A rocket moves upward from rest with an acceleration of 40 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then runs out of fuel and continues to move up

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Maximum height of rocket = 2538.74 m

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

For first 5 seconds

s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m

Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.

We have the equation of motion v = u + at

After 5 seconds velocity of rocket

v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s

After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.

Time of flying after 5 seconds

$t=\frac{200}{9.81}=20.38s$

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s

s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m

Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m

A system undergoes a two-step process. In the first step, the internal energy of the system increases by 222 J when 150 J of wor

joja [24]

Answer:0 J

Explanation:

Given

For first step

change in internal Energy of the system is $\Delta U_1=222 J$

Work done on the system $W_1=-150 J$

For second step

change in internal Energy of the system is $\Delta U_2=123 J$

Work done on the system $W_2=-195 J$

Work done on the system is considered as Positive and vice-versa.

and from first law of thermodynamics

$Q=\Delta U+W$

for first step

$Q_1=222-150=72 J$

$Q_2=123-195=-72 J$

overall heat added $=Q_1+Q_2$

$Q_{net}=72-72 =0$

For overall Process Heat added is 0 J

"It is not correct to say that a body contains a certain amount of heat, yet a body can transfer heat to another body. How can a

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Because heat is a path function or the energy in transit.

Explanation:

It is not correct to say that a body contains a certain amount of heat because the heat is a path function and not a property of the system. It is the energy in transit which can be encountered only when it crosses the system boundary.

Heat is the energy in transit of a matter which flows by the virtue of temperature difference. The heat energy in a body is stored in the form of kinetic energy of the molecules which gets converted into heat that we know as the responsible factor for the rise in temperature usually.

A man has a mass of 66 kg on the earth. What is his weight.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Since force = mass X acceleration, then the force he excerts on the earth (aka his weight) equals his mass times the force of gravity.

Therefore
W = (66 kg) X (9.8 m/ss)
W = 646.8 kgm/ss

kg m/ss are also known as Newtons, so your answer is...

646.8 N

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.9 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.042 m, using a string of length 0

padilas [110]

Answer: T= 715 N

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the swinging mass, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r

At the moment that the mass be released, it wil continue moving in a straight line at the same tangential speed that it had just an instant before, which is the same speed included in the centripetal force expression.

So the kinetic energy will be the following:

K = 1/2 m v² = 15. 0 J

Solving for v², and replacing in the expression for T:

T = 1.9 Kg (3.97)² m²/s² / 0.042 m = 715 N
