Answer:

Explanation:
The heaviside function is defined as:

so we see that the Heaviside function "switches on" when
, and remains switched on when 
If we want our heaviside function to switch on when
, we need the argument to the heaviside function to be 0 when 
Thus we define a function f:

The
term inside the heaviside function makes sure to displace the function 5 units to the right.
Now we just need to add a scale up factor of 240 V, because thats the voltage applied after the heaviside function switches on. (
when
, so it becomes just a 1, which we can safely ignore.)
Therefore our final result is:

I have made a sketch for you, and added it as attachment.
Before the engines fail
, the rocket's horizontal and vertical position in the air are


and its velocity vector has components


After
, its position is


and the rocket's velocity vector has horizontal and vertical components


After the engine failure
, the rocket is in freefall and its position is given by


and its velocity vector's components are


where we take
.
a. The maximum altitude occurs at the point during which
:

At this point, the rocket has an altitude of

b. The rocket will eventually fall to the ground at some point after its engines fail. We solve
for
, then add 3 seconds to this time:

So the rocket stays in the air for a total of
.
c. After the engine failure, the rocket traveled for about 34.6 seconds, so we evalute
for this time
:

Answer:
The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.
Explanation:
To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

or

where
is the mass of the asteroid,
is its distance form earth's center,
is the mass of the earth, and
is the gravitational constant.
Solving for
we get:

putting in numerical values gives


in kilometers this is

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.
Answer:
Decreased by a factor of 4.5
Explanation:
"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

where
is the gravitational constant on Earth.
are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.
So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:




Since
and 

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5
1)
first you find the maxium force that the car can produce.
f=ma
Fmax=(1100kg)(6m/s^2)
then use f = ma again to find the accel with the passengers
Fmax=(1100kg +1650kg)(a)
=> a = (1100kg)(6m/s^2)/( 1100kg +1650kg)
= 2.4 m/s^2
