A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. While the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and main engines only work together during

the first 2 minutes of flight, the main engines operate for a total of 8.5 minutes after the launch. Once the SRBs are released, the main engines alone accelerate the rocket from about 1341 m/s to 7600 m/s.
What is the acceleration of the SRB and main engine during the first 2.0 minutes of flight?

A. 52 m/s2
B. 13 m/s2
C. 9.8 m/s2
D. 11 m/s2

A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).

A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. We can divide its initial movement into 2 parts:

  • From t = 0 min to t = 2.0 min, the SRB and the main engines act together and the speed goes from 0 m/s (rest) to 1341 m/s.
  • From t = 2.0 min to t = 8.5 min, the main engines alone accelerate the ship form 1341 m/s to 7600 m/s.

We want to know the acceleration in the first part (first 2.0 minutes). We need to consider that:

  • The speed increases from 0 m/s to 1341 m/s.
  • The time elpased is 2.0 min.
  • 1 min = 60 s.

The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is:

a = \frac{\Delta v }{t} ) \frac{(1341m/s-0m/s)}{2.0min} \times \frac{1min}{60s}  = 11 m/s^{2}

A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).

You can. But the gravity on the moon is 1/6th the gravity on Earth. This means 300 lbs man would only weigh 50 lbs.

A baseball pitcher throws a fastball horizontally at a speed of 43.0 m/s. Ignoring air resistance, how far does the ball drop be
Nady [450]
Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away

Objects that are denser than water will sink in water. Question 1 options: True False
den301095 [7]
<h3>Answer: True</h3>

For example, a very dense metal will sink to the bottom while something like wood will float on the surface. The wood is less dense compared to the water, which is why it floats. Density is the measure of how much stuff you can pack in a certain volume. The higher the density, the more stuff per volume. Think of it like packing a suitcase. If there's barely anything in there, then we can say its density is low. The more stuff crammed in the suitcase will increase the density (and therefore the weight), while keeping the volume the same.

A downhill skier was able to move 560 meters in 25 seconds. What is the skier’s average speed? (Round your answer to the nearest
anastassius [24]
The average speed of a moving body is given by:
average speed = total distance / total time
average speed = 560 / 25
22.4 meters per second

The skier is traveling at an average velocity of 22.4 meters per second.
