16,000 m/s
Since it’s speed, and the distance is unknown. Gravity isn’t applying a noticeable force too on the rocket, as if it were, then the rocket would be accelerating negatively.
Answer:
Explanation:
The work increased the potential energy
W = PE = mgh = 40(9.8)(15) = 5880 J(oules)
The phenomenon which is responsible for this effect is called diffraction.
Diffraction is the ability of a wave to propagate when it meets an obstacle or a slit. When the wave encounters the obstacle or the slit, it 'bends' around it and it continues propagate beyond it. A classical example of this phenomenon is when a sound wave propagates through a wall where there is a small aperture (as in the example of this problem)
