Answer:
D. Upward force on the shuttle
Explanation:
The hot gas from space shuttles released downward causes an upward force on the shuttle and propels it up the more.
- This hot gas is produced from super cooled oxygen and hydrogen tanks within the shuttle.
- The upward force on the shuttle allows the craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth on the shuttle
- Special level of rapid acceleration must be attained for the shuttle to escape the earth pull.
The formula for average speed is
So we can just substitute our data.
- its the result
Power = voltage(V) * current(I)
= 120 * 0.5
Power = 60 watts
Answer:
a) x = 8.8 cm * cos (9.52 rad/s * t)
b) x = 8.45 cm
Explanation:
This is a Simple Harmonic Motion, and most Simple Harmonic Motion equations start from the equilibrium point. In this question however, we are starting from the max displacement the equations, and thus, it ought to be different.
From the question, we are given that
A = 8.8 cm = 0.088 m
t = 0.66 s
Now, we need to find the angular speed w, such that
w = 2π/T
w = (2 * 3.142) / 0.66
w = 6.284 / 0.66
w = 9.52 rad/s
The displacement equation of Simple Harmonic Motion is usually given as
x = A*sin(w*t)
But then, the equation starts from the equilibrium point at 0 sec, i.e x = 0 m
When you have to start from the max displacement, then the equation would be
x = A*cos(w*t).
So when t = 0 the cos(0) = 1, and then x = A which is max displacement.
Thus, the equation is
x = 8.8 cm * cos (9.52 rad/s * t)
At t = 1.7 s,
x = 8.8 cos (9.52 * 1.7)
x = 8.8 cos (16.184)
x = -8.45 cm
