Answer:

797700000 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The work done by the rocket, is given as,

W = Ek+Ep............. Equation 1

Where Ek and Ep are the potential and the kinetic energy of the rocket respectively.

Ep = mgh............ Equation 2

Ek = 1/2mv²............. equation 3

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

W = mgh+1/2mv².............. Equation 4

Where m = mass of the rocket, h = height, v = velocity of the rocket, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2000 kg, h = 12 km = 12000 m, v = 750 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 2000(12000)(9.8)+1/2(2000)(750²)

W = 235200000+562500000

W = 797700000 J

If the current through a 20-Ω resistor is 8.0 A , how much energy is dissipated by the resistor in 1.0 h ? Express your answer w
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

P(3600)=593.247W

Explanation:

First, let's find the voltage through the resistor using ohm's law:

V=IR=20*8=160V

AC power as function of time can be calculated as:

P(t)= V*I*cos(\phi)-V*I*cos(2 \omega t-\phi)  (1)

Where:

\phi=Phase\hspace{3}angle\\\omega= Angular\hspace{3}frequency

Because of the problem doesn't give us additional information, let's assume:

\phi=0\\\omega=2 \pi f=2*\pi *(60)=120\pi

Evaluating the equation (1) in t=3600 (Because 1h equal to 3600s):

P(3600)=160*8*cos(0)-160*8*cos(2*120\pi*3600-0)\\P(3600)=1280-1280*cos(2714336.053)\\P(3600)=1280-1280*0.5365255751\\P(3600)=1280-686.7527361=593.2472639\approx=593.247W
