Answer:

-time it takes for the sled to come to a stop after launch of rocket = 7.244 s

-distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is = 234.8655 m

Explanation:

From the question, looking at the motion while accelerating, we have;

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s

Acceleration; a = 13.5 m/s²

Time; t = 3.3 s

Let's use first equation of motion to find final velocity (v).

v = u + at

v = 0 + (13.5 × 3.3)

v = 44.55 m/s

In this forward direction, let's calculate the displacement(d1) using newton's 3rd equation of motion.

d1 = ut + ½at²

d1 = 0(3.3) + ½(13.5 × 3.3²)

d1 = 73.5075 m

Now, let's consider the motion while slowing down and our final velocity will be 0 m/s while initial velocity will now be 44.55 m/s while acceleration is 6.15 m/s².

Thus, from v = u + at, we can find the time it take for the sled to come to a stop.

Now, since it's coming to rest acceleration will be negative. Thus;

0 = 44.55 + (-6.15t)

0 = 44.55 - 6.15t

t = 44.55/6.15

t = 7.244 s

Now we want to find out how far the sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest.

Thus, we'll use the equation;

v² = u² + 2as

Where s will be the second displacement which we will call d2.

Thus;

0² = 44.55² + (-2 × 6.15 × s)

0 = 1984.7025 - 12.3s

12.3s = 1984.7025

s = 1984.7025/12.3

s = 161.358

Thus, d2 = s = 161.358 m

Thus, distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is ;

= d1 + d2 = 73.5075 + 161.358 = 234.8655 m

A 60 kg acrobat is in the middle of a 10 m long tightrope. The center of the rope dropped 30 cm in relation to the ends that are
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The tension in each half of the rope, is approximately 4,908.8 N

Explanation:

The mass of the acrobat, m = 60 kg

The length of the rope, l = 10 m

The extent by which the center dropped = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Let, 'T' represent the tension in each half of the rope

Weight, W = Mass, m × The acceleration due to gravity, g

∴ W = m × g

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The weight of the acrobat, W = 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 588 N

The angle the dropped rope makes with the horizontal, θ is given as follows;

θ = arctan((0.3 m)/(5 m)) = arctan(0.06) ≈ 3.434°

At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces, \Sigma F_y = 0

The vertical component of the tension, T_y, in each half of the rope is given as follows;

T_y = T × sin(θ)

∴ \Sigma F_y = W + T × sin(θ) + T × sin(θ) = W + 2 × T × sin(θ)

Plugging in the values, with θ = arctan(0.06) for accuracy, we get;

588 N + 2 × T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 0

∴ 2 × -T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 588 N

-T= 588 N/(2 × sin(arctan(0.06)) = 4,908.81208 N ≈ 4,908.8 N

The tension in each half of the rope, T ≈ 4,908.8 N.

A centripetal force causes circular motion because it accelerates an object
MAVERICK [17]

The answer is option A.

Centripetal force is always directed towards the centre and does not change the speed of the body,but there is a change in the direction.

A 10 kg cart is rolling across a parking lot with a velocity of .5 m/s. What is its momentum?
-Dominant- [34]

Hello!

\large\boxed{p = 5  \text{ } kgm/s}

Use the equation for momentum:

p = mv

Plug in the given mass and velocity into the equation:

p = 10 * 0.5

p = 5 kgm/ s
