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.

N 1800kg car has an<br> of 3.8m/s? What is it<br> on the car?<br> acceleration<br> force acting
nevsk [136]

Answer:

6840 N

Explanation:

The force acting on the car can be found by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on the car

m is the mass of the car

a is its acceleration

For the car in this problem,

m = 1800 kg

a=3.8 m/s^2

Substituting,

F=(1800)(3.8)=6840 N

What kind of water temperature lowers the dissolved oxygen
ehidna [41]
<h3>Answer</h3>

At a high temperature above 20° oxygen solubility starts to decrease.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Oxygen, O2 is a very essential component of water as we can see in its chemical formula h2O.

The solubility of oxygen decreases as temperature increases. This means that warmer water will have less dissolved oxygen than does cooler water.

<h3>Other factors that affects oxygen solubility in water</h3>

Salt levels

higher the salt levels in water, lower will be oxygen in it.

Pressure

Water at lower altitudes can hold more dissolved oxygen than water at higher altitudes because dissolved oxygen will increase as pressure increases.

lesya [120]

Answer:

This question is about matching each definition with its correct term. Please find the term matched with their appropriate definition below.

Explanation:

1. Empirical evidence: An empirical evidence is an observational evidence i.e an evidence gathered by observation or use of senses.

2. Dependent variable: Dependent variable is an experimental factor that changes in response to a change in the independent variable. In other words, it is dependent on the independent variable.

3. Applied research: Applied research is a type of research oriented at solving a present problem or need. It encompasses the production of products that can be sold for profit.

4. Hypothesis: A hypothesis in an experiment is a proposed explanation for a scientific problem that itself can be tested by experimentation. A hypothesis aims at providing a testable explanation to an observed problem.

5. Control: A control is a quantity in an experiment that remains unchanged or constant. It is kept the same by the experimenter for all groups in the experiment in order not to influence the outcome.

6. Basic research: Basic research is the research that expands knowledge in a particular area. It is the kind of research that aims at filling a knowledge void or satiating curiosity.

7. Independent variable: The independent variable is the experimental factor that is changed or manipulated deliberately by the scientist.
