A toy rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s in the horizontal direction from the roof of a 30.0-m-tall buildin

g. The rocket’s engine produces a horizontal acceleration of \left(1.60 m / s^{3}\right) t, in the same direction as the initial velocity, but in the vertical direction the acceleration is g , down-ward. Ignore air resistance. What horizontal distance does the rocket travel before reaching the ground?

Solution :

The motion in the y direction.

The time taken by the toy rocket to hit the ground,

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

S = distance travelled = 30 m

u = 0 m/s

a = $9.8 \ m/sec^2$

t= time in seconds

Therefore, $30 =\frac{1}{2}9.8 t^2$

t = 2.47 sec

Now motion in the x direction,

u = 12 m/sec

$a=1.6 t \ m/sec^3$

Upon integration 'v' with respect to 't'

$v=\frac{1.6t^2}{2}+12$

Once again integrating with respect to t,

$s=\frac{1.6t^3}{6}+12 t$

$s=\frac{1.6(2.47)^3}{6}+12 (2.47)$

  = 0.0176+29.64

   = 29.65 m

Therefore, the toy rocket will hit the ground at 29.65 m from the building.

Lake Baikal in Siberia has a maximum depth of 1642 m. What is the water
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Explanation:

Fluid gauge pressure is:

P = ρgh

where ρ is the fluid density and h is the depth of the fluid.

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (1642 m)

P = 16,091,600 Pa

Rounded to four significant figures, the gauge pressure is 16.09 MPa.

A ball with a momentum of 16 kg.M/s strikes a ball at rest. What is the total momentum of both the balls after the collision.
melomori [17]

Answer:

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.

Momentum A = 16 kgm/s

Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).

Total momentum = A + B

Total momentum = 16 + 0

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity
