A new spacecraft is built with an engine that is able to produce constant acceleration of 1g, where g = gravity’s acceleration o
QveST [7]

given that acceleration due to gravity is g = 10 m/s^2

speed of the rocket will reach to 0.9c

v_f = 0.9* 3 * 10^8 = 2.7 * 10^8 m/s

now by kinematics

v_f = v_i + a*t

2.7 * 10^8 = 0 + 10*t

t = 2.7*10^7 s

Part b)

distance traveled by it in above time

d = v*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*10*(2.7*10^7)^2

d = 3.645 * 10^{15} m

so this is the distance covered by the object

How much faster will a car be going if it accelerates at 1 m/s/s for a total of 60 seconds.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Vf = 60 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}= v_{i}+(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration = 1 [m/s^2]

t = time = 60 [m]

Now replacing:

Vf = 0 + (1*60)

Vf = 60 [m/s]

What would be the speed of an object just before hitting the ground if dropped 100 meters?
PolarNik [594]

<u>We are given:</u>

the initial height of the object (h) = 100 m

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

we will let the value of g = 10 m/s/s

<u>Speed of the object just before hitting the ground:</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2ah     (where v is the final velocity)

replacing the variables, we get:

v² - (0)² = 2(10)(100)

v² = 2000

v = 10√20 = 44.7 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the object just before hitting the ground is 44.7 m/s

What is the total energy of a 850 kg sea plane flying at 38 m/s and 20 m above the ocean?
Nikolay [14]

Answer: 7.8×10^5 J

Explanation:

Total energy = kinetic energy of plane + gravitational potential energy of plane.

Total energy = ((1/2)×m×v²) + (m×g×h)

Here, m is mass of plane, v is velocity of plane, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is height above the ocean.

Now,

Total energy = ((1/2)×m×v²) + (m×g×h)

Total energy = m((v²/2) + (g×h))

Total energy = 850((38²/2) + (9.81×20))

Total energy = 850(722 + 196.2)

Total energy = 7.8×10^5 J
