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.

What is the wavelength associated with 0.113kg ball traveling with velocity of 43 m/s?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Wavelength = 1.36 * 10^{-34} meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 0.113 kg

Velocity = 43 m/s

To find the wavelength, we would use the De Broglie's wave equation.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Wavelength = \frac {h}{mv}

Where;

h represents Planck’s constant.

m represents the mass of the particle.

v represents the velocity of the particle.

We know that Planck’s constant = 6.6262 * 10^{-34} Js

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Wavelength = \frac {6.6262 * 10^{-34}}{0.113*43}

Wavelength = \frac {6.6262 * 10^{-34}}{4.859}

Wavelength = 1.36 * 10^{-34} meters

A light rope is attached to a block with mass 3.60 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope pass
Readme [11.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

(a) The fre-body diagrams for each block is shown below. In the block of mass 3.60 kg, there are 3 forces acting on it: horizontal force due to the rope (F_{t}), vertical gravitational force (F_{g}) and vertical normal force (F_{n}), due to the surface. Since there is no vertical movement, F_{g} and F_{n} cancels it out. So, for this block, net force is horizontal due to the rope F_{t}.

The block of mass m is hanging from the pulley, so there is the force of the rope (F_{t}) and the gravitational force (F_{g}). Both are vertical, because there is no surface "holding" block m.

(b) Since both blocks are attached to each other, the acceleration will be the same. To calculate it, we use the Second Law of Motion:

F_{r}=m.a

a=\frac{F_{r}}{m}

a=\frac{18.8}{3.6}

a = 5.22

The acceleration of either block is 5.22 m/s².

(c) Block m has 2 forces acting on it: tension and gravitational force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction the Earth does over an object. It is calculated as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration, which has magnitude g = 9.8 m/s².

Suppose positive referential is going up. To determine mass:

F_{r}=m.a

F_{t}-F_{g}=m.a

F_{t}-m.g=m.a

18.8-9.8m=5.22m

15.02m=18.8

m = 1.25

Block m has 1.25 kg.

(d) Gravitational force is also called weight. So, as described above: F_{g}=m.g.

The weight for the hanging block is

F_{g}=1.25*9.8

F_{g}= 12.25 N

Comparing tension and weight:

\frac{12.25}{18.8} ≈ 0.65

We can see that, weight of the hanging block is almost 0.65 times smaller than the tension on the rope.

I think this is AWESOME, but I think the last sentence of your conclusion is a bit off. <span> "If someone has an allergy to oil then they can still eat cake because applesauce makes an amazing substitute for oil." I think that you should say "This recipe is great for those who cannot eat/drink oil, the applesauce is an amazing substitute for oil."

I hope I helped! -Wajiha</span>
