A rocket sled accelerates from rest for a distance of 645 m at 16.0 m/s2. A parachute is then used to slow it down to a stop. If

the parachute gives the sled an acceleration of -18.2 m/s2 and there is 500.0 m of sled track remaining after the shoot opens, will the sled stop before running off the track? Show why or why not?

Answer:

the stopping distance is greater than the free length of the track, the vehicle leaves the track before it can brake

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the kinematics relations, let's start by finding the final velocity of the acceleration period

          v² = v₀² + 2 a₁ x

indicate that the initial velocity is zero

          v² = 2 a₁ x

let's calculate

          v = \sqrt {2 \ 15.0 \ 645}

          v = 143.666 m / s

now for the second interval let's find the distance it takes to stop

          v₂² = v² - 2 a₂ x₂

in this part the final velocity is zero (v₂ = 0)

         0 = v² - 2 a₂ x₂

         x₂ = v² / 2a₂

let's calculate

         x₂ = \frac{ 143.666^2 }{2 \  18.2}

         x₂ = 573 m

as the stopping distance is greater than the free length of the track, the vehicle leaves the track before it can brake

What is the first semiconductor

English "natural philosopher" (the contemporary term for physicist) Michael Faraday is renowned for his discovery of the principles of electro-magnetic induction and electro-magnetic rotation, the interaction between electricity and magnetism that led to the development of the electric motor and generator. The unit of measurement of electrical capacitance - the farad (F) - is named in his honor. Faraday's experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene, also led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a semiconductor. While investigating the effect of temperature on "sulphurette of silver" (silver sulfide) in 1833 he found that electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature. This effect, typical of semiconductors, is the opposite of that measured in metals such as copper, where conductivity decreases as temperature is increased. In a chapter entitled "On Conducting Power Generally" in his book Experimental Researches in Electricity Faraday writes "I have lately met with an extraordinary case ... which is in direct contrast with the influence of heat upon metallic bodies ... On applying a lamp ... the conducting power rose rapidly with the heat ... On removing the lamp and allowing the heat to fall, the effects were reversed." We now understand that raising the temperature of most semiconductors increases the density of charge carriers inside them and hence their conductivity. This effect is used to make thermistors - special resistors that exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature. <span> Next Milestone </span> Contemporary Documents <span> <span>Faraday, M.

You are on a sled at the top of a hemispherical, snowy hill of radius 13 m. You begin to slide down the hill. How fast are you m
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be loss of potential energy due to loss of height and gain of kinetic energy .

loss of height = R - R cos 14 ,    R is radius of hemisphere .

R ( 1 - cos 12 )

= 13 ( 1 - .978 )

h = .286 m

loss of potential energy

= mgh

= m x 9.8 x .286

= 2.8 m

gain of kinetic energy

1/2 m v ² = mgh

v² = 2 g h

v²  = 2 x 9.8 x 2.8

v = 7.40 m /s

If you are traveling around a curve at a constant speed will your velocity change?
marta [7]

Velocity means [ (speed) and (direction) ].

If you're traveling around a curve, then your direction is
always changing.  So your velocity is always changing,
even if your speed isn't.

14. The design for a rotating spacecraft below consists of two rings. The outer ring with a radius of 30 m holds the living quar
Zolol [24]

Answer:

T= 11.0003s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The outer ring with a radius of 30 m

inner Gravity Approximately 9.80 m/s'

Outer Gravity Approximately 5.35 m/s.

Generally  the equation for centripetal force is given mathematically as

Centripetal acceleration enables Rotation therefore?

     \omega ^2 r =Angular\ acc

Considering the outer ring,

 \omega ^2 r = 9.8

  \omega ^2= \frac{9.8}{30}

 \omega = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{30}}

 \omega= 0.571 rad/s

Therefore solving for  Period T

Generally the equation for solving Period T is mathematically given as

 T= \frac{2\pi}{\omega}

 T= \frac{2\pi}{0.571 rad/s}

 T= 11.0003s
