A rocket is fired straight upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.0 m/s^2. It runs out of fuel at the end of 4.00

s and continues to coast upward, reaching a maximum height before falling back to earth. (a) Find the rocket height and velocity when it runs out of fuel. (b) Find the maximum height the rocket reaches. (c) Find the velocity the instant before the rocket crashes into the ground. (d) Find the total elapsed time from launch to ground impact.

Answer:

a) 200m, 100m/s

b) 710.20m

c) -117.98 m/s

d) 26.24 s

Explanation:

To solve this we have to use the formulas corresponding to a uniformly accelerated motion problem:

$V=Vo+a*t$ (1)

$X=Xo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\$ (2)

$V^2=Vo^2+2*a*X$ (3)

where:

Vo is initial velocity

Xo=intial position

V=final velocity

X=displacement

a)

$X=0+0*4+\frac{1}{2}*25*4^2$

the intial position is zero because is lauched from the ground and the intial velocitiy is zero because it started from rest.

$X=200m$

$V=0+25*4$

$V=100m/s$

b)

The intial velocity is 100m/s we know that because question (a) the acceleration is -9.8 $\frac{m}{s^2}$ because it is going downward.

$0=100^2+2*(-9.8)*X\\X=510.20\\totalheight=200+510.20=710.20m$

c)

In order to find the velocity when it crashes, we can use the formula (3).

the initial velocity is 0 because in that moment is starting to fall.

$V^2=0^2+2*(-9.8)*(710.20)\\V=-117.98 m/s$

the minus sign means that the object is going down.

d)

We can find the total amount of time adding the first 4 second and the time it takes to going down.

to calculate the time we can use the formula (2) setting the reference at 200m:

$-200=0+100*t+\frac{1}{2}*(-9.8)*t^2$

solving this we have: time taken= 22.24 seconds

total time is:

total=22.24+4=26.24 seconds.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Ty has two pet mice. One mouse has the gene for black fur color and the other mouse has the gene for white fur color. The female mouse is pregnant now, and Ty wonders what color or colors the baby mice will be. Read each offspring description phrase below and select the correct pattern of dominance for each.

___ all white fur offspring, white fur in this case is dominant

___ all gray fur offspring, this is incomplete dominant.

___ all black fur offspring, this is black fur dominantice

___ all black and white offspring, this is codominance .

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance: Incomplete dominance is when a dominant allele, or form of a gene, does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele, and the organism's resulting physical appearance shows a blending of both alleles. It is also called semi-dominance or partial dominance.

Codominance: Codominance is a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele usually will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.

Give an example of a force applied to an object that does not change the object's velocity. Why does the object's velocity not c

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A chair at rest on the floor has two forces acting on it its own weight that pulls it downward and the floor pushing upward on the chair, both of these forces are acting on it but the net force is 0, so the chair remains at rest and its velocity stays at 0.

After a collision between two different massed objects; the larger objects accelerate at a faster rate than the smaller object?

Nitella [24]

Answer: Things continue doing what they are doing unless a force is applied to it. Objects have a natural tendency to resist change. This is INERTIA. Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects, so true

Explanation:

Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop. The Cadillac has more of a tendency to stay stationary (or continue moving), and resist a change in motion than a bicycle.

Six identical resistors are connected in series with a battery. The number of joules per second supplied by the battery is then

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The expression for the power in terms of work done is as follows;

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

Here, W is the work done, t is the time taken and P is the power.

According to the given problem, six identical resistors are connected in series with a battery. The number of joules per second supplied by the battery is then determined.

The expression for the equivalent resistance in the series combination is as follows;

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{6}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{6}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=6R

It is given in the problem that a seventh resistor is added (in series).

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{7}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{7}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=7R

The expression for the power in terms of voltage and resistance is as follows;

$P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}$

Here, R is the resistance.

From the above expression, it can be concluded that the power, the number of joules per second supplied by the battery is inversely proportional to the resistance. The equivalent resistance increases if the seventh resistance is connected with a battery.

If a seventh resistor is added (in series) the number of joules per second supplied by the battery decreases.

Therefore, the option (b) is correct.
