A toy rocket is launched straight up by using a spring. The rocket is initially pressed down on the spring so that the spring is

compressed by 9 cm. If the spring constant is 830 N/m and the mass of the rocket is 50 g, how high will the rocket fly?

Answer:

6.86 meters

Explanation:

Let the compression of the string be represented by x, and the height of projection of the toy rocket be represented by h.

So that;

x = 9 cm = 0.09 m

In its rest position (i.e before the launch), the spring has a stored potential energy which is given as;

PE = \frac{1}{2} Kx^{2}

    = \frac{1}{2} x 830 x (0.09)^{2}

    = 415 x 0.0081

    = 3.3615

The potential energy in the string = 3.36 Joules

Also,

PE = mgh

where: m is the mass, g is the gravitational force and h the height.

m = 50 g = 0.05 kg, g = 9.8 ms^{-2}

Thus,

PE = 0.05 x 9.8 x h

3.3615 = 0.05 x 9.8 x h

3.3615 = 0.49h

⇒ h = \frac{3.3615}{0.49}

      = 6.8602

The height of the toy rocket would be 6.86 meters.

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

xenn [34]

Answer:

The planet Jupiter completes one revolution of the sun in 362710000 seconds. Long time, right?

Explanation:

3.154x10^7=3.154x10000000=31540000

11.5x31540000=362710000

A stationary siren on a firehouse is blaring at 81Hz. Assume the speed of sound to be 343m/s. What is the frequency perceived by
inn [45]

For a stationary siren on a firehouse is blaring at 81Hz. Assume the speed of sound to be 343m/s, the frequency perceived  is mathematically given as'

F=81.721Hz

<h3>What is the frequency perceived by a firefighter racing toward the station at 11km/h?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the doppler effect  is mathematically given as

F'=\frac{vs+v}{vs}*f

Therefore

F=81(343+3.05556)/343

F=81.721Hz

In conclusion, the frequency is

F=81.721Hz
