Answer:

H = 645.42 m

v_4 = 112.53 m/s

T = 16.43 s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of the rocket m = 7500 kg

- The acceleration for first part of the journey a_1 = 2.25 m/s^2

- The height reached before engine failure h_1 = 525 m

Find:-

(a) What is the maximum height this rocket will reach above the launch pad? (b) How much time will elapse after engine failure before the rocket comes crashing down to the launch pad, and how fast will it be moving just before it crashes?

(c) Sketch ay−t,vy−t, and y - t graphs of the rocket’s motion from the instant of blast-off to the instant just before it strikes the launch pad.

Solution:

- Find the velocity v_2 when the engine fails. Using 3rd equation of motion.

                          v_2^2 = v_i^2 + 2*a_1*h_1

The rocket blasts off from rest v_i = 0.

                          v_2 = sqrt ( 2*a_1*h_1 )

                          v_2 = sqrt ( 2*2.25*525 ) = sqrt ( 2362.5 )

                          v_2 = 48.606 m/s

- The time taken for first part of upward journey t_1. Using first equation of motion:

                          v_2 = v_1 + a_1*t_1

                          t_1 = v_2 / a_1

                          t_1 = 48.606 / 2.25

                          t_1 = 21.603 s            

- Now for second part of the upward journey, the initial velocity is v_2 and final velocity is when rocket reaches maximum height v_3 = 0. The only force is gravity; hence, a_2 = g = -9.81 m/s^2. Using 3rd equation of motion.

                          v_3^2 - v_2^2 = 2*a_2*h_2

                          h_2 = v_2^2 / 2*g

                          h_2 = 2362.5 / 2*9.81 = 120.415 m

- The maximum height the rocket will reach above launch pad is H:

                         H = h_1 + h_2

                         H = 525 + 120.415

                         H = 645.42 m

- The time taken t_2 for second part of upward journey, Using first equation of motion is:

                        v_3 = v_2 + a_2*t_2

                        t_2 = v_2 / g

                        t_2 = 48.606 / 9.81

                        t_2 = 4.955 s

- The final velocity v_4 as soon as the rocket crashes down. Using 3rd equation of motion.

                       v_4^2 = v_3^2 + 2*a_2*H

                       v_4 = sqrt ( 2*a_2*H )

                       v_4 = sqrt ( 2*9.81*645.42 ) = sqrt ( 12663.1404 )

                       v_4 = 112.53 m/s

- The time taken t_3 for downward part of journey, Using first equation of motion is:

                        v_4 = v_3 + a_2*t_3

                        t_3 = v_4 / g

                        t_3 = 112.53 / 9.81

                        t_3 = 11.47 s

- The total Time taken after engine failure to crash is T:

                        T = t_2 + t_3

                        T = 11.47 + 4.955

                        T = 16.43 s

The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time
vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.02 s

Explanation:

Take the (+x) direction to be up.  

The average velocity v during a time interval Δt is the displacement Δx divided by Δt.  

v=Δx/Δt

 =x_f-x_i/t_f-t_i                 (1)

We assume that your height is 1.6m  

Solving [1]

Δt=Δx/v

  = 0.02 s

One of the waste products of a nuclear reactor is plutonium-239 . This nucleus is radioactive and decays by splitting into a hel
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) v_{U-235} = 2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

v_{He-4} = -1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s  

b) E_{He-4} = 8.23 \cdot 10^{-13} J

E_{U-235} = 1.41 \cdot 10^{-14} J

 

Explanation:

Searching the missed information we have:                                        

E: is the energy emitted in the plutonium decay = 8.40x10⁻¹³ J

m(⁴He): is the mass of the helium nucleus = 6.68x10⁻²⁷ kg  

m(²³⁵U): is the mass of the helium U-235 nucleus = 3.92x10⁻²⁵ kg            

a) We can find the velocities of the two nuclei by conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy:

Linear momentum:

p_{i} = p_{f}

m_{Pu-239}v_{Pu-239} = m_{He-4}v_{He-4} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}

Since the plutonium nucleus is originally at rest, v_{Pu-239} = 0:

0 = m_{He-4}v_{He-4} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}  

v_{He-4} = -\frac{m_{U-235}v_{U-235}}{m_{He-4}}    (1)

Kinetic Energy:

E_{Pu-239} = \frac{1}{2}m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + \frac{1}{2}m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}

2*8.40 \cdot 10^{-13} J = m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}    

1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}   (2)    

By entering equation (1) into (2) we have:

1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = m_{He-4}(-\frac{m_{U-235}v_{U-235}}{m_{He-4}})^{2} + m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2}  

1.68\cdot 10^{-12} J = 6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(-\frac{3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*v_{U-235}}{6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg})^{2} +3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*v_{U-235}^{2}  

Solving the above equation for v_{U-235} we have:

v_{U-235} = 2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

And by entering that value into equation (1):

v_{He-4} = -\frac{3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg} = -1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s                        

The minus sign means that the helium-4 nucleus is moving in the opposite direction to the uranium-235 nucleus.

b) Now, the kinetic energy of each nucleus is:

For He-4:

E_{He-4} = \frac{1}{2}m_{He-4}v_{He-4}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 6.68 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(-1.57 \cdot 10^{7} m/s)^{2} = 8.23 \cdot 10^{-13} J

For U-235:

E_{U-235} = \frac{1}{2}m_{U-235}v_{U-235}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 3.92 \cdot 10^{-25} kg*(2.68 \cdot 10^{5} m/s)^{2} = 1.41 \cdot 10^{-14} J

 

I hope it helps you!
