Help! PROJECTILE PROBLEM: A 7500-kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.25

m/s2 and feels no appreciable air resistance. When it has reached a height of 525 m, its engines suddenly fail so that the only force acting on it is now gravity.
a) What is the maximum height this rocket will reach above the launch pad?
b) How much time after engine failure will elapse before the rocket comes crashing down to the launch pad?

Height at failure, h1 = 525 m, 
upward acceleration, a = 2.25 m/s^2, 
velocity = v m/s, 
<span>
SO, </span>
<span>
v^2 = 2*a*h = 2*2.25*525 = 2362.5 </span>
Now, acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s^2, 
<span>
SO, </span>
<span>
heigt, h1 = v^2/2g = 2362.5 / 2*9.8 = 120.54 meters </span>
Hence, 
<span>
a) </span>
Total height = 525+120.54 = 645.54 meters 

b) 
<span>time, for h1, t = v/g = sqrt(2362.5)/9.8 = 4.96 sec

A crane lifts a 425 kg steel beam vertically upward a distance of 66 m. How much work does the crane do on the beam if the beam
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

W = 311074.5 [J]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must analyze two parts, in the first part by means of Newton's second law we can determine the acceleration of the beam, remembering that the sum of the forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

F = forces acting on the beam [N]

m = mass = 425 [kg]

a = acceleration = 1.8 [m/s²]

The forces acting on the beam are the force of the crane up (positive) and the weight of the beam down (negative)

F_{crane}-(425*9.81)= 425*1.8\\F_{crane}=4713.25 [N]

Now in the second part, we use the definition of work, which is equal to the product of the force applied in the direction of displacement, that is, the product of force by distance.

W=F*d

where:

W = work [J]

F = force = 4713.25 [N]

d = distance = 66 [m]

W=4713.25*66\\W=311074.5[J]

A person absentmindedly walks off the edge of a tall cliff. They will fall 50 m into either
kifflom [539]

The man can survive, and he lands 12.1 m from the base of the cliff (into the lake)

Explanation:

The motion of the person is equivalent to the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

We start by analyzing the vertical motion, to find the time it take for the person to reach the ground level. We can use the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s = 50 m is the vertical distance covered (the height of the cliff)

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time of flight

Solving for t,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(50)}{9.8}}=3.19 s

The person moved horizontally at a constant speed of

v_x = 3.8 m/s

So, the horizontal distance covered by the man during his flight will be

d_x = v_x t = (3.8)(3.19)=12.1 m

So, the man will land on the lake (which starts from 12 m), so he can survive.

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the earth's surface of 2.60 times the earth's radius, what is its acceleration d
Mice21 [21]

The gravitational acceleration at any distance r is given by

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass and r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth.

The Earth's radius is r_e=6.37 \cdot 10^6 m, so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:

r=r_e+2.60 r_e =3.60 r_e =  2.29 \cdot 10^7 m

And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2} =  \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(2.29 \cdot 10^7 m)^2} =0.75 m/s^2
