(a) 5.35 s, 84.65 s

The distance covered by the rocket during the first part of the motion (accelerated motion) is

d_1 = \frac{1}{2}at_1 ^2 (1)

where

a = +35 ft/s^2 is the acceleration

While the distance covered during the second part of the motion (uniform motion) is

d_2 = v t_2

where v is the constant speed reached after the first part of the motion, which is given by

v=at_1

So we can rewrite the equation as

d_2 = a t_1 t_2 (2)

We also know:

d= d_1 + d_2 = 16350 (3) is the total distance

t= t_1 +t_2 = 90 (4) is the total time

We can rewrite (3) as

\frac{1}{2}at_1^2 + a t_1 t_2 = 16350 (5)

And (4) as

t_2 = 90-t_1

Substituting into (5), we get

\frac{1}{2}at_1^2 + a t_1 (90-t_1) = 16350\\0.5 at_1^2 + 90at_1 - at_1^2 = 16350\\-0.5at_1^2 +90at_1 = 16350

Substituting a=+35 ft/s^2, we have

-17.5 t_1^2 +3150 t_1 - 16350 = 0

which has two solutions:

t_1 = 174.65 s --> discarded, since the total time cannot be greater than 90 s

t_1 = 5.35 s --> this is the correct solution

And therefore t_2 is

t_2 = 90-t_1 = 90 -5.35 s=84.65 s

(b) 187.25 ft/s

The velocity v is the velocity at the end of the accelerated motion of the rocket, so after

t_1 = 5.35 s

The acceleration is

a = +35 ft/s^2

Therefore, the velocity after the first part is:

v=at_1 = (+35 ft/s^2)(5.35 s)=187.25 ft/s

(c) 16,585 ft

At the 15750 ft mark, the velocity of the sled is

v=187.25 ft/s

Then, it starts decelerating with acceleration

a = -21 ft/s^2

So, its distance covered during this part of the motion will be given by:

v_f ^ 2 -v^2 = 2ad_3

where

vf = 0 is the final speed

v = 187.25 ft/s is the initial speed

a = -21 ft/s^2 is the acceleration

d3 is the distance covered during this part

Solving for d3,

d_3 = \frac{v_f^2 -v^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(187.25 ft/s)^2}{2(-21 ft/s^2)}=835 ft

So, the final position of the sled will be

x_3 = 15750 ft + 835 ft =16,585 ft

(d) 93.92 s

The duration of the first part of the motion is

t_1 = 5.35 s

The distance covered during this part is

d_1 = \frac{1}{2}at_1^2=\frac{1}{2}(+35 ft/s^2)(5.35 s)^2=501 ft

In the second part (uniform motion), the sled continues with constant speed until the 15750 ft mark, so the distance covered is

d_2 = 15750- 835 =14915

And so the duration of the second part is

t_2 =\frac{d_2}{v}=\frac{14915}{187.25}=79.65 s

While the duration of the third part (decelerated motion) is

a=\frac{v_f-v}{t_3}\\t_3 = \frac{v_f-f}{a}=\frac{0-(187.25 ft/s)}{-21 ft/s^2}=8.92 s

So the total duration is

t = 5.35 s+79.65 s+8.92 s=93.92 s

Two spherical shells have a common center. A -2.1 10-6 C charge is spread uniformly over the inner shell, which has a radius of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

a) E_total = 6,525 10⁴ N /C ,field direction is radial outgoing

b)  E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / C, field is incoming radial

c) E_total = 0

Explanetion:

For this exercise we can use that the charge in a spherical shell can be considered concentrated at its center and that the electric field inside the shell is zero, since Gauss's law is

                Ф = E .dA = q_{int} /ε₀

inside the spherical shell there are no charges

The electric field is a vector quantity, so we calculate the field created by each shell and add it vectorly.

We have two sphere shells with radii 0.050m and 0.15m respectively

a) point where you want to know the electric field d = 0.20 m

shell 1

the point is on the outside,d>ro,  therefore we can consider the charge to be concentrated in the center

            E₁ = k q₁ / d²

             

shell 2

the point is on the outside,d>ro

             E₂ = k q₂ / d²

the total camp is

              E_total = -E₁ + E₂

              E_total = k ( \frac{-q_1 + q_2}{d^2})

              E_total = 9 10⁹ (-2.1 10⁻⁶+ 5 10⁻⁶ / .2²

              E_total = 6,525 10⁵ N /C

The field direction is radial and outgoing ti the shells

b) the calculation point is d = 0.10m

shell 1

point outside the shell d> ro

                 E₁ = k q₁ / d²

shell 2

the point is inside the shell d <ro

Therefore, according to Gauss's law, since there are no charges in the interior, the electrioc field is zero

                E₂ = 0

               

                 E_total = E₁

                 E_total = k q₁ / d²

                 E_total = 9 10⁹ 2.1 10⁻⁶ / 0.1²

                 E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / A

As the charge is negative, this field is incoming radial, that is, it is directed towards the shell 1

c) the point of interest d = 0.025 m

shell 1

point  is inside the shell d< ro

                 

as there are no charges inside

                     E₁ = 0

shell 2

point is inside the radius of the shell d <ro

                    E₂ = 0

the total field is

                    E_total = 0

A runner begins from rest at the starting line and travles for 6.5 seconds, a runner reaches a speed of 13.4 m/s what is the run
Butoxors [25]

The acceleration of the runner in the given time is 2.06m/s².

Given the data in the question;

Since the runner begins from rest,

  • Initial velocity; u = 0
  • Final velocity; v = 13.4m/s
  • Time elapsed; t = 6.5s

Acceleration of the runner; a = \ ?

<h3>Velocity and Acceleration</h3>

Velocity is the speed at which an object moves in a particular direction.

Acceleration is simply the rate of change of the velocity of a particle or object with respect to time. Now, we can see the relationship from the First Equation of Motion

v = u + at

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time elapsed.

To determine the acceleration of the runner, we substitute our given values into the equation above.

v = u + at\\\\13.4m/s = 0 + (a * 6.5s)\\\\13.4m/s = a * 6.5s\\\\a = \frac{13.4m/s}{6.5s}\\ \\a = 2.06m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the runner in the given time is 2.06m/s².
