Answer:

13.72 m and 0.01372 m respectively

Explanation:

Wavelength: This can be defined as the distance covered in one complete oscillation. The S.I unit of wavelength is meter (m).

The formula for the speed of a wave is given as

v = λf ............................. Equation 1

Where v = speed of the sound wave, λ = wavelength, f = frequency of the sound wave.

make λ the subject of the equation,

λ = v/f ......................... Equation 2

For the lowest frequency,

Given: f = 25 Hz, v = 343 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

λ = 343/25

λ = 13.72 m.

For the highest frequency,

Given: f = 25 kHz = 25000 Hz, v = 343 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

λ = 343/25000

λ = 0.01372 m.

The wavelength of sound for 25 Hz and 25 kHz = 13.72 m and 0.01372 m respectively

A 7600 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.35 m/s2 and feels no appreci
ollegr [7]

Answer:

a) The rocket reaches a maximum height of 737.577 meters.

b) The rocket will come crashing down approximately 17.655 seconds after engine failure.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that rocket accelerates uniformly in the two stages. First, rocket is accelerates due to engine and second, it is decelerated by gravity.

1st Stage - Engine

Given that initial velocity, acceleration and travelled distance are known, we determine final velocity (v), measured in meters per second, by using this kinematic equation:

v = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2} +2\cdot a\cdot \Delta s} (1)

Where:

a - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

\Delta s - Travelled distance, measured in meters.

v_{o} - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, a = 2.35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and \Delta s = 595\,m, the final velocity of the rocket is:

v = \sqrt{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+2\cdot \left(2.35\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (595\,m)}

v\approx 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}

The time associated with this launch (t), measured in seconds, is:

t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}

t = \frac{52.882\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}}{2.35\,\frac{m}{s} }

t = 22.503\,s

2nd Stage - Gravity

The rocket reaches its maximum height when final velocity is zero:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2\cdot a\cdot (s-s_{o}) (2)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

v - Final speed, measured in meters per second.

a - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

s_{o} - Initial height, measured in meters.

s - Final height, measured in meters.

If we know that v_{o} = 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and s_{o} = 595\,m, then the maximum height reached by the rocket is:

v^{2} -v_{o}^{2} = 2\cdot a\cdot (s-s_{o})

s-s_{o} = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}

s = s_{o} + \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}

s = 595\,m + \frac{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(52.882\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}

s = 737.577\,m

The rocket reaches a maximum height of 737.577 meters.

b) The time needed for the rocket to crash down to the launch pad is determined by the following kinematic equation:

s = s_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2} (2)

Where:

s_{o} - Initial height, measured in meters.

s - Final height, measured in meters.

v_{o} - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

a - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that s_{o} = 595\,m, v_{o} = 52.882\,\frac{m}{s}, s = 0\,m and a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the time needed by the rocket is:

0\,m = 595\,m + \left(52.882\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot t^{2}

-4.904\cdot t^{2}+52.882\cdot t +595 = 0

Then, we solve this polynomial by Quadratic Formula:

t_{1}\approx 17.655\,s, t_{2} \approx -6.872\,s

Only the first root is solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the rocket will come crashing down approximately 17.655 seconds after engine failure.
