A rocket starting from its launch pad is subjected to a uniform acceleration of 100 meters/second2. Determine the time needed to

balandron [24]

The velocity is the integral of acceleration. If acceleration is 100 m/s^2 then velocity is:

$v= \int\limits^{}_{}100 \, dt=100t$

So to know the velocity at any time, t, we just put t in seconds into this equation. To know at what time we get to a certain velocity, we set this equation equal to that velocity and solve for t:

$100t = 1000 \\ \\ t= \frac{1000}{100} =10s$

Why is it important to study electromagnetic waves?

labwork [276]

The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.
