Answer:

a) 98 m/s

b) 19.6 s

c)  1449.8 m

d)  29.6 s

e)  168.6 m/s

f)  46.8 s

Explanation:

Given that

Acceleration of the rocket, a = 5 m/s²

Altitude of the rocket, s = 960 m

a)

Using the equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as, considering that the initial velocity, u is 0. Then

v² = 2as

v = √2as

v = √(2 * 5 * 960)

v = √9600

v = 98 m/s

b)

Using the equation of motion

S = ut + ½at², considering that initial velocity, u = 0. So that

S = ½at²

t² = 2s/a

t² = (2 * 960) / 5

t² = 1920 / 5

t² = 384

t = √384 = 19.6 s

c)

Using the equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as, where u = 98 m/s, a = -9.8 m/s², so that

0 = 98² + 2(-9.8) * s

9600 = 19.6s

s = 9600/19.6

s = 489.8 m

The maximum altitude now is

960 m + 489.8 m = 1449.8 m

d)

Using the equation of motion

v = u + at, where initial velocity, u = 98 m, a = -9.8 m/s. So that

0 = 98 +(-9.8 * t)

98 = 9.8t

t = 98/9.8

t = 10 s

Total time then is, 10 + 19.6 = 29.6 s

e) using the equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as, where initial velocity, u = o, acceleration a = 9.8 m/s, and s = 1449.8 m. So that,

v² = 0 + 2 * 9.8 * 1449.8

v² = 28416.08

v = √28416.08

v = 168.6 m/s

f) using the equation of motion

S = ut + ½at², where s = 1449.8 m and a = 9.8 m/s

1449.8 = 0 + ½ * 9.8 * t²

2899.6 = 9.8t²

t² = 2899.6/9.8

t² = 295.88

t = √295.88

t = 17.2 s

total time in air then is, 17.2 + 29.6 = 46.8 s

In concave mirror, the size of image depends upon
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The distance of the object placed on the principal axis from the concave mirror.

Explanation:

In a concave mirror, the nature of the image formed formed by the object placed in front of the mirror depends on the position of the object placed in from of the mirror. It all depends on the distance between the mirror and the object placed on the principal axis.

The closer the object is to the lens, the more larger or magnified the image formed will be. For example an object placed between the focal point and the pole of a concave produces a much larger image than an object placed beyond the centre of curvature of such mirror.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. complete the sentence to describe the distance and ruler postulates. between
Tresset [83]

This question is an illustration of the distance postulate.

<h3>What is distance postulate ?</h3>

The distance between any two different points equates to a single positive real integer, according to the postulate of distance.

The full text is: The distance is a positive unique integer between every pair of different locations.

Consider two separate points A and B as an example.

The distance between A and B is the integer that represents the size of A and B.

The positive number (i.e. the distance) between A and B would be:

d= B-A

d = 6 - 1

d = 1

When an atom that has no charge looses two electrons it becomes a
alex41 [277]

Answer: it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form. Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.
