A. Direction

Speed is just distance divided by time, but velocity is displacement divided by time and displacement has direction. Speed will always be positive, but velocity can be either positive or negative.

A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 103 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s alo
Serggg [28]

Before the engines fail (0\le t\le3.00\,\rm s), the rocket's horizontal and vertical position in the air are

x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t^2

y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t^2

and its velocity vector has components

v_x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t

v_y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t

After t=3.00\,\rm s, its position is

x=273\,\rm m

y=362\,\rm m

and the rocket's velocity vector has horizontal and vertical components

v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}

v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}

After the engine failure (t>3.00\,\rm s), the rocket is in freefall and its position is given by

x=273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t

y=362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

and its velocity vector's components are

v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}

v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt

where we take g=9.80\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}.

a. The maximum altitude occurs at the point during which v_y=0:

159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt=0\implies t=16.2\,\rm s

At this point, the rocket has an altitude of

362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(16.2\,\rm s)-\dfrac g2(16.2\,\rm s)^2=1650\,\rm m

b. The rocket will eventually fall to the ground at some point after its engines fail. We solve y=0 for t, then add 3 seconds to this time:

362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=34.6\,\rm s

So the rocket stays in the air for a total of 37.6\,\rm s.

c. After the engine failure, the rocket traveled for about 34.6 seconds, so we evalute x for this time t:

273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(34.6\,\rm s)=4410\,\rm m

A 20 N south magnetic force pushes a charged particle traveling with a velocity of 4 m/s west through a 5 T magnetic field point
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

<u>Charge</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>particle</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>coulomb</u><u>.</u>

Explanation:

Force, F:

{ \bf{F=BeV}}

F is magnetic force.

B is the magnetic flux density.

e is the charge of the particle.

V is the velocity

{ \sf{20 = (5 \times e \times 4)}} \\ { \sf{20e = 20}} \\ { \sf{e = 1 \: coulomb}}

The number of different species in the biosphere or in a particular area is called
Arada [10]

Answer:

Biodiversity.

Explanation:

The number of different species in a particular area is known as biodiversity. Blue whales, plants, different kind of animals, and micro-organism living in an ocean is the example of biodiversity. In biodiversity each specie has its own role. For example, if a biodiversity has large number of plants (species), it will have many type of crops.
