A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 79.6 m/s at ground level.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The rocket is motion above the ground for 44.7 s.

Explanation:

The equations for the height of the rocket are as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

and, after the engine fails:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the rocket at time t

y0 =  initial height

v0 = initial speed

t=  time

a = acceleration due to the engines

g = acceleration due to gravity

First, let´s calculate the time the rocket is being accelerated by the engines:

(The center of the framer of reference is located at the ground, y0 = 0).

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

1190 m = 0 m + 79.6 m/s · t + 1/2 · 4.10 m/s² · t²

0 = 2.05  m/s² · t² + 79.6 m/s · t - 1190 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 11.5 s  (the other value of t is discarded because it is negative).

At that time, the engines fail and the rocket starts to fall. The equation of the height will be:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

The initial velocity (v0) will be the velocity acquired during 11.5 s of acceleration plus the initial velocity of launch:

v = v0 + a · t

v = 79.6 m/s + 4.10 m/s² · 11.5 s

v = 126.8 m/s

Now, we can calculate the time it takes the rocket to reach the ground (y = 0) from a height of 1190 m:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 m = 1190 m + 126.8 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.80 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 33.2 s

Then, the total time the rocket is in motion is (33.2 s + 11.5 s) 44.7 s

Tourists covered 255 km for a 4-hour ride by car and a 7-hour ride by train. what is the speed of the train, if it is 5 km/h gre
LekaFEV [45]
The distance covered by car is equal to (assuming it is moving by uniform motion) the product between the car's speed and the time of the car ride, 4 h:
S_c = v_c t_c
where
v_c is the car's speed
t_c = 4 h is the duration of the car ride

Similarly, the distance covered by train is equal to the product between the train's speed and the duration of the train ride, 7 h:
S_t = v_t t_t

The total distance covered is S=255 km, which is the sum of the distances covered by car and train:
S=255 km = S_c + S_t
which becomes
255 = 4 v_c + 7 v_t (1)
we also know that the train speed is 5 km/h greater than the car's speed:
v_t = 5 + v_c (2)

If we put (2) into (1), we find
255 = 4v_c + 7(5+v_c)
and if we solve it, we find
v_c = 20 km/h
v_t = 25 km/h

So, the car speed is 20 km/h and the train speed is 25 km/h.

What is the unit of work in SI system?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Joule ;)

Explanation:

In the case of work (and also energy), the standard metric unit is the Joule (abbreviated J). One Joule is equivalent to one Newton of force causing a displacement of one meter. In other words, The Joule is the unit of work.

Hope this helps!
