8/20 of a minute or 2/5 of a minute
If the ends span from the 0 to the 15 meter mark, then the length of the pipe is 15 meters. However, you should report it using the right amount of significant figures. It is mentioned in the problem that millimeter marks are calibrated between meters. Since millimeter is 1/1000 of a meter, you should add three decimal places to the 15 meters. Hence, you should report it as 15.000 meters.
Answer:
The velocities after 739 s of firing of each engine would be 6642.81 m/s in the x direction and 5306.02 in the y direction
Step-by-step explanation:
- For a constant acceleration:
, where
is the final velocity in a direction after the acceleration is applied,
is the initial velocity in that direction before the acceleration is applied, a is the acceleration applied in such direction, and t is the amount of time during where that acceleration was applied. - <em>Then for the x direction</em> it is known that the initial velocity is
5320 m/s, the acceleration (the applied by the engine) in x direction is
1.79 m/s2 and, the time during the acceleration was applied (the time during the engines were fired) of the is 739 s. Then: 
- In the same fashion, <em>for the y direction</em>, the initial velocity is
0 m/s, the acceleration in y direction is
7.18 m/s2, and the time is the same that in the x direction, 739 s, then for the final velocity in the y direction:
