Answer:

27.78 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 6 minutes

u = Initial velocity = 0 (assuming it started from rest)

v = Final velocity = 10000 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

First equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{10000-0}{6\times 60}\\\Rightarrow a=27.78\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the rocket is 27.78 m/s²

kari74 [83]

When the canoe leaked, the boat sank because it has a leak. The boat must have a strong base at its bottom to enable itself to float. If this is damaged, the water can now enter due to the hole thereby increasing the velocity of water coming in.

Daring Darless wishes to cross the Grand Canyon of the Snake River by being shot from a cannon. She wishes to be launched at 65
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

She must be launched with minimum speed of <u>57.67 m/s</u> to clear the 520 m gap.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The angle of projection of the projectile is, \theta =65°

Range of the projectile is, R=520 m.

Acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8\ m/s^2

The minimum speed to cross the gap is the initial speed of the projectile and can be determined using the formula for range of projectile.

The range of projectile is given as:

R=\frac{v_{0}^2\sin2\theta}{g}

Plug in all the given values and solve for minimum speed, v_0.

520=\frac{v_{0}^2\sin(2(65))}{9.8}\\520\times 9.8=v_{0}^2\sin(130)\\5096=1.532v_{0}^2\\v_0^2=\frac{5096}{1.532}\\v_0^2=3326.371\\v_0=\sqrt{3326.371}=57.67\textrm{ m/s}

Therefore, she must be launched with minimum speed of 57.67 m/s to clear the 520 m gap.

What produces the distinctive flame color of different substances when they are ignited?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Electrons in different metals

Explanation:

When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy.  The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.
