Answer:

t = 16.5 s

Explanation:

First we apply first equation of motion to the accelerated motion of the rocket:

v_{f1} = v_{i1} + at_{1}

where,

vf₁ = final speed of rocket during accelerated motion = ?

vi₁ = initial speed of rocket during accelerated motion  = 0 m/s

a = acceleration of rocket during accelerated motion = 30 m/s²

t₁ = time taken during accelerated motion = 4 s

Therefore,

v_{f} = 0\ m/s + (30\ m/s^2)(4\ s)\\\\v_{f} = 120\ m/s

Now, we analyze the motion rocket when engine turns off. So, the rocket is now in free fall motion. Applying 1st equation of motion:

v_{f2} = v_{i2} + g t_{2}

where,

vf₂ = final speed of rocket after engine is off = 0 m/s

vi₂ = initial speed of rocket after engine is off  = Vf₁ = 120 m/s

g = acceleration of rocket after engine is off = - 9.8  m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

t₂ = time taken after engine is off = ?

Therefore,

0\ m/s = 120\ m/s + (- 9.8\ m/s^2)(t_{2})\\\\t_{2} = \frac{120\ m/s}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\t_{2} = 12.25\ s

So, the time taken from the firing position till the stopping position is:

t = t_{1} + t_{2}\\\\t = 4 s + 12.5 s

<u>t = 16.5 s</u>

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

D) They most likely died from not wearing a seatbelt.

Explanation:

Their death was caused by a "motor vehicle" (that's what MV stands for in this case). The most logical answer would be D.

A 5 kg mass is oscillating on a spring with a time period of 2.8 seconds. What is the spring constant k of the spring?
katrin [286]

Answer:

<em>k = 25.18 N/m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Simple Harmonic Oscillator</u>

It consists of a weight attached to one end of a spring being allowed to move forth and back.

If m is the mass of the weight and k is the constant of the spring, the period of the oscillation is given by:

\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {m}{k}}}

If the period is known, we can find the value of the constant by solving for k:

\displaystyle k=m\left(\frac{2\pi}{T}\right)^2

Substituting the given values m=5 Kg and T=2.8 seconds:

\displaystyle k=5 \left(\frac{2\pi}{2.8}\right)^2

k = 25.18 N/m
