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.

A certain 100W light bulb has an efficiency of 95%. How much thermal energy will this light bulb add to the inside of a room in
Usimov [2.4K]
Since the bulb consumes 100 watts of power and its efficiency is 95%,
it generates 95 watts of light energy and 5 watts of heat energy whenever
it's turned on.

5 watts means  5 joules of energy per second.

(2.5 hours) x (3,600 seconds/hour) =  9,000 seconds

(9,000 seconds) x (5 joules/second)  =  45,000 joules of heat in 2.5 hours

Emily uses a rifle to shoot a bullet at a target. The bullet has a mass of 13 grams. The rifle has a mass of 3,500 grams. When s
sp2606 [1]
Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.

the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have

11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 =  3.16 m /s^-2

Charge: A piece of plastic has a net charge of +2.00 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (
snow_lady [41]

Answer

given,

net charge = +2.00 μC

we know,

1 coulomb charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸electrons

1 micro coulomb  charge =  6.28 x 10¹⁸ x 10⁻⁶ electron

                                         = 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

2.00 μC = 2 x 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

              = 1.256 x 10¹³ electrons

since net charge is positive.

The number of protons should be 1.256 x 10¹³ more than electrons.

hence, +2.00 μC have 1.256 x 10¹³ more protons than electrons.
