Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims

that it will maintain a constant thrust of 12.3 N 12.3 N until the engine is used up. Robert launches the rocket on a windless day, so that it travels straight up, and uses his laser range‑finder to meaure that the height of the rocket when the engine cuts off is 10.2 m 10.2 m . He also measures the rocket's peak height, which is 14.7 m 14.7 m . If the rocket has a mass of 0.663 kg 0.663 kg , how much work is done by the drag force on the rocket during its ascent?

Answer:

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force F = 12.3 N

Displacement d = 10.2 m

Mass of rocket m = 0.663 Kg

From work energy theorem,

  W = \Delta K

 W_{t} - Wd - W_{g} = KE

Where W_{t} = thrust work W_{g} = gravitational work

KE = 12.3 \times 10.2 -Wd - 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 10.2

KE = 59.2 -Wd

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

KE = Wd' + mg\Delta h

Put value of KE

59.2 -Wd = Wd' + 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 4.5

Work done by drag force is given by,

Wd'+Wd =  59.2 -29.23

                 = 29.96 J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

A man claims that he can hold onto a 16.0-kg child in a head-on collision as long as he has his seat belt on. Consider this man
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

F = -8440.12 N

the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child is 8440.12 N

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of child m = 16 kg

Speed of each car v = 59.0 mi/h = 26.37536 m/s

Time t = 0.05s

Applying the impulse momentum equation;

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = ∆(mv)

F = ∆(mv)/t

F = m(∆v)/t

Where;

F = force

t = time

m = mass

v = velocity

Since the final speed of the car is zero(at rest) then;

∆v = 0 - v = -26.37536 m/s

Substituting the given values;

F = 16×-26.37536/0.05

F = -8440.1152 N

F = -8440.12 N

the magnitude of the average force needed to hold onto the child is 8440.12 N

Compute the density in g/cm? of a piece of metal that has a mass of 0.450 kg and a volume of 52 cm3
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Ro = 8.65 [g/cm³]

Explanation:

We must remember that density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume.

Ro=m/V

where:

m = mass = 0.450 [kg] = 450 [g]

V = volumen = 52 [cm³]

Ro = density [g/cm³]

Now replacing:

Ro = 450/52\\Ro = 8.65 [g/cm^{3} ]

A person driving her car at 48 km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

She must stop the car  before interception, distance traveled 12.66 m

Explanation:

We will take all units to the SI system

Vo = 48Km / h (1000m / 1Km) (1h / 3600s) = 13.33 m / s

V2 = 70 Km / h = 19.44 m / s

We calculate the distance traveled before stopping

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

Time is what it takes traffic light to turn red  is t = 2.0 s

X = 13.33 2 + 1.2 (-7) 2²

X = 12.66 m

It stops car before reaching the traffic light turning to red

Let's analyze what happens if you accelerate, let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle

     V2 = Vo + a t2

      a = (V2-Vo) / t2

      a = (19.44-13.33) /6.6

      a = 0.926 m / s2

This is the acceleration to try to pass the interception, now let's calculate the distance it travels in the time the traffic light changes from yellow to red (t = 2.0 s)

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

X = 13.33 2 + ½ 0.926 2²

X = 28.58 m

Since the vehicle was 30 m away, the interception does not happen
