A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 85.0 m/s2

for 2.30 seconds, at which point its fuel abruptly runs out. Air resistance has no effect on its flight. What maximum altitude (above the ground) will the rocket reach?

Answer:

Maximum height attained by the model rocket is 2172.87 m

Explanation:

Given,

  • Initial speed of the model rocket = u = 0
  • acceleration of the model rocket = a\ =\ 85.0 m/s^2
  • time during the acceleration = t = 2.30 s

We have to consider the whole motion into two parts

In first part the rocket is moving with an acceleration of a = 85.0 m/s^2 for the time t = 2.30 s before the fuel abruptly runs out.

Let s_1 be the height attained by the rocket during this time intervel,

s_1\ =\ ut\ +\ \dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_1\ =\ 0\ +\ 0.5\times 85\times 2.30^2\\\Rightarrow s_1\ =\ 224.825\ m

And Final velocity at that point be v

\therefore v\ =\ u\ +\ at\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 0\ +\ 85.0\times 2.3\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 195.5\ m/s.

Now, in second part, after reaching the altitude of 224.825 m the fuel abruptly runs out. Therefore rocket is moving upward under the effect of gravitational acceleration,

Let 's_2' be the altitude attained by the rocket to reach at the maximum point after the rocket's fuel runs out,

At that insitant,

  • initial velocity of the rocket = v = 195.5 m/s.
  • a = -g\ =\ -9.81\ m/s^2
  • Final velocity of the rocket at the maximum altitude = v_f\ =\ 0

From the kinematics,

v^2\ =\ u^2\ +\ 2as\\\Rightarrow 0\ =\ u^2\ -\ 2gs_2\\\Rightarrow s_2\ =\ \dfrac{u^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow s_2\ =\ \dfrac{195.5^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow s_2\ =\ 1948.02\ m

Hence the maximum altitude attained by the rocket from the ground is

s\ =\ s_1\ +\ s_2\ =\ 224.85\ +\ 1948.02\ =\ 2172.87\ m

Answer:

<em>The angle introduces an error on the mesure of the weight</em>

Explanation:

<u><em>Weight and Normal Forces</em></u>

When an object is resting on a horizontal surface, its weight is directed downwards and the normal force has the same magnitude and opposite direction, i.e. directed upwards. When some angle α exists between the surface and the horizontal plane, the scale keeps 'feeling' the Normal force, but it's not equal to the weight anymore, but to the perpendicular component of the weight to the surface where the scale is placed. It can be found that the component of the weight is m.g.cosα

If, for example \alpha=10^o, the real measure is

m.g.cos 10^o=0.985(mg)

That is, 98.5% of the correct weight. So it's important to measure weight on horizontal surfaces

A 100-lb child stands on a scale while riding in an elevator. What does the scale read while the elevator slows to stop at the l
Lelechka [254]

Answer: A 100-lb child stands on a scale while riding in an elevator. Then, the scale reading approaches to 100lb, while the elevator slows to stop at the lowest floor

Explanation: To find the correct answer, we need to know more about the apparent weight of a body in a lift.

<h3>What is the apparent weight of a body in a lift?</h3>
  • Consider a body of mass m kept on a weighing machine in a lift.
  • The readings on the machine is the force exerted by the body on the machine(action), which is equal to the force exerted by the machine on the body(reaction).
  • The reaction we get as the weight recorded by the machine, and it is called the apparent weight.
<h3>How to solve the question?</h3>
  • Here we have given with the actual weight of the body as 100lbs.
  • This 100lb child is standing on the scale or the weighing machine, when it is riding .
  • During this condition, the acceleration of the lift is towards downward, and thus, a force of ma .
  • There is also<em> mg </em>downwards and a normal reaction in the upward direction.
  • when we equate both the upward force and downward force, we get,

                             ma=mg-N\\N=mg-ma    i.e. during riding the scale reads a weight less than that of actual weight.

  • When the lift goes slow and stops the lowest floor, then the acceleration will be approaches to zero.

Thus, from the above explanation, it is clear that ,when the elevator moves to the lowest floor slowly and stops, then the apparent weight will become the actual weight.
