You throw a rock straight up into the air with a speed of 14.2 m/s. how long does it take the rock to reach its highest point?

The acceleration of gravity on or near the Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s² downward.
Is that right ?           I don't hear any objection, so I'll assume that it is.

That means that during every second that gravity is the only force on an object,
the object either gains 9.8m/s of downward speed, or it loses 9.8m/s of upward
speed.   (The same thing.)

If the rock starts out going up at 14.2 m/s, and loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed
every second, it runs out of upward gas in (14.2/9.8) = <em>1.449 seconds</em> (rounded)

At that point, since it has no more upward speed, it can't go any higher.  Right ?

(crickets . . .)

Question 24
Verizon [17]
Q 24: Newton's first law of motion states that anything that stands still will stay still unless unbalanced force is acted upon that object. Newton's second law of motion states that the velocity of an object changes when subjected to external Force. Newton's third law of motion says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. when bumper cars crash into each other one car goes one way and the other goes the other way.

Q 25: if the bumper cars doubled their Mass the motion would be halfed but if the net force is doubled the motion will double.

A 200 kg weather rocket is loaded with 100 kg of fuel and fired straight up. It accelerates upward at 35 m/s2 for 35 s , then ru
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

T = 295.57 s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the rocket = 200 Kg

mass of the fuel = 100 Kg

acceleration = 35 m/s²

time, t = 35 s

time taken by the rocket to hit the ground, = ?

Final speed of the rocket when fuel is empty

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 0 + 35 x 35

v = 1225 m/s

height of the rocket where fuel is empty

v² = u² + 2 a s

1225² = 0 + 2 x 35 x h₁

h₁ = 21437.5 m

After 35 s the rocket will be moving upward till the final velocity becomes zero.

Now, using equation of motion to find the height after 35 s

v² = u² + 2 g h₂

0² = 1225² + 2 x (-9.8) h₂

h₂ = 76562.5 m

total height = h₁ + h₂

          = 76562.5 m + 21437.5 m = 98000 m

now, time taken by before the rocket hit the ground

using equation of motion

s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

-13500 = 1225 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times t^2

negative sign is used because the distance travel by the rocket is downward.

4.9 t² - 1225 t - 13500 = 0

t = \dfrac{-(-1225)\pm \sqrt{1225^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-13500)}}{2\times 4.9}

t = 260.57 s

neglecting the negative sign

total time the rocket was in air

T = t₁ + t₂

T = 35 + 260.57

T = 295.57 s

Time for which rocket was in air is equal to 295.57 s.

Importance of simple machines pleasecgive answer in points​
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The inclined plane

An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.

The lever

A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.

The wedge

A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.

The wheel and axle

A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.

Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)

Kelly is riding a bicycle, moves with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. Ten seconds later, she is moving at 15 m/s. What is her acce
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

her acceleration is 1 m/sec

Explanation:

The following information is given in the question

The initial velocity is 5 m/s

After 10 seconds, she would be moved at 15 m/s

We need to find the acceleration

As we know that

Acceleration = Change in speed ÷ time

Acceleration = (15 - 5) ÷ (10)

= 1 m/sec

Hence, her acceleration is 1 m/sec

The same would be considered

What number on this diagram refers to the tick marks for the dependent variable?
givi [52]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's 3.

Explanation:

Because if you look at your options the only that would be relevant to tick marks would be either 4 or 3. And it said in the question that we're looking for the one for the dependent variable. And the dependent variable is on the Y- Axis and the 3 is the tick marks for the y-axis. So your answer is 3.
