of 3.00 m/s2 until its engines stop at an altitude of 140 m. (a) What can you say about the motion of the rocket after its engines stop? This answer has not been graded yet. (b) What is the maximum height reached by the rocket? m (c) How long after liftoff does the rocket reach its maximum height? s (d) How long is the rocket in the air? s

Answer:

(a) The motion of rocket is in upward direction and reaches to maximum height then the rocket starts falling freely.

(b) The maximum height attained by the rocket from the ground is 348.65 m

(c) The time taken by the rocket to maximum height after lift off is 8.85 s.

(d) The total time taken by the rocket in air is 17.3 second.

Explanation:

u = 57 m/s, a = 3 m/s^2, h = 140 m

let the rocket attains a velocity v after covering 140 m and it takes t time to reach upto 140 m.

Use III equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2a h

v^2 = 57^2 + 2 x 3 x 140

v = 63.95 m/s

Now use I equation of motion

v = u + at

t = (63.95 - 57) / 3 = 2.32 s

(a) The motion of rocket is in upward direction and reaches to maximum height then the rocket starts falling freely.

(b) Let H be the maximum height reached by the rocket after the engine stops.

Use III equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2aH

here, v = 0, u = 63.95 m/s, a = - 9.8 m/s^2

0 = 63.95^2 - 2 x 9.8 x H

H = 208.65 m

The maximum height attained by the rocket from the ground is h + H = 140 + 208.65 = 348.65 m

(c) Let t' be the time in which rocket reaches to maximum height after engine is stopped.

Use I equation of motion

v = u + a t'

0 = 63.95 - 9.8 x t'

t' = 6.53 s

The time taken by the rocket to maximum height after lift off is t + t' = 2.32 + 6.53 = 8.85 s.

(d) let t'' be the time taken by the rocket to fall freely

Use II equation of motion

H' = ut'' + 1/2 gt''^2

Here, H' = 348.65 m, u = 0

348.65 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t''^2

t''^ = 8.44 s

The total time taken by the rocket in air is t + t' + t'' = 2.32 + 6.53 + 8.44 = 17.3 second.

How could we expect a white paper to appear when viewed in a red light?

Xelga [282]

The accurate answer is:
You could expect a white paper to have a red tone when viewed in a red light. This is the case because of the neutrality of the white paper.

When an electron falls from a higher to a lower energy level in an atom, the photon released has a wavelength of 121.6 nm. What

yarga [219]

Answer:

$\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

The energy difference between the energy levels involved in the transition of the electron is directly proportional to the frequency of the emitted photon:

$\Delta E=h\nu(1)$

Where h is the Planck constant. The photon's frequency is inversely proportional to its wavelegth:

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}(2)$

Here c is the speed of light. Replacing (2) in (1):

$\Delta E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\Delta E=\frac{(6.63*10^{-34}J\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{121.6*10^{-9}m}\\\Delta E=1.64*10^{-18}J$

If you quadruple the temperature of a black body, by what factor will the total energy radiated per second per square meter incr

arlik [135]

<u>In modern physics</u>, as it was called "Stefan-Boltzmann law", the total energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body is directly proportional to the fourth power of the black body's temperature T

as:

$P\alpha T^4$

where: P is the power (total energy radiated per second per square meter) and T is the temperature of a black body.

then we can make a ratio between the state of before quadruple (with subscript 1) and after (with subscript 2) as:

$\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =\frac{T_{1}^4 }{T_{2}^4}$

As

$T_{2}=4T_{1}$

Then

$\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =\frac{T_{1}^4 }{(4T_{1})^4}$

then

$P_{2}=256*P_{1}$

The factor will the total energy radiated per second per square meter increase = 256

Technician A says that torque-to-yield head bolts are special bolts that are reusable. Technician A says that main bearing clear

Blizzard [7]

Answer: D

Neither A nor B

Explanation:

In order to check the clearances for rod and main bearings, you need a set of micrometers and a dial-bore gauge

Measuring the inside diameter of a main or rod bearing will require a dial bore gauge. The best ones to use are accurate down to 0.0001-inch.

So, both technician A and B are incorrect
