A student builds a rocket-propelled cart for a science project. Its acceleration is not quite high enough to win a prize, so he

uses a larger rocket engine that provides 39% more thrust, although doing so increases the mass of the cart by 13%. By what percentage does the cart's acceleration increase?

Answer:

Explanation:

a = F / m

where a is acceleration , F is thrust and m is mass

taking log and differentiating

da / a = dF / F - dm / m

(da / a)x 100 = (dF / F)x100 - (dm / m) x100

percentage increase in a = percentage increase in F - percentage increase in m

= percentage increase in acceleration a   = 39 - 13 = 26 %

required increase = 26 %.

A toy car is moving across a table with a velocity of 7.0 m/s and drives off the end. The table is 1.8 m tall. How long will the
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Option D - 0.2 s

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity; u = 7 m/s

Height of table; h = 1.8m

Now,since we want to find the time the car spent in the air, we will simply use one of Newton's equation of motion.

Thus;

h = ut + ½gt²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

1.8 = 7t + ½(9.8)t²

4.9t² + 7t - 1.8 = 0

Using quadratic formula to find the roots of the equation gives us;

t = -1.65 or 0.22

We can't have negative t value, thus we will pick the positive one.

So, t = 0.22 s

This is approximately 0.2 s

12. An object accelerates 16.3 m/s2 when a force of 4.6 newtons is applied to it.
ladessa [460]
The acceleration of body is given 16.3m/s2 and the force is given 4.6 N then
We know,
Force=mass*acceleration
Then,
Mass=force/acceleration
Mass=4.6/16.3
Mass=0.28kg
