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 tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 240 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are ref

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of sound wave = 240 Hz

Distance = 46.0 m

Distance of fork = 14 .0 m

We need to calculate the path difference

Using formula of path difference

$\Delta x=2(L_{2}-L_{1})$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta x =2((46.0-14.0)-14.0)$

$\Delta x=36\ m$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{343}{240}$

$\lambda=1.42\ m$

We need to calculate the phase difference

Using formula of the phase difference

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\times \delta x$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.42}\times36$

$\phi=159.29\ rad$

$\phi\approx 68.2^{\circ}$

Hence, The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

In a science museum, a 140 kg brass pendulum bob swings at the end of a 16.8 m -long wire.

Mice21 [21]

The period of the pendulum is 8.2 s

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

T is the period

We notice that the period of a pendulum does not depend at all on its mass, but only on its length.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have

L = 16.8 m

and

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

Therefore the period of this pendulum is

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{16.8}{9.8}}=8.2 s$

ENERGY SAVERS RACE, BRAIN BURNER. This question is about solar cars at the Chuck Norris Institute of Technology, CNIT, in Ocala,

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

a) d = 6.0 m

Explanation:

Since car is accelerating at uniform rate then here we can say that the distance moved by the car with uniform acceleration is given as

$d = \frac{(v_f + v_i)}{2} \times t$

here we know that

$v_f = 10 m/s$

$v_i = 0$

$t = 1.2 s$

now we will have

$d = \frac{(10 + 0)}{2}\times 1.2$

$d = 5 \times 1.2$

$d = 6.0 m$

How can the rate of a reaction be decreased?

andre [41]

Answer:

Option A

Lowering the amount of reactants

Explanation:

To reduce the rate of chemical reaction, one can reduce temperature or surface area. The addition of catalysts increases rate of reaction but decreasing the amount of reactants decreases rate of reaction. Therefore, from the choices provided, choice A is correct.
