<span>Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.</span>

the acceleration of a rocket traveling upward is given by a=(6+.02s)m/s^s, where s is in meters. Determine the rocket's velocity
NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) velocity v = 322.5m/s

b) time t = 19.27s

Explanation:

Note that;

ads = vdv

where

a is acceleration

s is distance

v is velocity

Given;

a = 6 + 0.02s

so,

\int\limits^s_0 {a} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ \int\limits^s_0 {6+0.02s} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ 6s + \frac{0.02s^{2} }{2} = \frac{1}{2} v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{12s + 0.02s^{2} } .....................1 \\\\\\

Remember that

v = \frac{ds}{dt} \\\frac{ds}{v} = dt\\\int\limits^s_0 {\frac{ds}{\sqrt{12s+0.02s^{2} } } } \, ds = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt \\t=  (5\sqrt{2} ) ln  \frac{| [s + 300 + \sqrt{(s^{2}  + 600s)} ] |}{300} .......2

substituting s = 2km =2000m, into equation 1

v = 322.5m/s

substituting s = 2000m into equation 2

t = 19.27s

A package of aluminum foil contains 50. ft2 of foil, which weighs approximately 6.0 oz. Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. Wh
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Explanation:

Area = 50 ft^2 = 46451.5 cm^2

mass = 6 oz = 170.097 g

density = 2.70 g/cm^3

Let t be the thickness of foil in cm.

mass = volume x density

mass = area x thickness x density

170.097 = 46451.5 x t x 2.70

t = 1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Thus, the thickness of aluminium foil is 1.36 x 10^-3 cm.
