Explain how a theodolite works.

The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.

A car is moving in the positive direction along a straight highway and accelerates at a constant rate while going from point A t

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The time where the avergae speed equals the instaneous speed is T/2

Explanation:

The velocity of the car is:

v(t) = v0 + at

Where v0 is the initial speed and a is the constant acceleration.

Let's find the average speed. This is given integrating the velocity from 0 to T and dividing by T:

$v_{ave} = \frac{1}{T}\int\limits^T_0 {v(t)} \, dt$

v_ave = v0+a(T/2)

We can esaily note that when <u><em>t=T/2</em></u><u><em> </em></u>

v(T/2)=v_ave

Now we want to know where the car should be, the osition of the car is:

$x(t) = x_A + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

Where x_A is the position of point A. Therefore, the car will be at:

<u><em>x(T/2) = x_A + v_0 (T/2) + (1/8)aT^2</em></u>

3. A model rocket takes 0.05 seconds to speed up from rest to its maximum velocity of 80 m/s.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

$1600 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time it took to produce such change. The formula then reads:

$a = \frac{change-in-velocity}{time} = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}$

Where Vf is the final velocity of the object, (in our case 80 m/s)

Vi is the initial velocity of the object (in our case 0 m/s because the object was at rest)

and t is the time it took to change from the Vi to the Vf (in our case 0.05 seconds.

Therefore we have:

$a = \frac{80 m/s - 0 m/s}{0.05 sec} = 1600 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Notice that the units of acceleration in the SI system are $\frac{m}{s^2}$ (meters divided square seconds)
