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

If you know how much radioactive material the organism had to begin with, explain how you could use half-life to determine its a
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: We can calculate it with the radioactive half life equation

Explanation:

If we already know the initial amount of radioactive material and its half life, we can leave that material for a specific known time and then measure how much of the material is left (since it follows the radioactive deacay) and use the results in the following formula:

A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{h}}  

Where:

A is the final amount of the material

A_{o} is the initial amount of the material

t is the time elapsed

h is the half life of the radioactive compound

The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 70 miles per hou
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Part A

it would take 6 sec

it would take 3 sec

Explanation:

We are told that the power supplied to the wheel is constant which means that the sport car is gaining energy i.e

                           power \ \alpha  \ energy

Hence if power is constantly supplied energy constantly increase

From the formula of the Kinetic energy

                       KE  = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

we can see that as the speed doubles from 29 mph  to 58 mph  the energy needed is 2^2 = 4 times of the energy from the formula

   Also the time needed would also be 4 times because energy i directly proportional to time

       Hence to reach 58mph the time that it would take is

                          = 4* 1.5sec = 6sec

     

We are told that the ground pushes the car  with a constant force and

                 F = ma

this means that the acceleration is also constant

             now from newtons law

     v = u +at  

 Looking at it we see that final velocity is directly proportional with time

hence it would take twice the time to reach twice the final velocity

        Time to reach 58mph = 3 s

        since time to reach 29 mph(\frac{1}{2} \ of \ [58mph]) =( \frac{1}{2} \ of \ 3sec )1.5 s

g as measured from the earth, a spacecraft is moving at speed .80c toward a second spacecraft moving at speed .60c back toward t
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

the speed of the first spacecraft as viewed from the second spacecraft is 0.95c

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of the first spacecraft from earth v_a = 0.80c

speed of the second spacecraft from earth v_b = -0.60 c

Using the formula for relative motion in relativistic mechanics

u' = ( v_a - v_b ) / ( 1 - (v_bv_a / c²) )

we substitute

u' = ( 0.80c - ( -0.60c)  ) / ( 1 - ( ( 0.80c × -0.60c) / c² ) )

u' = ( 0.80c + 0.60c ) /  ( 1 - ( -0.48c² / c² ) )

u' = 1.4c /  ( 1 - ( -0.48 ) )

u' = 1.4c /  ( 1 + 0.48 )

u' = 1.4c / 1.48

u' = 0.9459c ≈ 0.95c  { two decimal places }

Therefore, the speed of the first spacecraft as viewed from the second spacecraft is 0.95c
