As a rocket ascends, its acceleration increases even though the net force on it stays constant. why? (assume a traveling distanc

e small enough that the thrust, acceleration due to gravity and atmosphere do not change. the faster a rocket moves the more acceleration is imparted to it from a given force. as a rocket ascends it's momentum increases with it's speed. the greater the momentum of the rocket, the greater the acceleration imparted to it from a given force. as the rocket ascends, fuel is burned at a faster rate resulting in a larger acceleration. the rocket's mass decreases as its fuel is consumed. the same net force acting on a smaller mass results in a larger acceleration.

Answer:

Explanation:

A rocket is provided thrust and acceleration through the fuel which is filled within it, burning of fuel at faster rate provide larger acceleration to the rocket. However, as the fuel get consumed the mass of rocket also decreases and with the reduction of it's mass it's momentum and speed increases thereby, it ascends with larger acceleration despite the force of gravity acting upon it in opposite direction.

Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from top of a hill to the bottom, reaching a translational speed of 6.8 m/s. Ignore frict
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

for baseball

(a) Let the mass of the baseball is m.

radius of baseball is r.

Total kinetic energy of the baseball, T = rotational kinetic energy + translational kinetic energy

T = 0.5 Iω² + 0.5 mv²

Where, I be the moment of inertia and ω be the angular speed.

ω = v/r

T = 0.5 x 2/3 mr² x v²/r² + 0.5 mv²

T = 0.83 mv²

According to the conservation of energy, the total kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the total potential energy at the top.

m g h = 0.83 mv²

where, h be the height of the top of the hill.

9.8 x h = 0.83 x 6.8 x 6.8

h = 3.93 m

(b) Let the velocity of juice can is v'.

moment of inertia of the juice can = 1/2mr²

So, total kinetic energy

T = 0.5 x I x ω² + 0.5 mv²

T = 0.5 x 0.5 x m x r² x v²/r² + 0.5 mv²

m g h = 0.75 mv²

9.8 x 3.93 = 0.75 v²

v = 7.2 m/s

. If she
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, m=40\ kg

Spring constant is, k=176,400\ N/m

Compression in the spring is, x=20\ cm=0.20\ m

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

GPE=mgh=40\times 9.8\times h=392h

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is equal decrease in elastic potential energy. Therefore,

392h=3528\\\\h=\frac{3528}{392}\\\\h=9\ m

Therefore, Avi will reach a maximum height of 9 meters.
