As a rocket flies through the air, it both translates and rotates. The rotation occurs about a point called the center of gravity. The center of gravity is the average location of the weight of the rocket.

Answer:

Rocket Center of Gravity. As a rocket flies through the air, it both translates and rotates. The rotation occurs about a point called the center of gravity. The center of gravity is the average location of the weight of the rocket.

A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the tru
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}

a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is -38409.09\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

How to solve number 10
Vinil7 [7]

The 'formulas' to use are just the definitions of 'power' and 'work':

Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

and  

Work = (force) x (distance) .

Combine these into one. Take the definition of 'Work', and write it in place of 'work' in the definition of power.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

From the sheet, we know the power, the distance, and the time.  So we can use this one formula to find the force.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

Multiply each side by (time):  (Power) x (time) = (force) x (distance)

Divide each side by (distance): Force = (power x time) / (distance).

Look how neat, clean, and simple that is !

Force = (13.3 watts) x (3 seconds) / (4 meters)

Force = (13.3 x 3 / 4) (watt-seconds / meter)

Force = 39.9/4 (joules/meter)

<em>Force = 9.975 Newtons</em>

Is that awesome or what !

Three small masses are positioned as follows: 2.0 kg at (0.0 m, 0.0 m), 2.0 kg at (2.0 m, 0.0 m), and 4.0 kg at (2.0 m, 1.0 m).
melamori03 [73]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The given data is

mass, kg   Coordinates. m
-------------   -----------------
   2               (0, 0)
   2               (2, 0)
   4               (2, 1)

Total mass, M = 2+2+4 = 8kg
Let (x,y) be the coordinates of M.

Then, taking moments about the origin, we obtain
8x = 2*0 + 2*2 + 4*2 = 12
x = 1.5 m

8y = 2*0 + 2*0 + 4*1 = 4
y = 0.5 m

Answer:  (1.5, 0.5) m

"A thin film with an index of refraction of 1.50 is placed in one of the beams of a Michelson interferometer. If this causes a s
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m
