Why would a rocket fall vertically downwards if it was launched vertically upwards

Answer:

It would because the shape of the rocket is designed to be able to slice through the air as smooth as possible and now you may be thinking that air is already smooth but when you try to push something as large and heavy like a rocket then the shape of the rocket will be very important. The bottom of the rocket is flatter then the top so it is not designed to fly smoothly through the air. So the rocket would fall vertically downward(If it was still in one piece)because of it's shape. It is easier for the top of the rocket to go smoothly through the air then the bottom.

At highway speeds, a particular car is capable of an acceleration of about 1.6 m/s?. At this rate,

kicyunya [14]

Given parameters:

Acceleration of the car = 1.6m/s

Initial speed = 80km/hr

Final speed = 110km/hr

Solution:

Time taken to achieve this speed = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with the time taken.

Mathematically;

a = $\frac{V - U}{T}$

where a is the acceleration

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

T is the time taken

Now make the unknown time the subject of the expression;

aT = V - U

T = $\frac{V - U}{a}$

Convert the given acceleration to km/hr;

1.6m/s = 1.6 x $\frac{m}{s}$ x $\frac{1km}{1000m}$ x $\frac{3600s}{1hr}$ = 5.76km/hr

Input the parameters and solve;

T = $\frac{110 - 80}{5.76}$ = 5.2hrs

The time taken is 5.2hrs

Which statements about braking a car are true? A)The greater the kinetic energy of a car, the longer it takes for the car to sto

NikAS [45]

Answer:

option c

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is due to the speed of a body.

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

When speed is doubled, the kinetic energy is quadruple.

From third equation of motion, braking distance is also proportional to square of speed. Thus, when speed is doubled, the braking distance is quadruple.

Thus, option c is correct.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

$\frac{L_1}{L_2} =\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for an inductance (L) for coil on N turns, are A and current I is given by:

$L=\frac{\mu_0\,N^2\,A}{I}$

Then, for the first coil we have;

$L_1=\frac{\mu_0\,N^2\,A}{I}$

and for coil 2 we have:

$L_2=\frac{\mu_0\,(6\,N)^2\,(A/4)}{3\,I}$

then, the quotient L1/L2 can be written as:

$\frac{L_1}{L_2} =\frac{\mu_0\,N^2\,A\,3\,I}{\mu_0\,(6\,N)^2\,(A/4)\,I}=\frac{12}{36} =\frac{1}{3}$
