a 1500kg weather rocket is launched upward from the ground and accelerates at 10m/s it explodes 4s after lifeoff and breaks into

two fragments one twice as massive as the other. Photos reveal that the lighter fragment traveled straight up and reached a maximum height of 530 m. What were the speed and direction of the heavier fragment just after the explosion?

Answer:

v_h = 9 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the rocket = 1500 kg

accelerates = 10 m/s²

time = 4 s

one fragment is twice as massive as the other.

maximum height reached by the lighter fragment = 530 m

now,

using equation of motion to calculate the velocity

initial velocity of rocket,u = 0 m/s

v = u + a t

v = at.......(1)

total mass of the rocket

M = m + m'

m' is the heavier particle mass.

m' = 2 m (from the statement given in the question)

M = 3 m

m = M/3

now, again using equation  of motion to calculate the initial velocity of the lighter particle.

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² = u² + 2 g h

u = √2gh.....(2)

now,

using conservation of momentum,

M v = m u + m' v_h

M at = \dfrac{M}{3}u + \dfrac{2M}{3}v_h

at = \dfrac{u}{3}+ \dfrac{2v_h}{3}

10\times 4 = \dfrac{\sqrt{2gh}}{3}+ \dfrac{2v_h}{3}

120= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 530}+2v_h

   2 v_h = 18

        v_h = 9 m/s

speed of the heavy fragment is equal to 9 m/s

Which vector has an x-component with a length of 4?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

C.) vector C

Explanation:

From the graph provided:

Four vectors are present :

Vectors a, b, c and d.

The x-component of the vector is its magnitude along the x-axis.

Taking the coordinate of each vector:

Vector a = (1,4) : length of x- component = 1

Vector b = (1, 1) : length of x- component = 1

Vector c = (4, -4) : length of x- component = 4

Vector d = (-3, 4) : length of x- component = - 3

Therefore, vector c has an x-component length of 4

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t
enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}

v_{avg} = 5m/s

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}

5 = 9 - v_{wind}

v_{wind}= 4 m/s

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}

v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s

now we can find the time to go back

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

time = \frac{6000}{13}

time = 7.7 minutes

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min

now when there is no wind total time is given by

T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}

T = 22.22 min

So due to wind time will be more

In which of the following processes does the molecules become more orderly?A) water freezing B) ice melting C) water evaporating
Sliva [168]

A) Water freezing

This is called the process of turning water as a liquid to its solid form which is ice.

Ice is almost together as one unlike liquid. This is why the molecules are more orderly.

The process of freezing is exothermic which means the heat has to be removed in the process.
