The moon has a greater effect, because it has a gravitational pull also known as gravity.

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.

kow [346]

Before the engines fail, the rocket's altitude at time t is given by

$y_1(t)=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2$

and its velocity is

$v_1(t)=80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t$

The rocket then reaches an altitude of 1150 m at time t such that

$1150\,\mathrm m=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2$

Solve for t to find this time to be

$t=11.2\,\mathrm s$

At this time, the rocket attains a velocity of

$v_1(11.2\,\mathrm s)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

When it's in freefall, the rocket's altitude is given by

$y_2(t)=1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and its velocity is

$v_2(t)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt$

(a) After the first 11.2 s of flight, the rocket is in the air for as long as it takes for $y_2(t)$ to reach 0:

$1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=32.6\,\mathrm s$

So the rocket is in motion for a total of 11.2 s + 32.6 s = 43.4 s.

(b) Recall that

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y$

where $v_f$ and $v_i$ denote final and initial velocities, respecitively, $a$ denotes acceleration, and $\Delta y$ the difference in altitudes over some time interval. At its maximum height, the rocket has zero velocity. After the engines fail, the rocket will keep moving upward for a little while before it starts to fall to the ground, which means $y_2$ will contain the information we need to find the maximum height.

$-\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2g(y_{\rm max}-1150\,\mathrm m)$

Solve for $y_{\rm max}$ and we find that the rocket reaches a maximum altitude of about 1930 m.

(c) In part (a), we found the time it takes for the rocket to hit the ground (relative to $y_2(t)$ ) to be about 32.6 s. Plug this into $v_2(t)$ to find the velocity before it crashes:

$v_2(32.6\,\mathrm s)=-196\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

That is, the rocket has a velocity of 196 m/s in the downward direction as it hits the ground.

What happens to the temperature during an endothermic reaction? ANSWERS; The temperature stays constant. The temperature will de

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature will decrease (get colder).

Explanation:

Enthalpy changes are heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes. The enthalpy change is the difference between the sum of the heat contents of products and the sum of heat contents of reactants.

For an endothermic change, heat is absorbed for the reaction.
The surrounding becomes colder at the end of the reaction and so is the reaction itself.
The right choice is that the temperature will decrease.

How might burning fossil fuels affect the composition of gases in the atmosphere?

No "might". The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere HAS gone up since the start of industrialisation as the result of burning fossil fuels.

You normally drive a 12-h trip at an average speed of 100 km/h . Today you are in a hurry. During the first two-thirds of the di

kherson [118]

Answer:

78 km/h

Explanation:

If I normally drive a 12 hour trip at an average speed of 100 km/h, my destination has a total distance of:

100 km/h · 12 h = 1,200 km

Today, I drive the first 2/3 of the distance at 116 km/h. Let's first calculate what 2/3 of the normal distance is.

1,200 * 2/3 = 800 km

I've driven 800 km already. I need to drive 400 km more to reach my final destination. I need to figure out my average speed during this last 1/3 of the distance.

To do this, I first need to calculate how much time I spent driving 116 km/h for the past 800 km.

116 km/1 h = 800 km/? h
800 = 116 · ?
? = 800/116
? = 6.89655172

I spent 6.89655172 hours driving during the first 2/3 of the distance.

Now, I need to subtract this value from 12 hours to find the remaining time I have left.

12 h - 6.89655172 h = 5.10344828 h

Using this remaining time and my remaining distance, I can calculate my average speed.

? km/1 hr = 400 km/5.10344828 h
5.10344828 · ? = 400
? = 400/5.10344828
? = 78.3783783148

My average speed during the last third of the distance is around 78 km/h.
