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 very small tilt in Earth’s axis would likely cause ____.
olchik [2.2K]
If the Earth's axis were closer to "straight up and down" than
the present 23.5°, then . . .

-- The areas around the north and south poles where the sun
can be up or down for more than 24 hours would be smaller.

-- The "Tropic Zone", between the Tropic of Cancer and the
Tropic of Capricorn, where it's possible for the sun to be
directly overhead, would be narrower.

-- There would be less difference, everywhere, between the
lengths of daylight on the "longest day" and the "shortest day"
of the year.

-- The seasons would be less extreme everywhere.  There would
be less difference, everywhere, between the coldest part of the
Winter and the warmest part of the Summer.

A .71-kg billiard ball moving at 2.5 m/s in the x-direction strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the
Finger [1]

After the collision, the momentum didn't change, so the total momentum in x and y are the same as the initial.

The x component was calculated by subtracting the initial momentum (total) minus the momentum of the first ball after the collision

In the y component, as at the beginning, the total momentum was 0 in this axis, the sum of both the first and struck ball has to be the same in opposite directions. In other words, both have the same magnitude but in opposite directions

\begin{gathered} Py=0.71kg\cdot2.17\cdot sin(30) \\ Py=0.77kg\cdot m/s \end{gathered}

This is for both balls after the collision, but one goes in a positive and the other in a negative direction.

A mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an
Nadya [2.5K]
Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is 
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
   = (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
   = 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

Which health related fitness component is tested in the curl-up test
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Curl up test.

Explanation:

The curl up test is done to check the strength of the abdomen muscles and the stability of the core muscles. The strength of the core muscles determines the stability of the body.

The curl up test is done to test the abdomen strength and endurance and the strength of the back muscles.

The test requires the following materials: A flat cushioned surface(clean) and a measuring strip

  • The measuring strip is placed on the mat under the students legs so that their fingertips are just resting on the nearest edge of the measuring strip. The feet cannot be held or rest against an object. Keeping heels in contact with the mat, the student curls up slowly, sliding their fingers across the measuring strip until the fingertips reach the other side, then curls back down until their head touches the mat. There should be 20 curl-ups per minute
