A 7500-kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.25m/s2 and feels no apprecia

ble air resistance. When it has reached a height of 525 m, its engines suddenly fail; the only force acting on it is now gravity. (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.

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

In the Millikan oil drop experiment the measured charge of any single droplet was always a whole number multiple of -1.60 x 10-1
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Number of electrons, n = 6

Explanation:

Total charge in a single droplet, q=-9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

The measured charge of any single droplet, e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Let n is the number of excess electrons are contained within the drop. According to the quantization of charge :

q=ne

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{-9.6\times 10^{-19}}{-1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n = 6

So, there are 6 electrons contained within the drop. Hence, this is the required solution.

The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorous and oxygen act together as on
S_A_V [24]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorus and oxygen act together as one charged particle, which is connected to magnesium, the other charged particle. What does the 2 mean in the formula 5Mg3(PO4)2? A. There are two elements in magnesium phosphate. B. There are two molecules of magnesium phosphate. C. There are two magnesium ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate. D. There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Answer:

There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.

Explanation:

The compound magnesium phosphate is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds always consists of two ions, a positive ion and a negative ion.

In this case, the positive ion is Mg^2+ while the negative ion is PO4^3-.

The subscript, 2 after the formula of the phosphate ion means that there are two phosphate ions in each formula unit of magnesium phosphate.

How much force must be applied for a 150.W motor to keep a package moving at 3.00m/s?
leva [86]

The force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is the action of push or pull the object in order to make it move or stop.

Power is related to force and velocity as

P = F x v

150 W = F x 3 m/s

F  =50 N

Thus, the force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.
