Answer:

a)   a = 34.375 m / s²,  b)    v_f = 550 m / s

Explanation:

This problem is the launch of projectiles, they tell us to ignore the effect of the friction force.

a) Let's start with the final part of the movement, which is carried out from t= 16 s with constant speed

             v_f = \frac{x-x_1}{t}

we substitute the values

             v_f = \frac{ 6600 -x_1}{4}  

The initial part of the movement is carried out with acceleration

             v_f = v₀ + a t

             x₁ = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

the rocket starts from rest v₀ = 0 with an initial height x₀ = 0

             x₁ = ½ a t²

             v_f = a t

we substitute the values

              x₁ = 1/2  a 16²

              x₁ = 128 a

              v_f = 16 a

let's write our system of equations  

               v_f = \frac{6600 - x_1}{4}

               x₁ = 128 a

               v_f = 16 a

we substitute in the first equation  

               16 a = \frac{6600 -128 a}{4}

               16 4 a = 6600 - 128 a

                a (64 + 128) = 6600

                a = 6600/192

                 a = 34.375 m / s²

b) let's find the time to reach this height

                x = ½ to t²

                t² = 2y / a

                t² = 2 5100 / 34.375

                t² = 296.72

                t = 17.2 s

We can see that for this time the acceleration is zero, so the rocket is in the constant velocity part

               v_f = 16 a

               v_f = 16 34.375

               v_f = 550 m / s

This is best explained through the use of an optics diagram, this is a little too complicated to explain in a short answer, and as I can't draw an appropriate diagram in this answer, I will point you to this excellent resource which explains what you have asked very well!

Go onto the BBC website (you should have access to it even if you aren't in the UK) and paste this after the BBC url,

A student places blocks on a 100cm long see-saw as shown/
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Part 1)

\tau_1 = 5 \times (0.50) = 2.5 N m

Part 2)

\tau_2 = 14 \times (0.30) = 4.2 N m

Part 3)

\tau_3 = 1.4 N m

Part 4)

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

Explanation:

As we know that the block A is placed at distance

d = 50 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of A is given as

\tau_1 = 5 \times (0.50) = 2.5 N m

the block B is placed at distance

d = 30 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of B is given as

\tau_2 = 14 \times (0.30) = 4.2 N m

Now torque due to weight of the scale is given as

\tau_3 = 7(0.20)

\tau_3 = 1.4 N m

now torque on left side of scale is given as

\tau_{left} = \tau_1 + \tau_3

\tau_{left} = 2.5 + 1.4 = 3.9 N m

Torque on right Side is given as

\tau_{right} = \tau_2 = 4.2 Nm

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

The weight of an object is the force generated by Earth's gravity accelerating the object's _________. distance mass time destin
julsineya [31]
The weight of an object is the force of gravity between Earth's
mass and the object's mass.

The forces of gravity always come in equal, opposite pairs. 
The Earth's weight on the object is the same as the object's
weight on the Earth, and when the object falls to Earth, Earth
falls to the object.
