Answer:

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium. This means that they have to have some sort of matter to travel through. These waves travel when molecules in the medium collide with each other passing on energy. One example of a mechanical wave is sound.

Air bags are designed to deploy in 10 ms. Given that the air bags expand 20 cm as they deploy, estimate the acceleration of the

joja [24]

As it is given that the air bag deploy in time

$t = 10 ms = 0.010 s$

total distance moved by the front face of the bag

$d = 20 cm = 0.20 m$

Now we will use kinematics to find the acceleration

$d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0.20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a*0.010^2$

$0.20 = 5 * 10^{-5}* a$

$a = 4000 m/s^2$

now as we know that

$g = 10 m/s^2$

so we have

$a = 400g$

so the acceleration is 400g for the front surface of balloon

The nine ring wraiths want to fly from barad-dur to rivendell. rivendell is directly north of barad-dur. the dark tower reports

Katarina [22]

The west constituent of their sequence needs to cancel out 58 mph crosswind. Subsequently a northwest direction is a 45-degree angle up to even with the destination. That is the third point out of the triangle and the right angle is at the destination. The top side is the west constituent of their flight the vertical side is their resultant travel and the hypotenuse is their definite distance flown. Since the 58 mph crosswind was negated by flying northwest, the distance from the beginning to the destination must be the same distance as the west component of their travel. The hypotenuse is square root of twice the side since it has 2 identical sides.

c = sqrt (58^2 + 58^2) = sqrt (6728) = 82.02

Alternative solution:

c = sqrt (2) * 58 = 1.414 * 58 = 82.02

Therefore, they have to fly 82.02 mph

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 85.0 m/s2

sergey [27]

Answer:

Maximum height attained by the model rocket is 2172.87 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial speed of the model rocket = u = 0
acceleration of the model rocket = $a\ =\ 85.0 m/s^2$
time during the acceleration = t = 2.30 s

We have to consider the whole motion into two parts

In first part the rocket is moving with an acceleration of a = 85.0 $m/s^2$ for the time t = 2.30 s before the fuel abruptly runs out.

Let $s_1$ be the height attained by the rocket during this time intervel,

$s_1\ =\ ut\ +\ \dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_1\ =\ 0\ +\ 0.5\times 85\times 2.30^2\\\Rightarrow s_1\ =\ 224.825\ m$

And Final velocity at that point be v

$\therefore v\ =\ u\ +\ at\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 0\ +\ 85.0\times 2.3\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 195.5\ m/s.$

Now, in second part, after reaching the altitude of 224.825 m the fuel abruptly runs out. Therefore rocket is moving upward under the effect of gravitational acceleration,

Let ' $s_2$ ' be the altitude attained by the rocket to reach at the maximum point after the rocket's fuel runs out,

At that insitant,

initial velocity of the rocket = v = 195.5 m/s.

a = $-g\ =\ -9.81\ m/s^2$
Final velocity of the rocket at the maximum altitude = $v_f\ =\ 0$

From the kinematics,

$v^2\ =\ u^2\ +\ 2as\\\Rightarrow 0\ =\ u^2\ -\ 2gs_2\\\Rightarrow s_2\ =\ \dfrac{u^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow s_2\ =\ \dfrac{195.5^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow s_2\ =\ 1948.02\ m$
