Answer:

The instantaneous velocity of the rocket the moment before it hits the ground is 50 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the rocket, u = 50 m/s

Determine the maximum height reached by the rocket.

at maximum height reached by the rocket, the final velocity, v = 0

v² = u² -2gh

0 = 50² - 2(9.8)h

19.6h = 2500

h = 2500 / 19.6

h = 127.55 m

At maximum height, the time to reach ground is given by;

h = ¹/₂gt²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t =  \sqrt{\frac{2*127.55}{9.8} }\\\\ t = 5.1 \ s

Before the rocket hits the ground the final velocity will be maximum;

v = u + gt

v = 0 + 9.8 x 5.1

v = 50 m/s

Therefore, the instantaneous velocity of the rocket the moment before it hits the ground is 50 m/s.

The number of revolutions of two pulleys is inversely proportional to their diameters. If a 24-inch diameter pulley making 400 r
Fed [463]

Answer:

C) 1200 rpm

Explanation:

D_1 = Diameter of bigger pulley = 24 inch

D_2 = Diameter of smaller pulley = 8 inch

N_1 = Speed of bigger pulley = 400 rpm

N_2 = Speed of smaller pulley

The relation between revolutions per minute and diameter is that they are inversely proportional.

\frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{D_2}{D_1}\\\Rightarrow \frac{400}{N_2}=\frac{8}{24}\\\Rightarrow N_2=\frac{24\times 400}{8}\\\Rightarrow N_2=1200\ rpm

The number of revolutions per minute of the smaller pulley is 1200 rpm

A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of ma
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Given that:

m- mass of first & second piece, 3m-mass of 3rd piece,\bar v_1-velocity of first piece(-23\dot i \ m/s) and \bar v_2 as velocity of 2nd piece (-23\dot j \ m/s)

Let \bar v_3 be velocity of 3rd piece=?

#Vessel is at rest before explosion. Considering conservation of linear momentum:

m\bar v_1 +m\bar v_2 +3m \bar v_3=0   #Dividing both sides by m, m\neq 0

\bar v_1+ \bar v_2 +3\bar v_3=0\\3\bar v_3=-(\bar v_1 +\bar v_2)\\\bar v_3=-\frac{1}{3}(\bar v_1 +\bar v_2)

#Plug the\bar v_1 ,\bar v_2  values:

\bar v_3=-\frac{1}{3}(-23\dot i -23\dot j)=\frac{1}{3}(23\dot i +23\dot j)

#So the magnitude of the third piece is:

|\bar v_3|=\sqrt{(23/3)^2+(23/3)^2}\\=10.84m/s

Magnitude of the 3rd piece is 10.84 m/s

b. To find direction of the magnitude (as an angle relative to the x-axis), we find \angle \theta. The angle is obtained by getting the tan inverse as:

\theta=tan^-^1(\frac{23/3}{23/3})\\=45\textdegree

-The direction of the magnitude (angle relative to the x-axis) is 45°

We know the moon circulates the Earth. Suppose the mass of the Earth and moon are 5.9742 x1024 kg and 7.36 x 1022 kg, whereas th
algol [13]

Answer:

The gravitational force between two objects, one of mass M1 and the other of mass M2, is:

F = G*M1*M2/R^2

Where G is a constant:

G = 6.6x10^11 m^3*/(kg*s^2)

And R is the distance between the two objects.

M1 = 5.9742x10^24 kg

M2 = 7.36x10^22 kg

R = 382171 km = 382171000 m

Then the gravitational force is:

F = 6.6x10^-11 m^3*/(kg*s^2)*(5.9742x10^24 kg)*(7.36x10^22 kg)/(382171000 m)^2

F = 1.987x10^20 N

The mass of a coin is measured to be 12.5±0.1 g. The diameter is 2.8±0.1 cm and the thickness 2.1 ±0.1 mm. Calculate the average
Evgesh-ka [11]

The average density of the material from which the coin is made is 9.67 g/cm³.

<h3>Volume of the coin</h3>

The volume of the coin at the given diameter is calculated as follows;

V = Ah

where;

  • A is area of the coin
  • h is the thickness of the coin

V = πd²/4 x h

V = π(2.8)²/4  x (0.21 cm)

V = 1.293 cm³

<h3>average density of the coin</h3>

The average density of the material from which the coin is made is calculated as follows;

density = mass/volume

density = 12.5 g / (1.293 cm³)

density = 9.67 g/cm³

Thus, the average density of the material from which the coin is made is 9.67 g/cm³.
