As a science fair project, you want to launch an 800 g model rocket st raight up and hit a horizontally moving target as it pass

es 30 m above the launch point. The rocket engine provides a constant thrust of 15.0 N. The target is approaching at a speed of 15 m/s. At what horizontal dista nce between the target a nd the rocket should you launch

Sum the forces in the y (upward) direction

\sum F_y = ma

F_t +F_w = ma

15N - (0.800kg)(9.81m/s^2) = 0.800kg * a

a = 8.94 m/s^2

Applying the kinematic equations of linear motion we have that the displacement as a function of the initial speed, acceleration and time is

s = v_0t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

30 = 0 +\frac{1}{2} (8.94) t^2

t = 2.59 s

Again through the kinematic equation of linear motion that describes velocity as the change of displacement in a given time, we have to

v = \frac{d}{t} \rightarrow d = vt

d = (15m/s)(2.59s)

d = 38.85m

Therefore the horizontal distance between the target and the rocket should be 38.83m

son4ous [18]
A transfer of charge is actually a gross movement of electrons. Charged objects have a normal or "balanced" state. This state is balanced in a sense of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). When an object has an excess of deficiency of electrons, it will try to regain its balance by releasing or accepting electrons.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The acceleration is 1 cm/s^2.

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Here, initial velocity, u = 3/1 = 3 cm/s

final velocity, v = 4/1 = 4 cm/s

time, t = 1 s

Let the acceleration is a.  

Use first equation of motion

v =  u + at

4 = 3 + 1 x a

a = 1 cm/s^2

Artyom0805 [142]
I already answered this quesiton. The fact is that there are only two kind of poles and since the two taped poles of the magnets labeled A and B attracts one to each other, we know that the two taped poles of the first two magnets are oppsosite.

Then, the taped pole of the third magnet has to be equal to one of the first two taped poles and opposite to the other of the first two taped poles.

That drives you to conclude (predict)  that when she brings the taped end of the third magnet (magnet C) near each of the first two magntes, in one case they will attract each other and in the other case they will repele mutually.
