A rocket is fired straight up. It contains two stages (Stage 1 and Stage 2) of solid rocket fuel that are designed to burn for 1

0.0 and 5.00 s, respectively, with no time interval between them. In Stage 1, the rocket fuel provides an upward acceleration of 16.0 m/s^2. In Stage 2, the acceleration is 11.0 m/s2. Neglecting air resistance, calculate the maximum altitude above the surface of Earth of the payload and the time required for it to return to the surface. Assume the acceleration due to gravity is constant.a. Calculate the maximum altitude. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)b. Calculate time required to return to the surface (i.e. the total time of flight). (Express your answer to three significant figures.)

Answer:

a)  y= 3.5 10³ m, b)   t = 64 s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use the vertical launch kinematics equation

Stage 1

          y₁ = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

          y₁ = 0 + 0 + ½ a₁ t²

Let's calculate

         y₁ = ½ 16 10²

         y₁ = 800 m

At the end of this stage it has a speed

        v₁ = vo + a₁ t₁

        v₁ = 0 + 16 10

        v₁ = 160 m / s

Stage 2

        y₂ = y₁ + v₁ (t-t₀) + ½ a₂ (t-t₀)²

        y₂ = 800 + 150 5 + ½ 11 5²

        y₂ = 1092.5 m

Speed ​​is

        v₂ = v₁ + a₂ t

        v₂ = 160 + 11 5

        v₂ = 215 m / s

The rocket continues to follow until the speed reaches zero (v₃ = 0)

         v₃² = v₂² - 2 g y₃

         0 = v₂² - 2g y₃

         y₃ = v₂² / 2g

         y₃ = 215²/2 9.8

         y₃ = 2358.4 m

The total height is

          y = y₃ + y₂

          y = 2358.4 + 1092.5

          y = 3450.9 m

           y= 3.5 10³ m

b) Flight time is the time to go up plus the time to go down

Let's look for the time of stage 3

          v₃ = v₂ - g t₃

          v₃ = 0

          t₃ = v₂ / g

          t₃ = 215 / 9.8

          t₃ = 21.94 s

The time to climb is

          t_{s} = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

          t_{s} = 10+ 5+ 21.94

          t_{s} = 36.94 s

The time to descend from the maximum height is

          y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

When it starts to slow down it's zero

         y = - ½ g t_{b}²

         t_{b}  = √-2y / g

         

        t_{b} = √(- 2 (-3450.9) /9.8)

        t_{b} = 26.54 s

Flight time is the rise time plus the descent date

        t = t_{s} + t_{b}

        t = 36.94 + 26.54

        t =63.84 s

        t = 64 s

Suppose you give a 10 Newton push to Ryan on skis (he weighs 50 kg), how much will he accelerate?
Talja [164]

Well we can just use F=ma. The force is 10N, the mass is 50 kg, solve for a. Well since we kg and N, no conversion is necessary. So just plugging in the numbers, we get

10N = 50 kg · a

\frac{10N}{50kg}=a

A newton is just \frac{kg·m}{s^{2}}

a=\frac{\frac{10kg·m}{s^{2}}}{50kg}

The s^2 and 50 kg you multiply

a=\frac{10kg·m}{50kg·s^{2}}

The kg's cancel and 10/50 is 1/5

\frac{1}{5}·\frac{m}{s^{2}}

So the acceleration is 1/5 m/s^2

observe the figure given carefully volume of water in each vessel is shown arrange them in order of decreasing pressure at the b
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The pressure is defined as the product of the density of the liquid by the gravitational acceleration by the height, and can be easily calculated by means of the following equation.

 P=Ro*g*h

where:

Ro = density of the fluid [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

In this way we can understand that the greater pressure is achieved by means of the height of the liquid, that is, as long as the fluid has more height, greater pressure will be achieved at the bottom.

Therefore in order of decreasing will be  

The largest pressure with the largest height of the liquid, container B. The next is obtained with container D, the next with container A and the lowest pressure with container C.  

The pressure decreases as we go from the container B - D - A - C
