Answer:

a). 6 seconds

b). 12 seconds

c). 176.4 meters

Explanation:

a). Equation to be applied to calculate the time taken by the rocket to reach at the peak height,

v = u - gt

where v = final velocity

u = initial velocity = 58.8 m per sec

g = gravitational pull = 9.8 m per sec²

t = duration of the flight

At the peak height,

v = 0

Therefore, 0 = 58.8 - (9.8)(t)

t = $\frac{58.8}{9.8}$

= 6 seconds

b). Total time of flight = 2(Time taken to go up)

= 2×6

= 12 sec

c). Formula to get the peak height is,

$h=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

h = (58.8)6 - $\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(6)^2$

= 352.8 - 176.4

= 176.4 meters

In making the determination that bullets, shells, or cartridge cases were fired from a specific weapon, the criminalist would us

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Comparison Microscope

Explanation:

The Comparison Microscope allows for comparison between two objects or samples by placing them side by side.

It is primarily used in criminology for ballistics which makes it ideal to find out if bullets, shells, or cartridge cases were fired from a specific weapon.

Consider two sizes of disk, both of mass M. One size of disk has radius R; the other has radius 4R. System A consists of two of

Harman [31]

Answer:

4 smaller disks

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of smaller and larger disks = M

Radius of smaller disk = R

Radius of larger disk = 4R

Formula for moment of inertia about cylinder axis is:

I = ½MR²

Thus;

For small disk, I_small = ½MR²

For large disk, I_large = ½M(2R)² = 2MR²

We are told that moment of inertia of System A consists of two of the larger disks. Thus;

I_A = 2 × I_large = 2 × 2MR²

I_A = 4MR²

We are also told that System B consists of one of the larger disks and a number of the smaller disks. Thus;

I_B = I_large + n(I_small)

Where n is the number of smaller disks.

I_B = 2MR² + n(½MR²)

I_B = MR²(2 + n/2)

We are told that the moment of inertia for system A equals the moment of inertia for system B. Thus;

I_A = I_B

So;

4MR² = MR²(2 + n/2)

MR² will cancel out to give;

4 = 2 + n/2

Multiply through by 2 to give;

8 = 4 + n

n = 8 - 4

n = 4

The Position Of A Particle Moving In The Xy Plane Is Given By R= [2.0*cos(3.0t)i+ 2.0*sin(3.0t)j] Where R Is In Meters And T Is

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can prove that this is a circular motion if we demonstrate that the norm of the vector is independent of time. Hence we have

$R(t)=2.0cos(3t)\hat{i}+2sin(3t)\hat j\\\\|R(t)|=\sqrt{4cos^2(3t)+4sin^2(3t)}\\\\|R(t)|=\sqrt{4(cos^2(3t)+sin^2(3t))}\\\\$

but cos^2(3t)+sin^2(3t)=1. Thus we obtain

$|R(t)|=\sqrt{4}=2$

The norm is independent of t, thus, the particle describes a circular motion

Hope this helps!!
