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

Rom4ik [11]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The distance will be 1800 m

<h2>Explanation</h2>

As in question

Time = 15 min

Time = 15 x 60 sec = 900 sec

Speed = 2 m/s

We know that

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance = 2 x 900

Distance = 1800 m

So, the answer is 1800 m

NASA scientists suggest using rotating cylindrical spacecraft to replicate gravity while in a weightless environment. Consider s
dusya [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter of spacecraft d=148\ m

radius r=74\ m

Force of gravity F_g=mg

where m =mass of object

g=acceleration due to  gravity on earth

Suppose v is the speed at which spacecraft is rotating so a net centripetal  acceleration is acting on spacecraft which is given by

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

F_c=F_g

\frac{mv^2}{r}=mg

\frac{v^2}{r}=g

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{1450.4}

v=38.08\ m/s

A platinum ball weighing 100 g is removed from a furnace and dropped into 400 g of water at 0 degree C. If the equilibrium tempe
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

T = 1010 degree Celsius

Explanation:

mass of ball (Mb) = 100 g

mass of water (Mw) = 400 g

temp of water = 0 degree

specific heat of platinum (C) = 0.04 cal/g degree celsius

we can calculate the temperature of the furnace from the equation before

Mb x C x (temp of furnace (T) - equilibrium temp) = Mw x (equilibrium temp - temp of furnace)

100 x 0.04 x ( T - 10) = 400 x (10 - 0)

4 (T - 10) = 4000

T - 10 = 1000

T = 1010 degree Celsius
