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

‏A 50 - N x m torque acts on a wheel with a moment of inertia 150 kg x m² . If the wheel starts from rest , how long will it tak
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

t = 6.17 s

Explanation:

For a 1 revolution movement, \triangle \theta = 2\pi

Torque, \tau = 50 Nm

Moment of Inertia, I = 150 kg m^2

If the wheel starts from rest, w_{0} = 0 rad/s

The angular displacement of the wheel can be given by the formula:

\triangle \theta = \omega_0 t + 0.5 \alpha t^2................(1)

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration

\tau = I \alpha\\\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} \\\alpha = 50/150\\\alpha = 0.33 rad/s^2

To get t, put all necessary parameters into equation (1)

2\pi = 0(t) + 0.5(0.33)t^2\\2\pi =0.5(0.33)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{4 \pi}{0.33} \\t^2 = 38.08\\t = 6.17 s

john is using a pulley to lift the sail on his sailboat. the sail weighs 150N and he must lift it at 4.0m. how much work must be
gogolik [260]

The work done on the sail is 600 J

Explanation:

The work done to lift the sail is equal to the gain in gravitational potential energy of the sail, therefore is:

W=mg\Delta h

where

m is the mass of the sail

g is the acceleration of gravity

(mg) is the weight of the sail

\Delta h is the change in height of the sail

In this problem we have

mg = 150 N (weight)

\Delta h = 4.0 m

Substituting, we find the work done:

W=(150)(4.0)=600 J
