Answer:

Explanation:

Let the ball is thrown upwards with speed u and reaches upto height h.

Use III equation of motion

$v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh$

here, final velocity v = 0

So, $u = \sqrt{2gh}$

Now as the ball reaches the maximum height, it starts falling freely. Let it strkes with the ground with velocity v'.

$v'^{2}=u^{2}-2gh$

here, u = 0

So, $v' = \sqrt{2gh}$

It means the velocity is same as the velocity of projection.

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.

kow [346]

Before the engines fail, the rocket's altitude at time <em>t</em> is given by

$y_1(t)=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2$

and its velocity is

$v_1(t)=80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t$

The rocket then reaches an altitude of 1150 m at time <em>t</em> such that

$1150\,\mathrm m=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2$

Solve for <em>t</em> to find this time to be

$t=11.2\,\mathrm s$

At this time, the rocket attains a velocity of

$v_1(11.2\,\mathrm s)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

When it's in freefall, the rocket's altitude is given by

$y_2(t)=1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and its velocity is

$v_2(t)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt$

(a) After the first 11.2 s of flight, the rocket is in the air for as long as it takes for $y_2(t)$ to reach 0:

$1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=32.6\,\mathrm s$

So the rocket is in motion for a total of 11.2 s + 32.6 s = 43.4 s.

(b) Recall that

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y$

where $v_f$ and $v_i$ denote final and initial velocities, respecitively, $a$ denotes acceleration, and $\Delta y$ the difference in altitudes over some time interval. At its maximum height, the rocket has zero velocity. After the engines fail, the rocket will keep moving upward for a little while before it starts to fall to the ground, which means $y_2$ will contain the information we need to find the maximum height.

$-\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2g(y_{\rm max}-1150\,\mathrm m)$

Solve for $y_{\rm max}$ and we find that the rocket reaches a maximum altitude of about 1930 m.

(c) In part (a), we found the time it takes for the rocket to hit the ground (relative to $y_2(t)$ ) to be about 32.6 s. Plug this into $v_2(t)$ to find the velocity before it crashes:

$v_2(32.6\,\mathrm s)=-196\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

That is, the rocket has a velocity of 196 m/s in the downward direction as it hits the ground.

A(n)___________is a combination of substances that are combined physically but not chemically.

Sedaia [141]

<span>The answer is heterogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture is a combination of substances that are combined physically but not chemically. This is a mixture that is not uniform in composition. Its components can easily be separated from one another. For example, pile of soil is a heterogeneous mixture because it consists of different components.</span>

The KE of a body becomes 2 times of its original value then the new momentum will be more than its initial momentum by

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

√2

Explanation:

If the final kinetic energy is 2 times the initial kinetic energy:

KE = 2 KE₀

½ mv² = 2 (½ mv₀²)

v² = 2 v₀²

v = √2 v₀

Therefore, the ratio of the final momentum to the initial momentum is:

p / p₀

mv / (mv₀)

v / v₀

√2
