A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).
A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. We can divide its initial movement into 2 parts:
- From t = 0 min to t = 2.0 min, the SRB and the main engines act together and the speed goes from 0 m/s (rest) to 1341 m/s.
- From t = 2.0 min to t = 8.5 min, the main engines alone accelerate the ship form 1341 m/s to 7600 m/s.
We want to know the acceleration in the first part (first 2.0 minutes). We need to consider that:
- The speed increases from 0 m/s to 1341 m/s.
- The time elpased is 2.0 min.
- 1 min = 60 s.
The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is:

Answer:

Explanation:
We can use Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to solve this problem:
., where
is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface,
is gravitational constant
,
is the mass of the planet, and
is the radius of the planet.
Since acceleration due to gravity is given as
, our radius should be meters. Therefore, convert
kilometers to meters:
.
Now plugging in our values, we get:
,
Solving for
:
.
Average speed=total distance travelled/time
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
A. 4
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>The period of a wave or periodic time is the time taken for a complete oscillation to occur. </u></em>For example its is the time taken between two successive crests or troughs.
- <em><u>The beats or oscillation that occur in one second represents the frequency. Frequency is the number of complete oscillations or beats in one second in a wave.</u></em>
- Frequency, measured in Hertz is given by the reciprocal of the periodic time.
- Thus; <u><em>Frequency or beats per second = 1/(1/4) = 4</em></u>
- <u><em>Hence , 4 beats per second</em></u>
