Answer:
1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.
2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.
Explanation:
1. Newton's second law of motion states;
F = ma
where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.
2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;
From Newton's second law,
F = ma
Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)
Slope =
⇒ =
Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.
Answer:
Kinetic energy is 1425.11 J.
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the wrench is,
Height of fall is,
Force of resistance is,
Now, the total energy at the top is equal to the potential energy of the wrench at the top since the kinetic energy at the top is 0.
Now, potential energy at the top is given as:
Now, the potential energy at the top is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and some energy is wasted in overcoming the resistance force by air.
Potential Energy = Kinetic energy + Energy to overcome resistance.
⇒ Kinetic energy = Potential Energy - Energy to overcome resistance.
Energy to overcome resistance force is the work done by the wrench against the resistance force and is given as:
Therefore, Kinetic energy at the bottom is given as:
Hence, the kinetic energy of the wrench be when it hits the water is 1425.11 J.
