A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first 10s of its motion, the vertical accelera
Naily [24]
Since the rocket’s acceleration is 3.00 m/s^3 * t, its acceleration is increasing at the rate of 3 m/s^3 each second. The equation for its velocity at a specific time is the integral of the acceleration equation. 

<span>vf = vi + 1.5 * t^2, vi = 0 </span>
<span>vf = 1.5 * 10^2 = 150 m/s </span>
This is the rocket’s velocity at 10 seconds. The equation for its height at specific time is the integral velocity equation

<span>yf = yi + 0.5 * t^3, yi = 0 </span>
<span>yf = 0.5 * 10^3 = 500 meters </span>
<span>This is the rocket’s height at 10 seconds. </span>

<span>Part B </span>
<span>What is the speed of the rocket when it is 345 m above the surface of the earth? </span>
<span>Express your answer with the appropriate units. </span>


<span>Use the equation above to determine the time. </span>

<span>345 = 0.5 * t^3 </span>
<span>t^3 = 690 </span>
<span>t = 690^⅓ </span>
<span>This is approximately 8.837 seconds. Use the following equation to determine the velocity at this time. </span>

<span>v = 1.5 * t^2 = 1.5 * (690^⅓)^2 </span>
<span>This is approximately 117 m/s. </span>


<span>The graph of height versus time is the graph of a cubic function. The graph of velocity is a parabola. The graph of acceleration versus time is line. The slope of the line is the coefficient of t. This is a very different type of problem. For the acceleration to increase, the force must be increasing. To see what this feels like slowly push the accelerator pedal of a car to the floor. Just don’t do this so long that your car is speeding!!</span>

A hula hoop is rolling along the ground with a translational speed of 26 ft/s. It rolls up a hill that is 16 ft high. Determine
nikklg [1K]

Answer:12.8 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of hoop v=26\ ft/s

height of top h=16\ ft

Initial energy at bottom is

E_b=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2

Where m=mass of hoop

I=moment of inertia of hoop

\omega=angular velocity

for pure rolling v=\omega R

I=mR^2

E_b=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mR^2\times (\frac{v}{R})^2

E_b=mv^2=m(26)^2=676m

Energy required to reach at top

E_T=mgh=m\times 32.2\times 16

E_T=512.2m

Thus 512.2 m is converted energy is spent to raise the potential energy of hoop and remaining is in the form of kinetic and rotational energy

\Delta E=676m-512.2m=163.8m

Therefore

163.8 m=mv^2

v=\sqrt{163.8}

v=12.798\approx 12.8\ ft/s

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 5.00 s, it rotates 14.8 rad. Du
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Initial θ = 0 rad (from rest)

Final θ = 14.3 rad

Time, t = 5 s

B.

Angular velocity, w = dθ / dt

= (14.3 - 0)/5

= 2.86 rad/s

A.

Acceleration, ao = dw/dt

Initial angular velocity, wi = 0 rad/s (from rest)

Final angular velocity, wf = 2.86 rad/s

a = (2.86 - 0)/5

= 0.572 rad/s^2

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. Its mass is 2
lbvjy [14]
Density = mass/volume, volume = mass/density.
Since the mass of the small cube equals 20 and the mass of the large cube is double it would be 40.
Now plug in volume = 40 g/(7.87 g/cm^3).
Thus giving you a volume 5.08 cm^3
