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

98 POINTS, 5 simple questions!! HELP
lozanna [386]

25,000 Feet = 7620m

PE = mgh where m is mass, g is gravity accel: 9.8 n h is height

= 90 x 9.8 x 7620

= 6720840J

= 6.72MJ

F = ma where m is mass, a is accel = gravity = 9.8

= 90 x 9.8

= 882N

Accel = gravity = 9.8m/s^2

KE = 1/2mv^2 where m is mass n v is vel

if no wind resistance, PE leaving airplane = KE at net

6720840 = 1/2 x 90 x v^2

v^2 = 149352

v = 386.5m/s

Write a complete scientific explanation to account for why the ball that was moving faster caused more flour to spread out.​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

It is due to the large impulse is imparted on the flour.

Explanation:

A ball is moving faster.

When a ball is moving faster strikes to the flour, the change in momentum is large and thus the impulse imparted on the flour is large.

Impulse = change in momentum

So, as the flour experiences large impulse and large momentum so that the flour spreads out.

If the change in momentum is large so the flour spreads out is more.
