Answer:

The answer is A) 1,000 meters = 1 Kilometer.

Explanation:

To convert 18 Kilometers into meters, one would have to multiply the figure given in Kilometer by 1000.

Therefore we have 18 x 1000

= 18,000.

So 18 Kilometers is also 18,000 meters when converted.

Cheers!

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.

kow [346]

Before the engines fail, the rocket's altitude at time t is given by

$y_1(t)=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2$

and its velocity is

$v_1(t)=80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t$

The rocket then reaches an altitude of 1150 m at time t such that

$1150\,\mathrm m=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2$

Solve for t to find this time to be

$t=11.2\,\mathrm s$

At this time, the rocket attains a velocity of

$v_1(11.2\,\mathrm s)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

When it's in freefall, the rocket's altitude is given by

$y_2(t)=1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and its velocity is

$v_2(t)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt$

(a) After the first 11.2 s of flight, the rocket is in the air for as long as it takes for $y_2(t)$ to reach 0:

$1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=32.6\,\mathrm s$

So the rocket is in motion for a total of 11.2 s + 32.6 s = 43.4 s.

(b) Recall that

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y$

where $v_f$ and $v_i$ denote final and initial velocities, respecitively, $a$ denotes acceleration, and $\Delta y$ the difference in altitudes over some time interval. At its maximum height, the rocket has zero velocity. After the engines fail, the rocket will keep moving upward for a little while before it starts to fall to the ground, which means $y_2$ will contain the information we need to find the maximum height.

$-\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2g(y_{\rm max}-1150\,\mathrm m)$

Solve for $y_{\rm max}$ and we find that the rocket reaches a maximum altitude of about 1930 m.

(c) In part (a), we found the time it takes for the rocket to hit the ground (relative to $y_2(t)$ ) to be about 32.6 s. Plug this into $v_2(t)$ to find the velocity before it crashes:

$v_2(32.6\,\mathrm s)=-196\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

That is, the rocket has a velocity of 196 m/s in the downward direction as it hits the ground.

Why is polaris used as a celestial reference point?

ser-zykov [4K]

At the equator, the North Celestial and South Celestial Poles would lie on the horizon where the meridian intersects the horizon. Polaris is called the "North Star." ... Polaris is special because the Earth's North Pole points almost exactly towards it.

Why do astronomers believe that triton is a captured moon?

Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Accoding to research "Triton is unique among all the large moons in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a "retrograde" orbit). It is unlikely to have formed in this configuration and was probably captured from elsewhere."
