Answer:

a) h_m=74625\ m

b) t=265.55\ s

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of rocket, m_r=200\ kg
  • mass of fuel, m_f=100\ kg
  • acceleration of the rocket consuming fuel, a=30\ m.s^{-2}
  • time after which the fuel exhaust, t_f=35\ s

<u>During the phase of fuel exhaustion:</u>

<u>velocity attained by the rocket just as the fuel ends:</u>

v_f=u+a.t_f

where:

u= initial velocity of the rocket = 0

v_f=0+30\times 35

v_f=1050\ m.s^{-1} this will be the initial velocity for the phase of ascending of the rocket's height under the influence of gravity.

<u>height at which the fuel finishes:</u>

v_f^2=u^2+2a.h_f

1050^2=0^2+2\times 30\times h_f

h_f=18375\ m

<u>During the phase of ascend in height of rocket after the fuel is over:</u>

<u>Time taken to reach the top height after the fuel is over:</u>

v=v_f+g.t'

at top v = (final velocity during this course of motion )= 0 m.s^{-1}

0=1050-9.8\times t'

t'=107.1429\ s

<u>Height ascended by the rocket after the fuel is over:</u>

v^2=v_f^2+2g.h'

at the top height the velocity is zero

0^2=1050^2-2\times 9.8\times h' (-ve sign denotes that the direction of motion is opposite to that of acceleration)

h'=56250\ m

<u>Therefore the maximum altitude attained by the rocket:</u>

h_m=h_f+h'

h_m=18375+56250

h_m=74625\ m

b)

time taken by the rocket to fall back to the earth:

h_m=v.t_m+\frac{1}{2} g.t_m^2

where:

v= initial velocity of the rocket during the course of free fall from the top height.

74625=0+4.9\times t_m^2

t_m=123.41\ s

Now the total time for which the rocket is in the air:

t=t_f+t'+t_m

t=35+107.1429+123.41

t=265.55\ s

Ana wonders how light can affect a mystery material. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the my
vivado [14]

The light can definitely change the mystery material. This can occur through a change in temperature or color (option C).

A material is affected by light mainly if the material absorbs the light. Based on the chart, we know this mystery material can absorb two types of light:

  • Red light.
  • Yellow light.

Moreover, this phenomenon can lead to two main changes:

  • Change in temperature: Light affects materials by increasing their temperature of these. A common example is the way the temperature of an object increases if it is exposed to sunlight.
  • Change in color: Some materials react to light by changing their color.

Based on this, the material can change its color or temperature.

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the missing part:

A. Yes, but the mystery material can change in only one way, such as by getting warm, because all the light that a material absorbs will affect that material in the same way.

B. No. The mystery material can’t change because the light is not a physical thing. Light cannot change physical things like the mystery material.

C. Yes and the mystery material can change in one or two different ways, such as by getting warm and/or changing color, because different types of light can cause different changes to a material when they are absorbed.

D. There is no way to know whether the mystery material will change or not.

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.

An object is dropped from the top of a building and is observed to take 7. 2s to hit the ground. How tall is the building?.
maw [93]

the height of the building is H=36 m.

<h3>What is The Law of Gravity?</h3>

According to Newton's law of gravity, every particle of matter in the universe is attracted to every other particle with a force that varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as their distance from one another.

Properties of Gravity -

  • It is a universal attractive force. It is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies.
  • It obey inverse square law.
  • It is the weakest force known in nature.

Examples of Gravity -

  • The force that holds the gases in the sun.
  • The force that causes a ball you throw in the air to come down again.
  • The force that causes a car to coast downhill even when you aren't stepping on the gas.

v₀=0 m/s

H₀=0 m

g=10 m/s²

t=7,2 s

H - ?

H= H_{0} + v_{0}t+\frac{gt^{2} }{2}   \\

H = 0 +0 × 7.2 + 10(7.2)²/2

H = 36m

The line graph below shows the number of downloads of two songs after
daser333 [38]

Answer: D

1200

Explanation:

Song 1 is spotted with a cube sign.

At 3 minute, trace the spot to the vertical axis. And you will notice that it a little bit above 10.

Since it is above 10, let assume it is equal to 12.

The number of song downloaded are in hundreds. Therefore, multiply the 12 by 100

12 × 100 = 1200 downloads

Approximately, song 1 has 1200 downloads at minute 3
