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

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?
Elza [17]

Answer:

At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?

Explanation:

In an elliptical orbit, when a planet is at its furthest point from the Sun, it is under the least amount of gravity, meaning that the force of gravity is strongest when it is closest.

PLEASE HELP ME!
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

a) A = 3 cm,  b)  T = 0.4 s,   f = 2.5 Hz,

2) A standing wave the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains

Explanation:

a) in an oscillatory movement the amplitude is the highest value of the signal in this case

          A = 3 cm

b) the period of oscillation is the time it takes for the wave to repeat itself in this case

          T = 0.4 s

the period is the inverse of the frequency

         f = 1 /T

         f = 1 /, 0.4

         f = 2.5 Hz

2) a traveling wave is a wave for which as time increases the displacement increases, in the case of a transverse wave the oscillation is perpendicular to the displacement and in the case of a longitudinal wave the oscillation is in the same direction of the displacement.

A standing wave occurs when a traveling wave bounces off some object and there are two waves, one that travels in one direction and the other that travels in the opposite direction. In this case, the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains.
