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

Answer: Linear speed is 1,670 Kph.

Explanation:

If we assume that the earth is a perfect sphere, and that is spinning itself once every roughly 24 hr, we can get the angular velocity of the Earth, in magnitude, as follows:

ω = 2π / 24 Hr

Now, by definition, an angle is the relationship between the arc s, and the radius r, so we can replace these values in the angular velocity expression, as follows:

ω = (Δs / r) . 1/Δt ⇒ ω = (Δs/Δt). 1/r

But, by definition, Δs/At, is just the linear velocity, v, so we can conclude the following;

ω = v/r ⇒ v = ω. r

So, we can get v, as follows:

v = 2π /24 hr . 6378 Km = 1,670 Km/hr.

What is the Scientific definition of friction?
seropon [69]
Friction<span> is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Hope this is of great help to you, and happy studying~!
