The answer is D. Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids because sound insulators basically muffle and block the sound waves.

A rocket moves upward from rest with an acceleration of 40 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then runs out of fuel and continues to move up

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Maximum height of rocket = 2538.74 m

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

For first 5 seconds

s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m

Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.

We have the equation of motion v = u + at

After 5 seconds velocity of rocket

v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s

After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.

Time of flying after 5 seconds

$t=\frac{200}{9.81}=20.38s$

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s

s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m

Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m

A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho

amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

If wheel turning at a constant rate completes 100 revolutions in 10 s its angular speed is:

GenaCL600 [577]

The frequency of the wheel is given by:
$f= \frac{N}{t}$
where N is the number of revolutions and t is the time taken. By using N=100 and t=10 s, we find the frequency of the wheel:
$f= \frac{100}{10 s}=10 s^{-1}$

And now we can find the angular speed of the wheel, which is related to the frequency by:
$\omega=2 \pi f=2 \pi (10 s^{-1})=62.8 s^{-1}$
