A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.

The engines then fire, and the rocket accelerates upward at 3.90 m/s2 until it reaches an altitude of 1040 m. At that point its engines fail, and the rocket goes into free fall, with an acceleration of −9.80 m/s2. (you will need to consider the motion while the engine is operating and the free-fall motion separately.) (a) for what time interval is the rocket in motion above the ground?

solution:

y = v0t + ½at²

1150 = 79t + ½3.9t²

0 = 3.9t² + 158t - 2300

from quadratic equations and eliminating the negative answer

t = (-158 + v158² -4(3.9)(-2300)) / 2(3.9)

t = 11.37 s to engine cut-off

the velocity at that time is

v = v0 + at

v = 79 + 3.9(11.37)

v = 123.3 m/s

it rises for an additional time

v = gt

t = v/g

t = 123.3 / 9.8

t = 12.59 s

gaining more altitude

y = ½vt

y = 123.3(12.59) /2

y = 776 m

for a peak height of

y = 776 + 1150

Answer:

t = 31.52 s, the time until the crash

t = 42 s, time to the motion

Explanation:

We have the following data:

so = 0

vo = 80.6 m/s

a = 3.90 m/s^2

s = 1040 m

replacing in the distance equation we have:

s = so + vo*t + (a*t^2)/2

s = 0 + 80.6*t + (3.9 * t^2)/2 = 1040

clearing t:

t = 10.48 s

v1 = v2o = vo + a*t = 80.6 + (3.9 * 10.48) = 121.472 m/s

s2 = 1040 + 121.472t - (9.8*t^2)/2

0 = 1040 + 121.472t - (9.8*t^2)/2

Clearing t:

t = 31.52 s, the time until the crash

t = 42 s, time to the motion

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

B. Technician B only

Explanation:

An oscilloscope can be used to check the output signal of an optical sensor. The oscilloscope has the functioning of viewing the results in the form of waveform and its time scale settings can be altered to meet the requirements of the results.

A voltmeter cannot be <u>directly</u> used to monitor the output signal of an optical sensor. But a <u>digital multi-meter</u> can be used to check an optical sensor if the digital multi-meter is set on AC - Volt reading mode.

a hippopotamus produces a pressure of 250000 pa when it is standing on all four feet if the weight of the hippo is 40000 N what
mamaluj [8]

0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

  Pressure = \frac{force}{area}

To find the area;

        Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

    Area = \frac{40000}{250000} = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = \frac{0.16}{4} = 0.04m²
