A rocket is fired at a 45° angle, what is the direction of the horizontal velocity vector at the peak height?

Physics

Bess [88]3 years ago

Answer:

B: Horizontally to the left

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity is always constant throughout the entire trajectory of the rocket and acts in the horizontal direction in which the rocket was launched. This is because gravity only acts in the downwards vertical direction.

So in order words at peak height, horizontal velocity is in the horizontal direction in which the rocket was launched.

So if it was to the left, then direction is left but if right, then direction is right.

Looking at the options, the most appropriate will be:

Horizontally to the left

A potential energy function for a system in which a two-dimensional force acts is of the form U = 3x6y − 5x. Find the force that
liq [111]

Answer:

Force, F=((-18x^5y+5)i+(-3x^6)j)\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

A potential energy function for a system in which a two-dimensional force acts is of the form of :

U=3x^6y-5x

We need to find the force that acts at the point (x, y). The force in 2 dimensional with components is given by :

F=(\dfrac{-dU}{dx},\dfrac{-dU}{dy})\\\\F=(\dfrac{-d(3x^6y-5x)}{dx},\dfrac{d(3x^6y-5x)}{dy})\\\\F=(-(18x^5y-5)),(-(3x^6))\\\\F=((-18x^5y+5)i+(-3x^6)j)\ N

So, the force acting at the point (x,y) is ((-18x^5y+5)i+(-3x^6)j)\ N. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the rate at which an object moves but doesn't include direction?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Great question !

The rate at which an object covers distance, without worrying
about the direction it's moving, is the object's SPEED .

When the direction is also given, then you have the object's VELOCITY.


This question is important.  It gives us a chance to point out that
"velocity" is not just a fancy word for speed that you use when you
want to sound smart.  There's actually an important difference between
'speed' and 'velocity'.

fredd [130]

Answer:

the distance covered by the body in 5th second =u+a(n- 1/2)=7+4(5- 1/2)

=7+4×9/2

=7+18

=25m

What concerns people in regards to<br> the federal government?
inysia [295]

Answer:

Mulitple Changes.

Explanation:

Most people want something to be done, and never change again. But some others do, since they have there own beliefs. Alot of people are concerned about tax rates, taxes, nationial polices, own beliefs. People have there own beliefs and when someone is elected into the federal Government, they have there own Beliefs (Mostly Republican Or Democrate). People go against on what they dont think and go with what they think. At the end whoever sways the people on who to believe and vote for, Is elected.

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.85 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After s
enot [183]

Answer:

Final velocity at the bottom of hill is 15.56 m/s.

Explanation:

The given problem can be divided into four parts:

1. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the combined mass (Gayle and sled)

From the law of conservation of momentum (perfectly inelastic collision), the combined velocity is given as:  

p_i = p_f  

m_1u_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

v = \frac{(m_1u_1 + m_2v_2)}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v=\frac{[50.0\ kg)(3.85\ m/s) + 0]}{(50.0\ kg + 5.00\ kg)}= 3.5\ m/s  

2. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed after traveling a vertical height of 5 m.

The velocity of Gayle and sled at the instant her brother jumps on is found from the law of conservation of energy:  

E(i) = E(f)  

KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)  

0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)  

v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]}

Here, initial velocity is the final velocity from the first stage. Therefore:  

v(f) = \sqrt{[(3.5)^2+2(9.8)(5.00-0)]}= 10.5\ m/s

3. Use conservation of momentum to find the combined speed of Gayle and her brother.  

Given:

Initial velocity of Gayle and sled is, u_1(i)=10.5 m/s

Initial velocity of her brother is, u_2(i)=0 m/s

Mass of Gayle and sled is, m_1=55.0 kg

Mass of her brother is, m_2=30.0 kg

Final combined velocity is given as:

v(f) = \frac{[m_1u_1(i) + m_2u_2(i)]}{(m_1 + m_2)}  

v(f)=\frac{[(55.0)(10.5) + 0]}{(55.0+30.0)}= 6.79 m/s  

4. Finally, use conservation of energy to determine the final speed at the bottom of the hill.

Using conservation of energy, the final velocity at the bottom of the hill is:  

E(i) = E(f)  

KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)  

0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)  

v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]} \\v(f)=\sqrt{[(6.79)^2 + 2(9.8)(15 - 5.00)]}\\v(f)= 15.56\ m/s
