A space shuttle sits on the launch pad for 2.0 minutes, and then goes from rest to 4600 m/s in 8.0 minutes. Treat its motion as

straight-line motion. What is the average acceleration of the shuttle (a) during the first 2.0 minutes, (b) during the 8.0 minutes the shuttle moves, and (c) during the entire 10 minute period?

Answer:

a.) a = 0 ms⁻²

b.) a = 9.58 ms⁻²

c.) a = 7.67 ms⁻²

Explanation:

a.)

    Acceleration (a) is defined as the time rate of change of velocity

                       a = \frac{v_{2} - v_{1} } {t}  

Given data

 Final velocity = v₂ = 0 m/s

 Initial velocity = v ₁ = 0 m/s

  As the space shuttle remain at rest for the first 2 minutes i.e there is no change in velocity so,

                 a = 0 ms⁻²

b.)

     Given data

As the space shuttle start from rest, So initial velocity is zero

    Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 ms⁻¹

    Final velocity  = v₂ = 4600 ms⁻¹

     Time = t = 8 min = 480 s

By the definition of Acceleration (a)

             a = \frac{v_{2} - v_{1} } {t}  

             a = \frac{4600 - 0 } {480}

                     a = 9.58 ms⁻²

c.)

    Given data

As the space shuttle is at rest for first 2 min then start moving, So initial velocity is zero

    Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 ms⁻¹

    Final velocity  = v₂ = 4600 ms⁻¹

     Time = t = 10 min = 600 s

By the definition of Acceleration (a)

             a = \frac{v_{2} - v_{1} } {t}  

             a = \frac{4600 - 0 } {600}

                     a = 7.67 ms⁻²

a particle is moving along a circular path having a radius of 4 in such that its position as a function of time is given by thet
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of circular path r=4\ in.

Position is given by

\theta =\cos 2t---1

Differentiate 1  to angular velocity we get

\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta }{\mathrm{d} t}=\omega =-2\sin 2t----2

Differentiate 2 to get angular acceleration

\frac{\mathrm{d} \omega }{\mathrm{d} t}=-2^2\cos 2t ---3

Net acceleration is the vector summation of tangential and centripetal force

a_t=\alpha \times r

a_t=-4\cos 2t\times 4=-16\cos 2t

a_r=\omega ^2\cdot r

a_r=(-2\sin 2t)^2\cdot 4

a_r=16\sin^2(2t)

a_{net}=\sqrt{a_r^2+a_t^2}

a_{net}=\sqrt{(16\sin ^2(2t)+(-16\cos 2t)^2}

a_{net}=\sqrt{256\cos ^2(2t)+256\sin ^4(2t)}

what occurs when a swimmer pushes through the water to swim answers are (A) the water exerts a reaction force on the swimmer (B)
miv72 [106K]
When a swimmer pushes through water to swim they are propelled forward because of the water resistance against the hand and feet. It's A. The water doesn't automatically push the swimmer forward. It releases a reaction after the swimmer pushes through the water.

Answer:

Im not sure who you are talking about, but if you are talking about Dominic Raab, well, he failed to make a crucial phone call to seek urgent help airlifting translators out of Afghanistan.          if you are not talking about this Dominic, then please add more information to your question.
