Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)
Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.
Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.
Answer;
D. rocket engines are not dependent on oxygen from the air.
Explanation;
-Jet engines and rockets work on the same principle. They produce thrust through an internal pressure difference and, as explained by Newton’s Third Law of Motion, eject exhaust gases in an equal and opposite direction.
-The main difference between them is that jets get the oxygen to burn fuel from the air and rockets carry their own oxygen, which allows them to operate in space.
Additionally, Jet engines have two openings (an intake and an exhaust nozzle). Rocket engines only have one opening (an exhaust nozzle).
Answer: A.AB
Explanation:
This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.
As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:
OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.
AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>
BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.
CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.
From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:
Segment AB
Answer:
a.Beth
b.2232 s
Explanation:
We are given that
Distance,d=400 mi
Speed of Alan,v=45 mph
Speed of Beth,v'=55 mph
a.Time =
Using the formula
Time taken by Alan=
Time taken by Beth=
Alan will reach San Francisco at 4:53 PM
Beth will reach San Francisco at 4:16 PM
Beth will reach before Alan.
b.Difference between time=8.89-7.27=1.62 hr
t=1.62 hr
1.62-1=0.62 hr
0.62 hr=
Hence, Beth has to wait 2232 s for Alan to arrive .
