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

Write a statement about the relationship between
Alex17521 [72]

<u><em>Answer:Just as wavelength and frequency are related to light, they are also related to energy. The shorter the wavelengths and higher the frequency corresponds with greater energy. So the longer the wavelengths and lower the frequency results in lower energy.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Explanation:So, if the wavelength of a light wave is shorter, that means that the frequency will be higher because one cycle can pass in a shorter amount of time. ... That means that longer wavelengths have a lower frequency. Conclusion: a longer wavelength means a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency!

<em>Extra explanation: All waves can be defined in terms of their frequency and intensity. c = λν expresses the relationship between wavelength and frequency.</em>

During a free fall Swati was accelerating at -9.8m/s2. After 120 seconds how far did she travel? Use the formula =1/2 *
marta [7]
Distance fallen = 1/2 ( V initial + V final ) *t
We know
a = -9.8 m/s2
t=120s

To find distance fallen, we need to find V final
Use the equation
V final = V initial + a*t
Substitute known values
V final = 0 + (-9.8)(120)
V final = -1176 m/s

Then plug known values to distance fallen equation
Distance fallen = 1/2 ( 0 + 1176 )(120)
= 1/2(1776)(120)
=106,560 m

This way plugging into distance equation is actually the long way. A faster way is to plug the values into
Distance fallen = V initial * t + 1/2(a*t)
We won't need to find V final using another equation.

But anyways, good luck!

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.
