Answer:

T = 295.57 s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the rocket = 200 Kg

mass of the fuel = 100 Kg

acceleration = 35 m/s²

time, t = 35 s

time taken by the rocket to hit the ground, = ?

Final speed of the rocket when fuel is empty

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 0 + 35 x 35

v = 1225 m/s

height of the rocket where fuel is empty

v² = u² + 2 a s

1225² = 0 + 2 x 35 x h₁

h₁ = 21437.5 m

After 35 s the rocket will be moving upward till the final velocity becomes zero.

Now, using equation of motion to find the height after 35 s

v² = u² + 2 g h₂

0² = 1225² + 2 x (-9.8) h₂

h₂ = 76562.5 m

total height = h₁ + h₂

          = 76562.5 m + 21437.5 m = 98000 m

now, time taken by before the rocket hit the ground

using equation of motion

s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

-13500 = 1225 t -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times t^2

negative sign is used because the distance travel by the rocket is downward.

4.9 t² - 1225 t - 13500 = 0

t = \dfrac{-(-1225)\pm \sqrt{1225^2 - 4\times 4.9 \times (-13500)}}{2\times 4.9}

t = 260.57 s

neglecting the negative sign

total time the rocket was in air

T = t₁ + t₂

T = 35 + 260.57

T = 295.57 s

Time for which rocket was in air is equal to 295.57 s.

A man supports himself and the uniform horizontal beam pulling the rope with a force T.The weights of men and the beam are 883 N
artcher [175]

Answer:

T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

Explanation:

The computation of the tension T in the rope and the forces exerted by the pin at A is shown below:

vertical forces sum = Ay + Tsin20 + T - 245 - 883 = 0

Now  

horizontal forces sum = Ax - Tcos70

Now Moment about B

-Ay × 4.8 + 245 × 2.4 + 883 × 1.8=0

Ay=453.6N

Now substitute in sum of vertical forces T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

A particle makes 800 revolution in 4 minutes of a circle of 5cm. Find
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

i) The period of the particle is 0.3 seconds

ii) The angular velocity is approximately 20.94 rad/s

iii) The linear velocity is approximately 1.047 m/s

iv) The centripetal acceleration is approximately 6.98 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of revolution of the particle, n = 800 revolution

The time it takes the particle to make 800 revolutions = 4 minutes

The dimension of the circle = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Given that the dimension of the circle is the radius of the circle, we have;

i) The period of the particle, T = The time to complete one revolution

T = 1/(The number of revolutions per second)

∴ T = 1/(800 rev/(4 min × 60 s/min)) = 3/10 s

The period, T = 3/10 seconds = 0.3 seconds

ii) The angular velocity, ω = Angle covered/(Time)

800 revolutions in 4 minutes = Angle of (800 × 2·π) in 4 minutes

∴ ω = (800 × 2·π)/(4 × 60) = 20·π/3

The angular velocity, ω = 20·π/3 rad/s ≈ 20.94 rad/s

iii) The linear velocity, v = r × ω

∴ The linear velocity, v = 0.05 m × 20·π/3 rad/s = π/3 m/s ≈ 1.047 m/s

iv) The centripetal acceleration, a_c = v²/r

∴ The centripetal acceleration, a_c = (π/3)²/(0.05) = 20·π/9

The centripetal acceleration, a_c = 20·π/9 m/s² ≈ 6.98 m/s²
