A rocket is dropped out of an airplane at 100 m/s (downward). If the rocket fires causing an upward acceleration of Ct2 and it t

Mkey [24]

Answer:

C = 0.0125 m/s⁴. The calculation procedure can be found in the attachment below. The concept of motion along a straight line with constant acceleration has been applied to solve the problem.

Explanation:

The sign convention chosen in this problem solution is upwards as positive and downwards negative. The equation of motion v = u + at has been used to calculate the constant C as only one unknown is contained in this equation. This is so because we have been given the initial velocity, the acceleration and the time taken. To solve future problems of this kind, first thing to check for is an equation of motion with the least number of unknown. This helps to reduce the complexity of the problem solution.

Is it possible for a system to have negative potentialenergy?

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Yes, since the choice of the zero o potential energy is arbitrary.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is due to the motion of the object. The expression for the kinetic energy is as follows;

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Here, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

The kinetic energy can not be negative as the velocity is squared. It can be zero and positive.

Potential energy: It is the energy is due to the position of the object.

The expression for the potential energy is as follows;

PE= mgh

Here, g is the acceleration due to gravity and height.

Height can be taken from the reference point, zero which can be taken below zero and above zero. Zero is taken as origin. Below zero, the height is taken as negative and above zero, the height is taken as positive.

The potential energy can be zero, positive and negative.

The total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.

E= KE + PE

Here, KE is the kinetic energy and PE is the potential energy.

Therefore, the option (B) is correct.

As the temperature increases the number of effective collisions between reacting particles in a chemical reaction

Reil [10]

Answer: option A) initially increases, then decreases.

Justification:

The increase of the rate of effective collisions among particles as the temperature increases is explained by the collision theory in virtue of the increase of the kinetic energy.

This is, as the temperature increase so the kinetic energy increase and the higher the kinetic energy the greater the number of collisions and the greater the chances that this energy overcome the activation energy (the energy needed to start the reaction).

Now, as the reaction progress the number of reactants particles naturally decrease (some of them have been converted into product) so this lower number of particles means lower concentration which means lower collisions and, thereafter, a decrease in the reaction rate.

You want the current amplitude through a inductor with an inductance of 4.70 mH (part of the circuitry for a radio receiver) to

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

f = 1.69*10^5 Hz

Explanation:

In order to calculate the frequency of the sinusoidal voltage, you use the following formula:

$V_L=\omega iL=2\pi f i L$ (1)

V_L: voltage = 12.0V

i: current = 2.40mA = 2.40*10^-3 A

L: inductance = 4.70mH = 4.70*10^-3 H

f: frequency = ?

you solve the equation (1) for f and replace the values of the other parameters:

$f=\frac{V_L}{2\pi iL}=\frac{12.0V}{2\pi (2.4*10^{-3}A)(4.70*10^{-3}H)}=1.69*10^5Hz$

The frequency of the sinusoidal voltage is f
