Answer:

If you need to measure much longer lengths - for example the length of a football pitch - then you could use a trundle wheel. You use it by pushing the wheel along the ground. It clicks every time it measures one metre.

A rocket starting from its launch pad is subjected to a uniform acceleration of 100 meters/second2. Determine the time needed to

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

Acceleration is a measure of a rate of change of velocity, or in other words, a measure of how quickly the velocity is changing.

If acceleration is constant, then the velocity is changing by a constant amount.

With an acceleration of 100 m/s^2, starting from the launching pad (and thus, an initial velocity of zero), we can calculate how long it will take to reach a final velocity of 1000m/s with the following formula:

$v=at+v_o$ where "v" is the final velocity at some later time "t", "a" is the constant acceleration, and "v" sub-zero is the initial velocity.

$v=at+v_o$

$(1000\text{ [m/s]})=(100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] )t+(0\text{ [m/s]})$

$1000\text{ [m/s]}=100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] *t$

$\dfrac{1000\text{ [m/s]}}{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2]}=\dfrac{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2] *t}{100 \text{ } [\text{m/s}^2]}$

$10\text{ [s]}=t$

So, it will take 10 seconds for the rocket to reach 1000m/s when starting from the launching pad, with a constant velocity of 100m/s^2.

<u>Verification:</u>

In this situation, it is quick to verify that 10 seconds is correct by looking at what the velocities will be each second.

Recognizing that the acceleration is $a=\dfrac{100 [\frac{m}{s}]}{1[s]}$ , the velocity increases by 100 units [m/s] every second.

At time 0[s], the velocity is 0[m/s]

At time 1[s], the velocity is 100[m/s]

At time 2[s], the velocity is 200[m/s]

At time 3[s], the velocity is 300[m/s]

At time 4[s], the velocity is 400[m/s]

At time 5[s], the velocity is 500[m/s]

At time 6[s], the velocity is 600[m/s]

At time 7[s], the velocity is 700[m/s]

At time 8[s], the velocity is 800[m/s]

At time 9[s], the velocity is 900[m/s]

At time 10[s], the velocity is 1000[m/s]

So, indeed, after 10 seconds, the velocity reaches 1000 m/s

PLSSSS help meeeeee lol

Elis [28]

Answer:

B. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

Explanation:

When the temperature of an object increases, the kinetic energy of its particles increases, so the thermal energy of an object increases as its temperature increases.

A hockey puck with mass 0.3 kg is shot across an ice-covered pond. Before the hockey puck was hit, the puck was at rest. After t

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The net friction force is 8.01 N

Explanation:

Net friction force = mass of hockey puck × acceleration

From the equations of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v = 40 m/s

u = 0 m/s (puck was initially at rest)

s = 30 m

40^2 = 0^2 + 2×a×30

60a = 1600

a = 1600/60 = 26.7 m/s^2

The acceleration of the puck is 26.7 m/s^2

Net friction force = 0.3 × 26.7 = 8.01 N

Please help me to do this problem

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

we got time and velocity over time.

so the distance is again the area underneath the graph

for a triangle with known base and height it's

4*10 / 2

distance traveled is 20

deceleration occurs when velocity decreases. that happens from t=2 till t=4

in 2 time-units we loose 10 units of velocity, so we decelerate by 5 units per 1 time

a (from t=2 to t=4) = -5v/t
