A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant (net) acceleration 39.2 m/s^2. Th

e acceleration period lasts for time 10.0 ss until the fuel is exhausted. After that, the rocket is in free fall.
Required:
Find the maximum height ymax reached by the rocket.

Answer:

9800 m

Explanation:

During acceleration, given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 39.2 m/s²

t = 10.0 s

Find: v and Δy

v = at + v₀

v = (39.2 m/s²) (10.0 s) + 0 m/s

v = 392 m/s

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (10.0 s) + ½ (39.2 m/s²) (10.0 s)²

Δy = 1960 m

During free fall, given:

v₀ = 392 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (392 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 7840 m

Therefore, h = 1960 m + 7840 m = 9800 m.

The Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth at approximately 612,000m altitude. Its mass is 11,100 kg and the mass of earth is 5
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

7.55 km/s

Explanation:

The force of gravity between the Earth and the Hubble Telescope corresponds to the centripetal force that keeps the telescope in uniform circular motion around the Earth:

G\frac{mM}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m=11,100 kg is the mass of the telescope

M=5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg is the mass of the Earth

R=r+h=6.38\cdot 10^6 m+612,000 m=6.99\cdot 10^6 m is the distance between the telescope and the Earth's centre (given by the sum of the Earth's radius, r, and the telescope altitude, h)

v = ? is the orbital velocity of the Hubble telescope

Re-arranging the equation and substituting numbers, we find the orbital velocity:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{6.99\cdot 10^6 m}}=7548 m/s=7.55 km/s

Why is it important to consider the experimental error in all the empirical results presented?
irinina [24]

Answer:

It is very important because scientists, especially the ones with empirical experiments and results, are prone to error and the empirical data is in need to be under strict observation done not only by many scientists but also by expermiented ones. This guards everybody to change the parameters suddenly which can affect the real results of an experiment
