Answer:

797700000 J

Explanation:

From the question,

The work done by the rocket, is given as,

W = Ek+Ep............. Equation 1

Where Ek and Ep are the potential and the kinetic energy of the rocket respectively.

Ep = mgh............ Equation 2

Ek = 1/2mv²............. equation 3

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

W = mgh+1/2mv².............. Equation 4

Where m = mass of the rocket, h = height, v = velocity of the rocket, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2000 kg, h = 12 km = 12000 m, v = 750 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 2000(12000)(9.8)+1/2(2000)(750²)

W = 235200000+562500000

W = 797700000 J

On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth that of earth. That is gmoon = gearth /6 = (9.8 m/s2 )/6 = 1.63 m/s2 .

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you. Your reaction tim
Bingel [31]

Answer:

given,

speed of the car = 20 m/s

final speed of car = 0 m/s

distance between car and the deer = 38 m

reaction time, t = 0.5 s

deceleration of the car = 10 m/s².

a) distance between deer and car

  distance travel in the reaction time

   d₁ = v x t

   d₁ = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m

   distance travel after you apply brake

   using equation of motion

   v² = u² + 2 a s

   0 = 20² - 2 x 10 x s

    s =  20 m

total distance traveled by the car

D = d₁ + d₂

D = 20 + 10 = 30 m

  distance between car and the deer = 38 m - 30 m

                                                              = 8 m

b) now, maximum speed car.

   distance travel in reaction time

    d₁ = s x t

    d₁ = 0.5 V

distance left between them

   d₂ = 38 - d₁

   d₂ = 38 - 0.5 V

   distance travel after you apply brake

   using equation of motion

    v² = u² + 2 a d₂

    0 = (V)² - 2 x 10 x (38 - 0.5 V)

     V² + 10 V - 760 = 0

now, solving the quadratic equation

  x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

  V = \dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4(1)(-760)}}{2(1)}

         V = 23.01 , -33.01

rejecting the negative term.

hence, maximum speed of the car could be V = 23.01 m/s

a student in your class says "electromagnetic waves can travel through outer space but mechanical waves can’t.” is it this stude
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel
