A small rocket to gather weather data is launched straight up. Several seconds into the flight, its velocity is 120 mis and it i

s accelerating at 18 mis 2. At this instant, the rocket's mass is 48 kg and it is losing mass at the rate of 0.50 kg/s as it burns fuel. What is the net force on the rocket?

The net force on the rocket is 864 N

Explanation:

The net force acting on the rocket can be calculated by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

For the rocket in this problem, at a certain instant we have:

m = 48 kg

a=18 m/s^2

Therefore, the force on the rocket is

F=(48)(18)=864 N

A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity v⃗ =(2.40 m/s)xˆv→=(2.40 m/s)x^ , and moves with constant acceleration a⃗
shtirl [24]

Answer:

distance stop 1.52m,

velocity  4.0 m/s y^

Explanation:

The movement of the particle is two-dimensional since it has acceleration in the x and y axes, the way to solve it is by working each axis independently.

a) At the point where the particle begins to return its velocity must be zero (Vfx = 0)

     Vfₓ = V₀ₓ + aₓ t  

     t = -  V₀ₓ/aₓ

     t = - 2.4/(-1.9)

     t=  1.26 s

At this time the particle stops, let's find his position

     X1 = V₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

     X1= 2.4 1.26 + ½ (-1.9) 1.26²

     X1= 1.52 m

At this point the particle begins its return

b) The velocity has component x and y

   As a section, the X axis x Vₓ = 0 m/s is stopped, but has a speed on the y axis

    Vfy= Voy + ay t

    Vfy= 0 + 3.2 1.26

    Vfy = 4.0 m/s

the velocity is  

    V = (0 x^ + 4.0 y^) m/s

c) In order to make the graph we create a table of the position x and y for each time, let's start by writing the equations

      X = V₀ₓ t+ ½  aₓ t²

      Y = Voy t + ½  ay t²

      X= 2.4 t + ½ (-1.9) t²

      Y= 0 + ½ 3.2 t²

      X= 2.4 t – 0.95 t²

      Y=   1.6 t²

With these equations we build the table to graph, for clarity we are going to make two distance graph with time, one for the x axis and another for the y axis

                       Chart to graph

              Time (s)     x(m)            y(m)

                 0                0               0

                 0.5             0.960       0.4

          1       1.45          1.6

                 1.50      1.46      3.6

Alex

Answer:

F_net = 26.512 N

Explanation:

Given:

Q_a = 3.06 * 10^(-4 ) C

Q_b = -5.7 * 10^(-4 ) C

Q_c = 1.08 * 10^(-4 ) C

R_ac = 3 m

R_bc = sqrt (3^2 + 4^2) = 5m

k = 8.99 * 10^9

Coulomb's Law:

F_i = k * Q_i * Q_j / R_ij^2

Compute F_ac and F_bc :

F_ac = k * Q_a * Q_c / R^2_ac

F_ac =  8.99 * 10^9* ( 3.06 * 10^(-4 ))* (1.08 * 10^(-4 )) / 3^2

F_ac = 33.01128 N

F_bc = k * Q_b * Q_c / R^2_bc

F_bc =  8.99 * 10^9* ( 5.7 * 10^(-4 ))* (1.08 * 10^(-4 )) / 5^2  

F_bc = - 22.137 N

Angle a is subtended between F_bc and y axis @ C

cos(a) = 3 / 5

sin (a) = 4 / 5

Compute F_net:

F_net = sqrt (F_x ^2 + F_y ^2)

F_x = sum of forces in x direction:

F_x = F_bc*sin(a) = 22.137*(4/5) = 17.71 N

F_y = sum of forces in y direction:

F_y = - F_bc*cos(a) + F_ac = - 22.137*(3/5) + 33.01128 = 19.72908 N

F_net = sqrt (17.71 ^2 + 19.72908 ^2) = 26.5119 N

Answer: F_net = 26.512 N

The speed of x-rays is A.faster than light B.slower than the speed of gamma rays C.Same as the speed of radio waves D.same as th
Vinvika [58]

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that are composed of electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the propagation. All electromagnetic waves have the same speed.

That is, 3×10⁸ m/s.

X-ray is one of the electromagnetic waves. So are light, gamma rays, and radio waves.

Thus the speed of all these waves is equal.

Thus, the correct answer is option C, "Same as speed of radio waves"
