The astronaut throws a rock straight up with a velocity of 17.4 m/s and measures a time of 12.4 s before the rock returns to his hand. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) due to gravity on this planet

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.40 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity= 17.4 m/s

time= 12.4 seconds

We want to find the acceleration of the rock

We know that

acceleration = velocity/time

Substitute

acceleration= 17.4/12.4

acceleration=1.40 m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 1.40 m/s^2

Answer:

it has a higher amplitude than that of the original waves

Explanation:

trust me its right

The two waves combined with constructive interference have a higher amplitude than the original wave.

Which wave has the highest amplitude?

High energy waves are characterized by high amplitude. Low energy waves are characterized by their small amplitude. As explained in Lesson 2, wave amplitude is the maximum amount of particle movement on a medium from a resting position.

What are superposition and interference?

Superposition is a combination of two waves in the same place. Constructive interference occurs when two identical waves interfere in phase. Destructive interference occurs when two identical waves are exactly out of phase and overlap.

due to gravity? *

Answers

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 2.68m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Period = 5.14s

Length = 0.25m

To find acceleration due to gravity, g;

[tex] Period, T = 2 \pi \sqrt {lg} [/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] 5.14 = 2*3.142 \sqrt {0.25g} [/tex]

[tex] 5.14 = 6.284 \sqrt {0.25g} [/tex]

[tex] \frac {5.14}{6.284} = \sqrt {0.25g} [/tex]

[tex] 0.8180 = \sqrt {0.25g} [/tex]

Taking the square of both sides

[tex] 0.8180^{2} = 0.25g [/tex]

[tex] 0.6691 = 0.25*g[/tex]

[tex] g = \frac {0.6691}{0.25} [/tex]

A 7300 kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.20 m/s2 and feels no appreciable air resistance. When it has reached a height of 575 m , its engines suddenly fail so that the only force acting on it is now gravity. Part A What is the maximum height this rocket will reach above the launch pad

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall first calculate the velocity at height h = 575 m .

acceleration a = 2.2 m /s²

v² = u² + 2 a s

u is initial velocity , v is final velocity , s is height achieved

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.2 x 575

v = 50.3 m /s

After 575 m , rocket moves under free fall so g will act on it downwards

If it travels further by height H

from the relation

v² = u² - 2 g H

v = 0 , u = 50.3 m /s

H = ?

0 = 50.3² - 2 x 9.8 H

H = 129.08 m

Total height attained by rocket

= 575 + 129.08

= 704.08 m .

q = +9 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Due to being made up of matter, the planet Earth has a series of positive and negative charges, in general these charges should be balanced and the net charge of the planet should be zero, but there are several phenomena that introduce unbalanced charges, for example:

* ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

This creates that the planet has a net electrical load

         

We can roughly calculate the charge of the planet

             E = k q / r²

             q = E r² / k

let's calculate

The deepest part of the ocean is the Challenger Deep, at 10,900 m. The depth was first measured in 1875 by the HMS Challenger by depth sounding (which does not involve sound waves). If you were to measure the depth by echo sounding (which does involve sound), what would you expect the time for a sound pulse at the surface to return in s, naively assuming a constant sound velocity throughout the ocean

Answers

Answer:

 t = 14.53 s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is constant and is given by

         v = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{B}{ \rho} }[/tex]

in this exercise they indicate that we assume the constant velocity, therefore we can use the uniform motion relations

          v = x / t

           t = x / v

in this case the sound pulse leaves the ship and must return so the distance is

          x = 2d

where d is the ocean depth d = 10900m and the speed of sound in seawater is v = 1500 m / s

         

let's calculate

           t = 2 10900/1500

           t = 14.53 s

How far is the submarine from the side of the ship

Answers

Answer:

84.1 m

Explanation:

Given :

The distance from the ship to submarine :

20 + y

Using Pythagoras :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 20 / 12

12 tan θ = 20

θ = tan^-1(20/12)

20

θ = 59.036°

The angle phi;

n1sinθ1 = n2sin θ

Sin 59.036 = 1.33 * sin phi

Sin phi = sinsin(59.04) ÷1.33

0.8574907 = 1.33 * sin phi

Sin phi = 0.8574907 / 1.33

Sin phi = 0.6447298

phi = sin(0.6447298

Phi = 40.15°

From Pythagoras :

y = 76tan40.15°

y = 76 * 0.8435707

y = 64.11

20 + y

20 + 64.11 = 84.11

6. The petrol in a petrol can weighs 2000g. The density of petrol is 0.8g/cm3.
What is the volume of the petrol in the can in a) cm3 b)litres (1000cm3=1 litre)

Pls help :((

Answers

Answer:

a. 2500 cm³.

b. 2.5 litres.

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Density = 0.8g/cm³

Mass = 2000g

To find the volume of the petrol;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

[tex]Density = \frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

Making volume the subject of formula, we have;

[tex]Volume = \frac{mass}{density}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have:

[tex]Volume = \frac{2000}{0.8}[/tex]

Volume = 2500 cm³

a. The volume of the petrol in the can in cubic centimeters (cm³) is 2000.

b. The volume of the petrol in the can in litres;

1000 cm³ = 1 litre

2500 cm³ = x litres

Cross-multiplying, we have;

1000x = 2500

x = 2500/1000

x = 2.5 litres.

Therefore, the volume of the petrol in the can in litres is 2.5.

Starting from rest, a wheel with constant angular acceleration turns through an angle of 25 rad in a time t. What will its angular velocity be after 3t?

Answers

Answer:

θ = 225 rad

Explanation:

given data

angle = 25 rad

to find out

angular velocity after 3t?

solution

let angular acceleration α in t

θ = ω × t + 0.5 × α × t²        ........................1

here ω  = 0 (initial velocity )

so put this value here

25 = 0 + 0.5 × α × t²             ..........................2

α = 25 ÷ (0.5 t²)

α = 50 ÷ t²                            .........................3

now here we take in 3t

θ = ω × 3t + 0.5 × α × (3t)²

for ω  = 0

θ = 0 + 0.5 × α × 9t²

now put value in eq 2

so

θ = (0.5) ×  (50 ÷ t²) ×  (3t)²

θ = 25 × 9

θ = 225 rad

A skydiver is using wind to land on a target that is 50 m away horizontally. The skydiver starts from a height of 70 m and is falling vertically at a constant velocity of 7.0 m/s downward with their parachute open (terminal velocity). A horizontal gust of wind helps push them towards the target. What must be their total speed if they want to just hit their target?

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

15.67 seconds

Explanation:

Using first equation of Motion

Final Velocity= Initial Velocity + (Acceleration * Time)  

v= u + at

v=3

u=50

a= - 4 (negative acceleration or deceleration)  

3= 50 +( -4 * t)

-47/-4 = t

Time = 15.67 seconds

We have that the speed  must be at the speed below if they want to just hit their target

From the Question we are told that

Distance [tex]d=50m[/tex]

Height [tex]h=70m[/tex]

Constant Velocity [tex]v= 7.0 m/s[/tex]

Generally the equation for the time  is mathematically given as

[tex]T=\frac{h}{v}\\\\T=\frac{70}{7}\\\\T=10s[/tex]

Therefore

The velocity required to make horizontal movement is

[tex]V=\frac{d}{T}\\\\V=\frac{50}{10}\\\\V=5m/s[/tex]

Given that

Velocity on the Vertical axis is

[tex]v_y=7m/s[/tex]

Velocity on the  horizontal axis is

[tex]v_x=5m/s[/tex]

Therefore resultant speed

[tex]v_r=\sqrt{v_x^2+V_y^2}\\\\v_r=\sqrt{(5)^2+(7)^2}[/tex]

[tex]v_r=8.6023m/s[/tex]

In conclusion

[tex]v_r=8.6023m/s[/tex] must be their total speed if they want to just hit their target

If the car has a mass of 0.2 kg, the ratio of height to width of the ramp is 12/75, the initial displacement is 2.25 m, and the change in momentum is 0.58 kg*m/s, how far will it coast back up the ramp before changing directions

Answers

Answer:

     l = 0.548 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we compensate by finding the speed of the car

         p = m v

         v = p / m

         v = 0.58 / 0.2

         v = 2.9 m / s

this is how fast you get to the ramp, let's use conservation of energy

starting point. Lowest point

         Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

final point. Point where it stops on the ramp

         [tex]Em_{f}[/tex] = U = m g h

  mechanical energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_{f}

          ½ m v² = m g h

           h = [tex]\frac{m v^2}{2 g}[/tex]

let's calculate

          h = [tex]\frac{0.2 \ 2.9^2}{2 \ 9.8}[/tex]

          h = 0.0858 m

to find the distance that e travels on the ramp let's use trigonometry, we look for the angle

          tan θ = y / x

          tan θ = 12/75 = 0.16

          θ = tan⁻¹ 0.16

          θ = 9º

therefore

           sin 9 = h / l

           l = h / sin 9

           l = 0.0858 / sin 9

           l = 0.548 m

In traveling a distance of 2.3 km between points A and D, a car is driven at 83 km/h from A to B for t seconds and 41 km/h from C to D also for t seconds. If the brakes are applied for 4.4 seconds between B and C to give the car a uniform deceleration, calculate t and the distance s between A and B.

Answers

Answer:

- time t taken for car to travel is 64.57 s

- distance travelled between A and B is 1.4887 km

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

[tex]U_{BC}[/tex] =  83 km/h = ( 83×1000 / 60×60) =  23.0555 m/s

[tex]U_{CD}[/tex] = 41 km/h = ( 41×1000 / 60×60) =  11.3888 m/s

now, we calculate the acceleration;

a =  (  [tex]U_{BC}[/tex] -  [tex]U_{CD}[/tex] ) / t

we substitute

a =  ( 23.0555 -  11.3888 ) / 4.4

a = 11.6667 / 4.4

a = 2.6515 m/s²

Now equation for displacement from BC

[tex]S_{BC}[/tex] =  [tex]U_{BC}[/tex]t + 1/2.at²

we substitute

[tex]S_{BC}[/tex] =  23.0555×4.4 + 1/2×a×(4.4)²

we substitute -2.6515m/s² for a

[tex]S_{BC}[/tex] =  23.0555×4.4 + 1/2×(-2.6515)×(4.4)²

= 101.4442 - 25.6665

[tex]S_{BC}[/tex] = 75.7792 m

Now, for total distance covered = 2.3km = ( 2.3×1000) = 2300m

so

[tex]S_{AB}[/tex] +  [tex]S_{BC}[/tex] +  [tex]S_{CD}[/tex]  =  2300 m

we substitute substitute

[tex]S_{AB}[/tex] +  75.7792 m +  [tex]S_{CD}[/tex]  =  2300 m

[tex]S_{AB}[/tex] +  [tex]S_{CD}[/tex] = 2300 - 75.7792

[tex]S_{AB}[/tex] +  [tex]S_{CD}[/tex]  = 2224.2208 m

so we substitute 23.0555t for [tex]S_{AB}[/tex]  and 11.3888t for  [tex]S_{CD}[/tex]  

23.0555t + 11.3888t  = 2224.2208

34.4443t = 2224.2208

t = 2224.2208 / 34.4443

t = 64.57 s

Therefore, time t taken for car to travel is 64.57 s

Distance Between A to B

[tex]S_{AB}[/tex]  = t ×  [tex]U_{AB}[/tex]

we substitute

[tex]S_{AB}[/tex]  = 64.57 s × 23.0555

[tex]S_{AB}[/tex]  = 1488.69 m

[tex]S_{AB}[/tex]  = 1.4887 km

Therefore, distance travelled between A and B is 1.4887 km
