A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant (net) acceleration 29.4 m/s2 . Th

e acceleration period lasts for time 5.00 s until the fuel is exhausted. After that, the rocket is in free fall. Find the maximum height ymax reached by the rocket. Ignore air resistance and assume a constant free-fall acceleration equal to 9.80 m/s2 .

Hi there!

We can begin by using the following formulas:

Δd = vit + 1/2at²

vf² = vi² + 2ad

v = at

We can break this problem into 2 parts:

Distance traveled with acceleration:

Δd = vi(t) + 1/2at²

The rocket starts from rest so disregard the "vi(t)":

Δd = 1/2at²

Plug in the given acceleration and time:

Δd = 1/2(29.4)(5)²

Δd = 367.5 m

Distance traveled after thrust stops:

Find the displacement up to the top of the trajectory using the equation:

vf² = vi² + 2ad, where vf = 0 m/s

Calculate the initial velocity using the equation v = at:

v = (29.4)(5) = 147 m/s

Use the above equation and plug in the given values:

0² = (147)² + 2(-9.8)d

Solve for d:

0 = 21,609 - 19.6d

19.6d = 21,609

d = 1,102.5 m

Add the two displacements:

d1 + d2 = 1,470 m

If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.350 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of c
Sloan [31]

Answer:

q = 4.87 X 10^ -14 C

Explanation:

As d=0.350 mm

The ink drop will be accelerated by the electric field between the plates:

a = F/m

d = a(D0 / v)^2 / 2 ...... 1

a = qE/m ............... 2

Substituting 2  into 1:

d = (qE/m)(D0 / v)^2 / 2

q = 2mdv^2 / [E(D0)^2]

q = 2(1.00e-11 kg)(3.50e-4 m)(15.0 m/s)^2 / [(7.70e4 N/C)(2.05e-2 m)^2]

q = 4.87e-14 C

One ball is dropped vertically from a window. At the same instant, a second ball is thrown horizontally from the same window.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The second ball

Explanation:

Both balls are under the effect of gravity, accelerating with exactly the same value. The first ball is dropped, therefore its initial velocity is zero. Since the second ball has horizontal and vertical velocity components, its initial velocity is given by:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

The vertical component is zero, however, it has a horizontal velocity, so its initial speed is not zero, therefore the secong ball has the greater speed at ground level.

Which of Galileo’s discoveries were later used in Newton’s laws?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a moving object will keep moving if not stopped

the sun being at the center of the solar system

Explanation:

Galileo is known for being the first person make a telescope, there fore being the first person to see that the sun is in the center of the solar system. he also came up with the theory that if something is pushed, it would keep moving until stopped by another force. For example, say you drop your pencil, it keeps falling until it hits the ground. That is exactly what Galileo did in his  Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment and found that theory to be true.

Brainliest if right.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

the third law (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction).

Explanation:

The skateboarder pushes backwards on the road (that is he applies a force on the road in a direction opposite the direction of intended motion). By Newton's third law, this action of the skateboarder causes an equal reaction of the road on the skateboarder in the opposite direction. Newton's third law states that action and reaction are equal but opposite in direction. So, the road in response to this backward force pushes the skateboarder in the forward direction causing the skateboarder and the skateboard to move in the forward direction.
