A 200 kg weather rocket is loaded with 100 kg of fuel and fired straight up. It accelerates upward at 30 m/s2 for 35 s , then ru

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a) $h_m=74625\ m$

b) $t=265.55\ s$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of rocket, $m_r=200\ kg$

mass of fuel, $m_f=100\ kg$

acceleration of the rocket consuming fuel, $a=30\ m.s^{-2}$

time after which the fuel exhaust, $t_f=35\ s$

During the phase of fuel exhaustion:

velocity attained by the rocket just as the fuel ends:

$v_f=u+a.t_f$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of the rocket = 0

$v_f=0+30\times 35$

$v_f=1050\ m.s^{-1}$ this will be the initial velocity for the phase of ascending of the rocket's height under the influence of gravity.

height at which the fuel finishes:

$v_f^2=u^2+2a.h_f$

$1050^2=0^2+2\times 30\times h_f$

$h_f=18375\ m$

During the phase of ascend in height of rocket after the fuel is over:

Time taken to reach the top height after the fuel is over:

$v=v_f+g.t'$

at top v = (final velocity during this course of motion )= 0 $m.s^{-1}$

$0=1050-9.8\times t'$

$t'=107.1429\ s$

Height ascended by the rocket after the fuel is over:

$v^2=v_f^2+2g.h'$

at the top height the velocity is zero

$0^2=1050^2-2\times 9.8\times h'$ (-ve sign denotes that the direction of motion is opposite to that of acceleration)

$h'=56250\ m$

Therefore the maximum altitude attained by the rocket:

$h_m=h_f+h'$

$h_m=18375+56250$

$h_m=74625\ m$

time taken by the rocket to fall back to the earth:

$h_m=v.t_m+\frac{1}{2} g.t_m^2$

where:

$v=$ initial velocity of the rocket during the course of free fall from the top height.

$74625=0+4.9\times t_m^2$

$t_m=123.41\ s$

Now the total time for which the rocket is in the air:

$t=t_f+t'+t_m$

$t=35+107.1429+123.41$

$t=265.55\ s$

WILL GIVE BRAINLYST A flower pot is thrown out of a window with a horizontal velocity of 8 m/s. If the window is 1.5 m off the g

stich3 [128]

-- Use the formula D=(1/2)·(g)·(t²) to calculate how long
it takes the flower pot to fall to the ground.

1.5 m = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)

t² = (1.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

t = 0.554 second

-- Use the formula Distance = (speed)·(time) to calculate
how far the pot traveled horizontally in that amount of time.

Distance = (8 m/s) · (0.554 sec)

Distance horizontally = 4.43 meters

An object is moving to the right in a straight line. The net force acting on the object is also directed to the right, but the m

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

A) continue to move to the right, with its speed increasing with time.

Explanation:

As long as force is positive , even when it is decreasing , it will create positive increase in velocity . Hence the body will keep moving with increasing velocity towards the right . The moment the force becomes zero on continuously decreasing , the increase in velocity stops and the body will be moving with the last velocity uniformly towards right . When the force acting on it becomes negative , even then the body will keep on going to the right till negative force makes its velocity zero . D uring this period , the body will keep moving towards right with decreasing velocity .

Hence in the present case A , is the right choice.

The key idea of the transformation called translation is the gliding or sliding of every point in the plane the same direction.

Mrrafil [7]

That statement is true.

There are several definitions about transformation called translation, but the key idea is the gliding or sliding of every point in the plane the same direction.

Hope this helps
