A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant acceleration 58.8m/s2 . The accel

eration period lasts for time 7.00s until the fuel is exhausted. After that, the rocket is in free fall.
Find the maximum height ymax reached by the rocket. Ignore air resistance and assume a constant acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.80 m/s2 .

Split the operation in two parts. Part A) constant acceleration 58.8m/s^2, Part B) free fall.

Part A)
Height reached, y = a*[t^2] / 2 = 58.8 m/s^2 * [7.00 s]^2 / 2 = 1440.6 m

Now you need the final speed to use it as initial speed of the next part.

Vf = Vo + at = 0 + 58.8m/s^2 * 7.00 s = 411.6 m/s

Part B) Free fall

Maximum height, y max ==> Vf = 0

Vf = Vo - gt ==> t = [Vo - Vf]/g = 411.6 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 42 s

ymax = yo + Vo*t - g[t^2] / 2

ymax = 1440.6 m + 411.6m/s * 42 s - 9.8m/s^2 * [42s]^2 /2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 17287.2m - 8643.6m = 10084.2 m

Answer: ymax = 10084.2m

Two equal magnitude electric charges are separated by a distance d. The electric potential at the midpoint between these two cha
Ann [662]

Answer:

The charges under study are of the same sign

The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges

Explanation:

Let's start by writing the equation for the electric field

          E = k q / r²

where q is the charge under analysis and r the distance from this charge to a positive test charge.

When analyzing the statement the student has some problems.

* The charges under study are of the same sign, it does not matter if positive or negative.

* The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges for the calculation of the electric field.

* What is added is the interaction of the electric field with the positive test charge, in this case each field has the opposite direction to the other, so the vector sum gives zero

A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 6.4 m/s. It travels for 0.64 seconds, and has a change of position of 2
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

V = 0.9 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are:

Initial velocity U = 6.4 m/s

Time t = 0.64s

Height h = 2.05 m

To find the final velocity, let us use third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Since the ball is going upward, g will be negative

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V^2 = 6.4^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 2.05

V^2 = 40.96 - 40.18

V^2 = 0.78

V = sqrt( 0.78)

V = 0.883 m/ s

V = 0.9 m/ s approximately

What's the formula to find out power
Julli [10]

In general, 

                 Power = (energy moved) / (time to move the energy) .

If it's mechanical power, then     

                 Power = (work done) / (time to do the work) .

If it's electrical power, then it can be any one of these:

                 Power  =  (volts)  x  (amperes)

                 Power  =  (volts)²  /  (resistance, ohms)

                 Power  =  (amperes)²  x  (resistance, ohms) .

Whatever kind of energy you're dealing with, power always
turns out to be

                  (amount of energy produced, used, or moved)
divided by
                  (time taken to produce, use, or move the energy) .
