During launches, rockets often discard unneeded parts. A certain rocket starts from rest on the launch pad and accelerates upwar

d at a steady 3.10 m/s^2. When it is 240 m above the launch pad, it discards a used fuel canister by simply disconnecting it. Once it is disconnected, the only force acting on the canister is gravity (air resistance can be ignored). A)How high is the rocket when the canister hits the launch pad, assuming that the rocket does not change its acceleration?
B)What total distance did the canister travel between its release and its crash onto the launch pad?

Answer:

a) 919 mts

b) 392 mts

Explanation:

In order to solve this, we will use the formulas of acceletared motion problems:

(1)Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\(2)Vf^2=Vo^2+2*a*y

We are looking to obtain the initial velocity of the canister right after it was relased, we will use formula (2):

Vf^2=(0)^2+2*(3.10)*(240)\\Vf=38.6 m/s

we need to calculate the time the canister takes to reach the ground, we will use formula (1):

0-240m=38.6*t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8m/s^2)*t^2\\\\-4.9*t^2+38.6*t+240=0\\t=11.9seconds

in order to know the new height of the rocket we have to use the formula (1) again:

Y=240+38.6*(11.9)+\frac{1}{2}*(3.10)*(11.9)^2\\Y=919mts

We can calulate the total distance the canister traveled before reach the ground by (2):

(0)^2=(38.6)^2+2*(-9.8)*y\\Y=76m

So the canister will go up another 76m, so the total distance will be:

Yc=Yup+Ydown+240m\\Yc=76+76+240\\Yc=392 mts

Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maxi
Korolek [52]

Answer:

2C  charge will flow from ground and cloud

Explanation:

We have given rate rate of flow of charge \frac{dq}{dt}=20000C/sec

Time is given as t=100\mu sec=100\times 10^{-6}=10^{-4}sec

WE have to find the how much charge flows between the ground and cloud in this time

So the charge flow is given by \frac{dq}{dt}\times t=20000C/sec\times 10^{-4}=2C

So 2C  charge will flow from ground and cloud

Look at the periodic table which statement about the elements on the periodic table is true
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: B

Explanation:

The reactivity of alkaline metal ( example group one ) increases down the group because of the increase in atomic mass from the top to the bottom of the group. As the mass increases, the force between the nucleus and the valence electron gets weaker and the atom will easily give up the electron as a result of this which eventually increases its reactivity.

The reactivity of halogens decreases as atomic mass increases. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

A car was driving at a speed of 10 m/s. In 3 seconds, it accelerated to a speed of 50 m/s. Calculate the car's acceleration.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 13.3 \ m/s^2}}

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. It is the change in velocity over the change in time, and it is calculated using the following formula.

a= \frac{ v_f-v_i}{t}

The car starts at a speed of 10 meters per second, then it accelerates to a speed of 50 meters per second. It achieves this acceleration in 3 seconds.

  • v_f= 50 m/s
  • v_i= 10 m/s
  • t= 3 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

a= \frac{50 \ m/s - 10 \ m/s}{3 \ s}

Solve the numerator.

  • 50 m/s -10 m/s= 40 m/s

a= \frac{40 \ m/s}{3 \ s}

Divide.

a= 13.3333333 \ m/s/s

a \approx 13.3 \ m/s^2

The car's acceleration is approximately <u>13.3 meters per second squared.</u>

A thermostat is able to control the heating systems in a home by using which of the following properties of metals?
Kryger [21]
Answer: option 1. thermal expansion and contraction.

The thermostat uses the thermal expansion and contraction of metals: when the metal expands it acts as a switch, a coiled ribbon expands and the electric circuit is off, then the current stops. When the temperatures decrease, the coiled ribbon contracts and the circuit is on, then the current starts to flow and the resistance starts to radiate heat.

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 54.0 mm in height and 55.0 mm in diameter. what is the density of the material
denis-greek [22]

The radius of the cylinder is equal to half the diameter:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{55.0 mm}{2}=27.5 mm

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

V=\pi r^2 h=\pi (27.5 mm)^2 (54.0 mm)=1.28 \cdot 10^5 mm^3

where h is the heigth of the cylinder. Converting into meters,

V=1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3

And the density of the material will be given by the ratio between the mass and the volume:

d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{1 kg}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3}=7812.5 kg/m^3
