A boy flying a kite is standing 30 ft from a point directly under the kite. if the string to the kite is 50 ft long, what is the

angle of elevation of the kite (the angle between the ground where the boy is standing and the kite string)?

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown in the figure below.
h = height of the kite above ground.

By definition, the angle of elevation is
$cos \theta = \frac{30}{50} =0.6$
Therefore
$\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6 = 53.1 \, deg.$

Answer: 53° (nearest integer)

Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th

vlabodo [156]

Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The value is $A = 39315 \ m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The velocity which the rover is suppose to land with is $v = 1 \ m/s$

The mass of the rover and the parachute is $m = 2270 \ kg$

The drag coefficient is $C__{D}} = 0.5$

The atmospheric density of Earth is $\rho = 1.2 \ kg/m^3$

The acceleration due to gravity in Mars is $g_m = 3.689 \ m/s^2$

Generally the Mars atmosphere density is mathematically represented as

$\rho_m = 0.71 * \rho$

=> $\rho_m = 0.71 * 1.2$

=> $\rho_m = 0.852 \ kg/m^3$

Generally the drag force on the rover and the parachute is mathematically represented as

$F__{D}} = m * g_{m}$

=> $F__{D}} = 2270 * 3.689$

=> $F__{D}} = 8374 \ N$

Gnerally this drag force is mathematically represented as

$F__{D}} = C__{D}} * A * \frac{\rho_m * v^2 }{2}$

Here A is the frontal area

So

$A = \frac{2 * F__D }{ C__D} * \rho_m * v^2 }$

=> $A = \frac{2 * 8374 }{ 0.5 * 0.852 * 1 ^2 }$

=> $A = 39315 \ m^2$

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.
