During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. The rocket is to be lau

nched from rest from the earth's surface and is to reach a maximum height of 940 m above the earth's surface. The rocket's engines give the rocket an upward acceleration of 16.0 m/s2 during the time T that they fire. After the engines shut off, the rocket is in free fall. Ignore air resistance.
What must be the value of T in order for the rocket to reach the required altitude?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

6.75 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 16 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let y be the distance the rocket is accelerating

960-y is the distance traveled in free fall

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 16\times y+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v^2=32y\ m/s

In free fall

v^2-u^2=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 0-32y=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow -32y=2\times -9.81(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 960-y=\dfrac{-32}{2\times -9.81}y\\\Rightarrow 960-y=1.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow 960=2.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{960}{2.63098878695}\\\Rightarrow y=364.881828749\ m

The distance the rocket will keep accelerating is 364.881828749 m

After which it will travel 960-364.881828749 = 595.118171251 m in free fall

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 364.881828749=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{364.881828749\times 2}{16}}\\\Rightarrow t=6.75353452598\ s

The time the rocket is accelerating is 6.75 seconds

Naddik [55]
Charles's <span>law is also known as the law of volumes explained the relation between the volume of gas and its temperature.

Charles's law states that: " At constant pressure, the volume of a certain mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvin".
This means that:
V = T*constant
V/T = constant

Based on this, the correct choice is:

if the current through a resistor is increased by a factor of 4, how does this affect the power dissipated?
lbvjy [14]

The new current will be 4I. The power dissipated by the resistor will increase by a factor of 16.

<h3>What is a resistor?</h3>
  • Using electrical resistance as a circuit element, a resistor is a passive electrical component with two terminals. In electrical circuits, resistors are used, among other things, to limit current flow, modify signal levels, divide voltages, bias active devices, and terminate transmission lines.
  • As test loads for generators, power distribution systems, and motor controls, high-power resistors that can create many watts of heat rather than just electrical energy can be used.
  • Variable resistors can be used as sensors for force, heat, light, humidity, humidity, and chemical activity or for adjusting circuit components.
  • Electrical networks and electronic circuits frequently contain resistors, which are found everywhere in electronic equipment. Practical resistors are discrete components that come in a wide range of materials and forms.

________ can occur when an analog connection creates an electromagnetic field around its conductors, inducing its waveforms on a
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Crosstalk

Explanation:

The answer is Crosstalk as this phenomenon is most commonly associated with analog phone call.

Now, crosstalk is defined as a disturbance caused by the electric or magnetic fields of one telecommunication signal which affects a signal in an adjacent circuit. In a telephone circuit, crosstalk could result in hearing part of a voice conversation from another circuit. Hence, the phenomenon that causes crosstalk is called electromagnetic interference (EMI). This may occur in microcircuits within computers and audio equipments including within network circuits. This term is also usually applied to optical signals that interfere with each other.

How could you determine the instantaneous speed during a<br> trip?
Fiesta28 [93]
Look at your speedometer for say, a couple of seconds. Depends on whether or not you are moving on average at a constant speed (speedo won't change much) or whether you're in a polluting traffic jam/queue in which case the speedo will go up and down like a yo yo. to determine the speed, you'd probably need to plot the speed on the speedo against the times at which the speedo speeds were read from the speedo.

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
