Answer:

a) The velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuel is 67 m/s

b) It takes the rocket 21 s to reach an altitude of 725 m

c) The maximum altitude of the rocket is 954 m

d) and e) It takes the rocket 28 s to reach the maximum altitude.

f) The rocket is 42 s in the air.

Explanation:

The equations for the height of the rocket are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

and, when the rocket runs out of fuel:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the rocket at time t

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

a = acceleration due to engine of the rocket.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

t = time

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the launching point.

b) First, let´s calculate the time it takes the rocket to reach an altitude of 725 m:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²           (y0 = 0, v0 = 0)

725 m = 1/2 · 3.2 m/s² · t²

725 m / 1/2 · 3.2 m/s² = t²

<u>t = 21 s</u>

a)The velocity of the rocket is given by the following equation:

v = v0 + a · t     (v0 = 0)

v = 3.2 m/s² · 21 s = <u>67 m/s</u>

c) After the rocket runs out of fuel, it starts slowing down until it comes to stop and starts to fall. Let´s calculate the time it takes the rocket to stop after running out of fuel. At that time, the rocket will be at its maximum height.

v = v0 + g · t

0 m/s = 67 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

-67 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 6.8 s

The altitude reached after running out of fuel will be:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 725 m + 67 m/s · 6.8 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (6.8 s)²

y = 954 m

d) and e)

The maximum altitude will be reached after (21 s + 6.8 s) 28 s

f) Now, let´s calculate how much time it takes the rocket to return to the ground (y = 0) from the max-altitude:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 m = 954 m + 0 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² ·t²

-954/- 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 14 s

The rocket was (28 s + 14 s) 42 s in the air.

A. Move the candle to the right, or the focal point to the left.

For a convex lens, the closer an object is to the focal point, the larger it’s image is (and therefore the greater the magnification is). The two ways you could make the candle be closer to the focal point are to move the candle to the right, or the focal point to the left.

A) The biggest astronomical object is the Universe, which contains billions of galaxies among which there is the Milky Way.
The Milky Way contains thousands of planetary systems, among which the Solar System.
The Solar System contains many <span>planets <span>(but only one star, the Sun)</span>,</span> among which there is Earth.
Therefore you can label:
A = Universe, B = Milky Way, C = Solar system, D = Earth

b) Given what we said before, you could label D also any other planet in the Solar System, therefore you can choose among Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

A 100 N force causes an object to accelerate at 2 m/s2. What is the mass of the<br> object?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

50 kg

Explanation:

Given,

Force ( F ) = 100 N

Acceleration ( a ) = 2 m/s^2

To find : Mass ( m ) = ?

Formula : -

F = ma

m = F / a

= 100 / 2

m = 50 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 50 kg.

The impulse was greater in the first experiment because the egg broke.

<h3>What is impulse?</h3>

The term impulse is defined a the product of the force and time. We know that the impulse is high when a large force acts for a short time.

From the experiment if the students, we can conclude that  the impulse was greater in the first experiment because the egg broke.
