How does the speed of waves vary in different media? Radio waves are used to transmit verbal messages through space. Sound waves

are transferred by the compression of particles. The closer the particles are to one another, the faster the energy is transferred. I hear the train coming! I will hear the train through the air before I feel the vibration in the tracks. As a wave travels into a medium in which its speed increases, its wavelength would stay the same. The denser the medium, the slower the speed of a light wave.

A 7600 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.35 m/s2 and feels no appreci
ollegr [7]

Answer:

a) The rocket reaches a maximum height of 737.577 meters.

b) The rocket will come crashing down approximately 17.655 seconds after engine failure.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that rocket accelerates uniformly in the two stages. First, rocket is accelerates due to engine and second, it is decelerated by gravity.

1st Stage - Engine

Given that initial velocity, acceleration and travelled distance are known, we determine final velocity (v), measured in meters per second, by using this kinematic equation:

v = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2} +2\cdot a\cdot \Delta s} (1)

Where:

a - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

\Delta s - Travelled distance, measured in meters.

v_{o} - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, a = 2.35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and \Delta s = 595\,m, the final velocity of the rocket is:

v = \sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+2\cdot \left(2.35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (595\,m)}

v\approx 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}

The time associated with this launch (t), measured in seconds, is:

t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}

t = \frac{52.882\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}}{2.35\,\frac{m}{s} }

t = 22.503\,s

2nd Stage - Gravity

The rocket reaches its maximum height when final velocity is zero:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2\cdot a\cdot (s-s_{o}) (2)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

v - Final speed, measured in meters per second.

a - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

s_{o} - Initial height, measured in meters.

s - Final height, measured in meters.

If we know that v_{o} = 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and s_{o} = 595\,m, then the maximum height reached by the rocket is:

v^{2} -v_{o}^{2} = 2\cdot a\cdot (s-s_{o})

s-s_{o} = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}

s = s_{o} + \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}

s = 595\,m + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(52.882\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}

s = 737.577\,m

The rocket reaches a maximum height of 737.577 meters.

b) The time needed for the rocket to crash down to the launch pad is determined by the following kinematic equation:

s = s_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2} (2)

Where:

s_{o} - Initial height, measured in meters.

s - Final height, measured in meters.

v_{o} - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

a - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that s_{o} = 595\,m, v_{o} = 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}, s = 0\,m and a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the time needed by the rocket is:

0\,m = 595\,m + \left(52.882\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot t^{2}

-4.904\cdot t^{2}+52.882\cdot t +595 = 0

Then, we solve this polynomial by Quadratic Formula:

t_{1}\approx 17.655\,s, t_{2} \approx -6.872\,s

Only the first root is solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the rocket will come crashing down approximately 17.655 seconds after engine failure.

a ball rolls along the floor with a constant velocity of 3 m/s. How far will it have gone after 234 seconds?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The ball travel for 702m

Explanation:

distance = speed × time

speed = 3m/s

time = 234s

distance = 3 × 234

= 702m
