Answer:

a = 200 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The initial speed of rocket-powered sled, u = 0

The final speed of rocket-powered sled, v = 440 m/s

Time taken to reach final speed, t = 2.20 s

The acceleration of the body is given by the change in velocity by time

a = (v - u) / t

= (440 - 0) / 2.20

= 200 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the rocket-powered sled, a = 200 m/s²

Explain how scientist learned about the magnetic poles of the Earth.

maks197457 [2]

Answer: Larmor suggested in 1919 that a self-exciting dynamo could explain the magnetic field of the earth, as well as that of the sun and other stars, but it was Elsasser and Bullard in the 1940s who showed how motion in the liquid core of the earth might produce a self-sustaining magnetic field. By this time seismology and other studies had given a clearer picture of the earth, as having a solid inner core, a liquid outer core, both with a composition more of metal (mainly iron) than rock, and a rocky mantle, all below a thin crust that is all we can directly see. Energy from radioactivity travels outwards as heat, producing thermal convection in the core. It seems that this convection is the cause of the earth's magnetic field, although our knowledge of the core and its dynamics is sketchy. Our knowledge is limited to saying that flow regimes like those that may be occurring in the core can produce self-sustaining dynamos, with characteristics similar to that needed to produce the earth’s magnetic field.

Answer:

The answer is 3.33m

Explanation:

The acceleration "a" is constant.

Acceleration is the variation of velocity over time,

$\frac{dv}{dt} = a$ .

solving the last equation

$\int_{v_0}^v dv = a\int_0^t dt \rightarrow v-v_0 = at$ ,

where $v_0=0$ because the airplane starts from rest.

Once again, velocity is the variation of distance over time.

$\frac{dx}{dt} = at \rightarrow \int_{x_0}^x dx = a\int_0^t t\ dt$

then

$x- x_0 = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where $x_0=0$ if we consider the end of the runway as the initial point (this step is for simplicity but you can let it expressed, it's going to cancel anyway).
