Answer:

The maximum height reached by the rocket is 486.53 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the rocket, u = 0

acceleration of the rocket, a= 20 m/s²

duration of the rocket first motion, t = 4 s

The distance traveled by the rocket before its thrust failed

h₁ = ut + ¹/₂at²

h₁ = 0 + ¹/₂ x 20 x 4²

h₁ = 160 m

The second distance moved by the rocket is calculated as follows;

The velocity of the rocket before its thrust failed;

v = u + at

v = 0 +  20 x 4

v = 80 m/s

This becomes the initial velocity for the second stage

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0

v_f^0 = v_i^2 - 2gh_2\\\\0 = (80)^2 - (2 \times 9.8)h_2\\\\0 = 6400 - 19.6h_2\\\\19.6h_2 = 6400\\\\h_2 = \frac{6400}{19.6} \\\\h_2 = 326.53 \ m

The maximum height reached by the rocket = h₁ + h₂

                                                                          = 160 + 326.53

                                                                          = 486.53 m

How can a volcano develop in the middle of a tectonic plate?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Volcanoes that form away from plate boundaries are created by hotspots. A hotspot is an area in the mantle that is believed to be somewhat hotter than the surrounding material. The rising magma from the hotspot can push its way through the crust and burst out at the surface, forming a volcano.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

K_{total} = 19.4 J

Explanation:

The total kinetic energy that is formed by the linear part and the rotational part is requested

         K_{total} = K_{traslation}  + K_{rotation}

let's look for each energy

linear

        K_{traslation} = ½ m v²

rotation

        K_{rotation} = ½ I w²

the moment of inertia of a solid sphere is

       I = 2/5 m r²

we substitute

       K_{total} = ½ mv² + ½ I w²

           

angular and linear velocity are related

           v = w r

we substitute

           K_{total} = ½ m w² r² + ½ (2/5 m r²) w²

           K_{total} = m w² r² (½ + 1/5)

           K_{total} = \frac{7}{10} m w² r²

let's calculate

           K_{total} = \frac{7}{10}   6.40 16.0² 0.130²

           K_{total} = 19.4 J
