − 11 t₁²

11 t₁² − 1980 t₁ + 9175 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

t₁ = [ 1980 ± √(1980² - 4(11)(9175)) ] / 22

t₁ = 4.76, 175

Since t₁ can't be greater than 90, t₁ = 4.76 s.

Therefore, t₂ = 85.2 s.

And v = 44 t₁ = 209 ft/s.

If you know the amount of air pressure exerted on a tabletop, how can you calculate the force exerted on the tabletop? Multiply
babymother [125]

Answer:

Multiply the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.

Explanation:

The relationship between pressure, force and area is given by:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where in this case, p is the air pressure, F is the force exerted and A the area of the tabletop. By re-arranging the equation, we can solve for F, the force exerted:

p=\frac{F}{A}\\p\cdot A=\frac{F}{A}\cdot A\\pA=F

So, the correct answer is:

The force exerted on the tabletop can be found by multiplying the air pressure by the area of the tabletop.
