A small rocket with mass 20.0 kg is moving in free fall toward the earth. Air resistance can be neglected. When the rocket is 80

.0 m above the surface of the earth, it is moving downward with a speed of 30.0 m/s. At that instant the rocket engines start to fire and produce a constant upward force F on the rocket. Assume the change in the rocket's mass is negligible. What is the value of F if the rocket's speed becomes zero just as it reaches the surface of the earth, for a soft landing? (Hint: The net force on the rocket is the combination of the upward force F from the engines and the downward weight of the rocket.)

Answer:

= 308.5 N

Explanation:

acceleration of rocket for safe landing

$v_{y} ^{2} = v_{0} ^{2} +2ay$

$a = \frac{v_{y}^{2} - v_{0}^{2} }{2y}$

$v_{0}$ = initial velocity

$v_{y}$ =final Velocity

m = mass of rocket

$\frac{0^{2} - 30^{2} }{2\times80}$

-5.625 $m/s^{2}$

Upward force

F - mg = ma

F = ma+ mg

F = m(a+g)

m= mass

a = 5.625 $m/s^{2}$

g = 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

= 20(5.625 $m/s^{2}$ + 9.8 $m/s^{2}$ )

= 308.5 N

Indicate the result of each of the following unit vector cross products (unit vector hat-symbols not shown): . kxi = . jxi= -jxk

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cross product of two vectors is given by

$\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |Sin\theta \widehat{n}$

Where, θ be the angle between the two vectors and \widehat{n} be the unit vector along the direction of cross product of two vectors.

Here, K x i = - j

As K is the unit vector along Z axis, i is the unit vector along X axis and j be the unit vector along axis.

The direction of cross product of two vectors is given by the right hand palm rule.

So, k x i = j

j x i = - k

- j x k = - i

i x i = 0

A brick lands 10.1 m from the base of a building. If it was given an initial velocity of 8.6 m/s [61º above the horizontal], how

Montano1993 [528]

<h2>Answer: 10.52m</h2><h2 />

First, we have to establish the <u>reference system</u>. Let's assume that the building is on the negative y-axis and that the brick was thrown at the origin (see figure attached).

According to this, the initial velocity $V_{o}$ has two components, because the brick was thrown at an angle $\alpha=61\º$ :

$V_{ox}=V_{o}cos\alpha$ (1)

$V_{ox}=8.6\frac{m}{s}cos(61\º)=4.169\frac{m}{s}$ (2)

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin\alpha$ (3)

$V_{oy}=8.6\frac{m}{s}sin(61\º)=7.521\frac{m}{s}$ (4)

As this is a projectile motion, we have two principal equations related:

<h2>In the x-axis: </h2>

$X=V_{ox}.t$ (5)

Where:

$X=10.1m$ is the distance where the brick landed

$t$ is the time in seconds

If we already know $X$ and $V_{ox}$ , we have to find the time (we will need it for the following equation):

$t= \frac{X}{ V_{ox}}$ (6)

$t=2.42s$ (7)

<h2>In the y-axis: </h2>

$-y=V_{oy}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (8)

Where:

$y$ is the height of the building (<u>in this case it has a negative sign because of the reference system we chose)</u>

$g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Substituting the known values, including the time we found on equation (7) in equation (8), we will find the height of the building:

$-y=(7.521\frac{m}{s})(2.42s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).(2.42s)^{2}$ (9)

$-y=-10.52m$ (10)

Multiplying by -1 each side of the equation:

$y=10.52m$ >>>>This is the height of the building

A pendulum consists of a 0.5 kg mass attached to the end of 1-meter-long rod of negligible mass. When the rod makes an angle of

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

T=4.24 N.m

Explanation:

Torque is equal to force for distance for sinus of the angle between the direction of the force and the distance, the distance between the mass and the pivot is 1 m, and to obtain the force that is the mass for the gravity in this case, we need to know the component that produces a torque in the pivot

F=0.5 kg* 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$ = 4.9 N

and we decompose the force in parallel direction to the rod and perpendicular direction to the rod, the magnitude that produces torque is the perpendicular component, because the torque is in function of the sinus

so, we obtain -> Fy= 4.9 N*sin(60)= 4.24 N

and, T= (4.24 N)*(1 m)*(Sin(90))= 4.24 N.m

anothe way to do it is,

T= (4.9 N)*(1 m)*(Sin(60))= 4.24 N.m, and we obtain the same result
