Answer:

Explanation:

All of the above.

Certainly a coaster could be designed without considering any one item of mass, gravity, or rates of direction change, but the success of the ride would be highly suspect.

Ignoring mass (of cars and/or riders) could lead to support members not being strong enough.

Ignoring rates of change of direction could lead to support members not being strong enough or make the forces on the riders uncomfortable.

Ignoring gravity could lead to support members not being strong enough or make the forces on the riders uncomfortable.

A 200 kg weather rocket is loaded with 100 kg of fuel and fired straight up. It accelerates upward at 30 m/s2 for 35 s , then ru

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a) $h_m=74625\ m$

b) $t=265.55\ s$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of rocket, $m_r=200\ kg$

mass of fuel, $m_f=100\ kg$

acceleration of the rocket consuming fuel, $a=30\ m.s^{-2}$

time after which the fuel exhaust, $t_f=35\ s$

During the phase of fuel exhaustion:

velocity attained by the rocket just as the fuel ends:

$v_f=u+a.t_f$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of the rocket = 0

$v_f=0+30\times 35$

$v_f=1050\ m.s^{-1}$ this will be the initial velocity for the phase of ascending of the rocket's height under the influence of gravity.

height at which the fuel finishes:

$v_f^2=u^2+2a.h_f$

$1050^2=0^2+2\times 30\times h_f$

$h_f=18375\ m$

During the phase of ascend in height of rocket after the fuel is over:

Time taken to reach the top height after the fuel is over:

$v=v_f+g.t'$

at top v = (final velocity during this course of motion )= 0 $m.s^{-1}$

$0=1050-9.8\times t'$

$t'=107.1429\ s$

Height ascended by the rocket after the fuel is over:

$v^2=v_f^2+2g.h'$

at the top height the velocity is zero

$0^2=1050^2-2\times 9.8\times h'$ (-ve sign denotes that the direction of motion is opposite to that of acceleration)

$h'=56250\ m$

Therefore the maximum altitude attained by the rocket:

$h_m=h_f+h'$

$h_m=18375+56250$

$h_m=74625\ m$

time taken by the rocket to fall back to the earth:

$h_m=v.t_m+\frac{1}{2} g.t_m^2$

where:

$v=$ initial velocity of the rocket during the course of free fall from the top height.

$74625=0+4.9\times t_m^2$

$t_m=123.41\ s$

Now the total time for which the rocket is in the air:

$t=t_f+t'+t_m$

$t=35+107.1429+123.41$

$t=265.55\ s$

Answer:

Explanation:

An industrial system consists of inputs, processes and outputs. The inputs are the raw materials, labor and costs of land,transport, power and other infrastructure. The processes include a wide range of activities that convert the raw material into finished products.
