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

The trajectory of a projectile always ________________.
sattari [20]

Answer:

c) curves downward, below the initial velocity vector

Explanation:

A projectile is usually launched from a height, where it is launched with an initial velocity. From that point the gravitational force begins to act on the projectile causing it to decay. As time passes, the projectile advances but its height decreases. So its trajectory is curved downward, below the initial velocity vector.

Identify the type of electrification of the road
Arte-miy333 [17]
Electrification is widely considered as a viable strategy for reducing the oil dependency and environmental impacts of road transportation. In pursuit of this strategy, most attention has been paid to electric cars. However, substantial, yet untapped, potentials could be realized in urban areas through the large-scale introduction of electric two-wheelers.
