Classes are canceled due to snow, so you take advantage of the extra time to conduct some physics experiments. You fasten a larg

e toy rocket to the back of a sled, and take the modified sled to a large, flat, snowy field. You ignite the rocket, and observe that the sled accelerates from rest in the forward direction at a rate of 13.5 m/s2 for a time period of 3.30 s. After this time period, the rocket engine abruptly shuts off, and the sled subsequently undergoes a constant backward acceleration due to friction of 6.15 m/s2.After the rocket turns off, how much time does it take for the sled to come to a stop?By the time the sled finally comes to a rest, how far has it traveled from its starting point?

Answer:

-time it takes for the sled to come to a stop after launch of rocket = 7.244 s

-distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is = 234.8655 m

Explanation:

From the question, looking at the motion while accelerating, we have;

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s

Acceleration; a = 13.5 m/s²

Time; t = 3.3 s

Let's use first equation of motion to find final velocity (v).

v = u + at

v = 0 + (13.5 × 3.3)

v = 44.55 m/s

In this forward direction, let's calculate the displacement(d1) using newton's 3rd equation of motion.

d1 = ut + ½at²

d1 = 0(3.3) + ½(13.5 × 3.3²)

d1 = 73.5075 m

Now, let's consider the motion while slowing down and our final velocity will be 0 m/s while initial velocity will now be 44.55 m/s while acceleration is 6.15 m/s².

Thus, from v = u + at, we can find the time it take for the sled to come to a stop.

Now, since it's coming to rest acceleration will be negative. Thus;

0 = 44.55 + (-6.15t)

0 = 44.55 - 6.15t

t = 44.55/6.15

t = 7.244 s

Now we want to find out how far the sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest.

Thus, we'll use the equation;

v² = u² + 2as

Where s will be the second displacement which we will call d2.

Thus;

0² = 44.55² + (-2 × 6.15 × s)

0 = 1984.7025 - 12.3s

12.3s = 1984.7025

s = 1984.7025/12.3

s = 161.358

Thus, d2 = s = 161.358 m

Thus, distance sled has travelled from its starting point by the time it finally comes to rest is ;

= d1 + d2 = 73.5075 + 161.358 = 234.8655 m

A toroid having a square cross section, 5.49 cm on a side, and an inner radius of 18.1 cm has 450 turns and carries a current of
joja [24]

Answer:

(a) 4.27 x 10^-4 Telsa

(b) 3.28 x 10^-4 Telsa

Explanation:

side of square, a = 5.49 cm

inner radius, r = 18.1 cm = 0.181 m

number of turns,N = 450

current, i = 0.859 A

(a)

The magnetic field due to a solenoid due to inner radius is

B = \frac{\mu_{0}Ni}{2\pi r_{inner}}

B = \frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 450\times 0.859}{2\pi \times 0.181}

B = 4.27 x 10^-4 Telsa

(b)

The outer radius is R = 18.1 + 5.49 = 23.59 cm = 0.236 m

The magnetic field due to the outer radius is

B = \frac{\mu_{0}Ni}{2\pi r_{outer}}

B = \frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 450\times 0.859}{2\pi \times 0.236}

B = 3.28 x 10^-4 Tesla

Light travels at 3 × 108 m/s, and it takes about 8 min for light from the sun to travel to Earth. Based on this, the order of ma
N76 [4]

Answer:

The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.

Explanation:

The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth can be calculated as follows:

c = \frac{x}{t}

Where:

c: is the speed of light = 3x10⁸ m/s

t: is the time = 8 min

Hence, the distance is:

x = c*t = 3 \cdot 10^{8} m/s*8 min*\frac{60 s}{1 min} = 1.44 \cdot 10^{11} m = 1.44 \cdot 10^{8} km

Therefore, the order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.

I hope it helps you!
