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

Physics
1 answer:
Bess [88]3 years ago
7 0

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 small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed o
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.

A spring is hung from the ceiling. A 2.0-kg mass suspended hung from the spring extends it by 6.0 cm. A downward external force
Stolb23 [73]

The work done by force on a spring hung from the ceiling will be 1.67 J

Any two things with mass are drawn together by the gravitational pull. We refer to the gravitational force as attractive because it consistently seeks to draw masses together rather than pushing them apart.

Given that a spring is hung from the ceiling with a 2.0-kg mass suspended hung from the spring extends it by 6.0 cm and a downward external force applied to the mass extends the spring an additional 10 cm.

We need to find the work done by the force

Given mass is of 2 kg

So let,

F = 2 kg

x = 0.1 m

Stiffness of spring = k = F/x

k = 20/0.006 = 333 n/m

Now the formula to find the work done by force will be as follow:

Workdone = W = 0.5kx²

W = 0.5 x 333 x 0.1²

W = 1.67 J

Hence the work done by force on a spring hung from the ceiling will be 1.67 J
