An ice sled powered by a rocket engine starts from rest on a large frozen lake and accelerates at +44 ft/s2. After some time t1,

the rocket engine is shut down and the sled moves with constant velocity v for a time t2. If the total distance traveled by the sled is 18,350 ft and the total time is 90 s, find the following. (a) the times t1 and t2 t1 = s t2 = s (b) the velocity v

Answer:

a) t₁ = 4.76 s, t₂ = 85.2 s

b) v = 209 ft/s

Explanation:

Constant acceleration equations:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

v = at + v₀

where x is final position,

x₀ is initial position,

v₀ is initial velocity,

a is acceleration,

and t is time.

When the engine is on and the sled is accelerating:

x₀ = 0 ft

v₀ = 0 ft/s

a = 44 ft/s²

t = t₁

So:

x = 22 t₁²

v = 44 t₁

When the engine is off and the sled is coasting:

x = 18350 ft

x₀ = 22 t₁²

v₀ = 44 t₁

a = 0 ft/s²

t = t₂

So:

18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) t₂

Given that t₁ + t₂ = 90:

18350 = 22 t₁² + (44 t₁) (90 − t₁)

Now we can solve for t₁:

18350 = 22 t₁² + 3960 t₁ − 44 t₁²

18350 = 3960 t₁ − 22 t₁²

9175 = 1980 t₁ − 11 t₁²

11 t₁² − 1980 t₁ + 9175 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

t₁ = [ 1980 ± √(1980² - 4(11)(9175)) ] / 22

t₁ = 4.76, 175

Since t₁ can't be greater than 90, t₁ = 4.76 s.

Therefore, t₂ = 85.2 s.

And v = 44 t₁ = 209 ft/s.

Two people are standing on a 2.50-m-long platform, one at each end. The platform floats parallel to the ground on a cushion of a
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The platform move before coming to rest again 0.045 m far

Explanation:

Given

Ball is in motion

M (Platform mass + 2 people mass)

V (recoil velocity of the platform)

m (ball mass)

v (velocity ball)

MV + mv = 0

Distance of the platform movement is

t (time that the ball is in the air)

x = Vt

t = \frac{L}{v - V}

Knowing the platform and the ball are moving while the ball is in the air

x = \frac{V}{v - V} * L

Also knowing that

\frac{V}{v} = \frac{-m}{M}

This way,

x = ((\frac{V}{v}) * L) / (1 - \frac{V}{v}) = -\frac{m*L}{M + m} = -\frac{3.63 kg * 2.50 m}{198 kg + 3.63 kg}  = -0.045 m

The minus sign means the displacement of the platform is in opposite direction to the displacement of the ball.

What is the difference between a sonic boom and a shock wave?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

When a sound source moves faster than the speed of sound, a shock wave is produced as the sound waves interfere. A sonic boom is the intense sound that occurs as the shock wave moves along the ground.

More importantly, all of the energy gets concentrated into a very small distance this is called a shock wave. In this case, the observer does not hear the approaching source at all until the shock wave hits with all of the energy in the wave. For sound waves, this can cause a very loud noise, called a sonic boom.

Sonic booms produced by aircraft flying supersonic at altitudes of less than 100 feet, creating between 20 and 144 pounds overpressure, have been experienced by humans without injury. Damage to eardrums can be expected when overpres- sures reach 720 pounds

Uranus and neptune have methane clouds but jupiter and saturn do not. Which factor explains why?.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Temperature on Jupiter and Saturn are too high for methane to condense.

Explanation:

However, methane can condense on Uranus and Neptune because they are farther from the sun and hence colder.
