As a science fair project, you want to launch an 950g model rocket straight up and hit a horizontally moving target as it passes

40.0m above the launch point. The rocket engine provides a constant thrust of 18.3N . The target is approaching at a speed of 19.0m/s . At what horizontal distance between the target and the rocket should you launch?

Answer:

55.28 m

Explanation:

Mass of the rocket = 950 g = 950 / 1000 = 0.95 kg

force of gravity = 0.95 Kg × 9.81 m/s² = 9.3195 N

force due to acceleration = 18.3 N - 9.3195 N = 8.9805 N

F = ma

acceleration of the rocket = F / m = 8.9805 N / 0.95 Kg = 9.45 m/s²

using the equation of motion

d = ut + 1/2 at² u = 0 m/s

d = 1/2 at²

t = √(2d / a) = √ ( 2 × 40 m /  9.45 m/s²) = 2.91 s

the horizontal distance between the target and the rocket = vt = 19 m/s × 2.91 s = 55.28 m

Determine the linear velocity of an object with an angular velocity of 5.9 radians per second at a distance of 12 centimeters fr
Andre45 [30]
The linear velocity of a rotating object is the product of the angular velocity and the radius of the circular motion. Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. From the problem, the angular velocity is 5.9 rad per second and the radius is given as 12 centimeters. We calculate as follows:

Linear velocity = angular velocity (radius)
Linear velocity = 5.9 (12 ) = 70.8 cm / s

The linear velocity of the body in motion is 70.8 centimeters per second or 0.708 meters per second.

What factor might be contributing to climate change
kirza4 [7]

Geological records stretching back millions of years indicate a number of large variations in Earth’s past climate. These have been caused by many natural factors, including changes in the sun, volcanoes, Earth’s orbit and CO2 levels.

However, comprehensive assessment by scientists shows that it is extremely likely that human activity has been the dominant cause of warming since the mid-20th Century.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

X-rays go all the way through the body, but ultraviolet rays do not.

Explanation:

An x-ray will show inside the body, but uv light isn't strong enough to go all the way through the body.

What's the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 10 and velocity of 200m/s?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 20 \ Hz}}

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where <em>f</em> is the frequency, <em>v</em> is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.

The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.

  • 1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1

Therefore:

v= 200 \ m*s^{-1} \\\lambda = 10 \ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

f=\frac{200 \ m*s^{-1}}{10 \ m}

Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.

f=\frac{200 \ s^{-1}}{10 \ }

f=20 \ s^{-1}

  • 1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
  • Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz

f= 20 \ Hz

The frequency of the wave is <u>20 Hertz</u>
