Answer:

a)The highest point reached by the rocket is 1412 m

b)The rocket crashes after 54.7 s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the rocket are the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² (while the engines work).

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (when the rocket is in free fall).

v = v0 + a · t (while the engines work).

v = v0 + g · t (when the rocket is in free fall).

Where:

h = height of the rocket at a time t.

h0 = initial height of the rocket.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration due to the engines.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the rocket at a time t.

First, let's find the velocity and height reached by the rocket until the engines fail:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Let's set the origin of the frame of reference at the launching point so that h0 = 0. Since the rocket starts from rest, v0 = 0. So after 30.0 s the height of the rocket will be:

h = 1/2 · a · t²

h = 1/2 · 2.5 m/s² · (30.0 s)²

h = 1125 m

Now let's find the velocity of the rocket at t = 30.0 s:

v = v0 + a · t (v0 = 0)

v = 2.5 m/s² · 30.0 s

v = 75 m/s

After 30.0s the rocket will continue to ascend with a velocity of 75 m/s. This velocity will be gradually reduced due to the acceleration of gravity. When the velocity is zero, the rocket will start to fall. At that time, the rocket is at its maximum height. So, let's find the time at which the velocity of the rocket is zero:

v = v0 + g · t

0 = 75 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t (v0 = 75 m/s because the rocket begins its free-fall motion with that velocity).

-75 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 7.7 s

Now, let's find the height of the rocket 7.7 s after the engines fail:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

The rocket begins its free fall at a height of 1125 m and with a velocity 75 m/s, then, h0 = 1125 m and v0 = 75 m/s:

h = 1125 m + 75 m/s · 7.7 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (7.7 s)²

h = 1412 m

The highest point reached by the rocket is 1412 m

b) Now, let's calculate how much time it takes the rocket to reach a height of zero (i.e. to crash) from a height of 1412 m.

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² (v0 = 0 because at the maximum height the velocity is zero)

0 = 1412 m - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

-1412 m / -4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 17 s

The rocket goes up for 30.0 s with an acceleration of 2.5 m/s².

Then, it goes up for 7.7 s with an acceleration of -9.8 m/s².

Finally, the rocket falls for 17 s with an acceleration of -9.8 m/s²

The rocket crashes after (30.0 s + 7.7 s + 17 s) 54.7 s

What is the interaction between surface water and groundwater in a watershed?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Groundwater occasionally discharges into surface water and then, they flow together as a body of water in a watershed.

Explanation:

According to www.mbgnet.net A watershed describes an area of land that contains a common set of streams and rivers that all drain into a single larger body of water, such as a larger river, a lake or an ocean.

Therefore, when groundwater discharges into a body of surface water, for example a stream, the stream just like several other streams in a watershed would flow into a larger body of water.

A car drives around a curve with radius 539 m at a speed of 32.0 m/s. The road is banked at 5.00°. The mass of the car is 1.40 ×
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

f_r = 150.47 N

Explanation:

given,

r = 539 m

v = 32 m/s

road banked at = 5°

∑ F_x

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}= N sin \theta + f_r cos \theta

∑ F_y = 0

0 = N cos \theta - f_r sin \theta - mg

N = \dfrac{f_rsin \theta + mg}{cos \theta}

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}= (\dfrac{f_rsin \theta + mg}{cos \theta})sin \theta + f_r cos \theta

              = f_r sin \theta tan \theta + mg tan \theta + f_r cos \theta

        f_r = \dfrac{\dfrac{mv^2}{r}- mg tan\theta}{sin\theta tan \theta + cos \theta}

         f_r = \dfrac{\dfrac{1.4\times 10^3 \times 32^2}{539}- 1.4\times 10^{3}\times 9.8 \times 0.087}{0.087 \times 0.087 + 0.996}

f_r = 150.47 N

Two people are sitting on playground swings. One is pulled back 4 degrees from the vertical and the other is pulled back 8 degre
lara [203]

Answer:

They will come back at the same time.

Explanation:

The angular velocity equation of ω= \frac{V}{r} where ω is the frequency of the movement, dependent on the angle. But since swings are simple pendulums and their angles of 8 and 4 degrees are small, they will come back to their starting points at the same time.

I hope this answer helps.

Can someone awnser this
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The force of gravity exerts a downward force. The floor exerts an upward force. Since these two forces are of equal magnitude and in opposite directions, they balance each other.
