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

Your bike starts with an initial velocity of 1 m/s and you accelerate to 4 m/s in 6 seconds. How far did you travel while accele

garri49 [273]

Answer:

78 m

Explanation:

Initial v = 1 m/s

a = 4 m/s²

t = 6s

$x = v_{i} t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\x = (1)(6) + \frac{1}{2} (4)(6)^{2} \\x = 6 + 72\\x = 78$

Answer:

$A=6.28\ \mu m^2$

Part 1

$V=1.57 \ \mu m^3$

Part 2

$A=6.28\ \mu m^2$

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter,d=1 μm

Length ,l=2 μm

As we know that volume of cylinder given as

$V=\pi r^2l$

$V=\pi \times 0.5^2\times 2 \ \mu m^3$

$V=1.57 \ \mu m^3$

Surface area,A

A=π d l

$A=\pi \times 1 \times 2\ \mu m^2$

$A=6.28\ \mu m^2$

Part 1

$V=1.57 \ \mu m^3$

Part 2

$A=6.28\ \mu m^2$

The net torque on the seesaw is 294 Nm.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the force that tends to rotate the body to which it was applied.

To calculate the net torque, we use the formula below

Formula:

τ = mgd-m'gd'........... Equation 1

Where:

τ = Net torque

m = Jenny's mass
m' = Tom's mass
d = Jenny's distance from the pivot
d' = Tom's distance from the pivot
g = acceleration due to gravity

From the question,

Given:

m = 40 kg
m' = 30 kg
d = 1.5 m
d' = 1 m
g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

τ = (40×1.5×9.8)-(30×1×9.8)
τ = 588-294
τ = 294 Nm

Hence, The net torque on the seesaw is 294 Nm.
