Answer:

(a ) vf= 188.12m/s  : Final speed at 8.75 s

(b) d= 823.04 m   : Distance the rocket sled traveled

Explanation:

Rocket sled kinematics :The rocket sled moves with a uniformly accelerated movement, then we apply the following formulas:

d =vi*t+1/2a*t² Formula (1)

vf= vi+at            Formula(2)

Where:

vi: initial speed =0

a: acceleration=21.5 m/s²

t: time=8.75 s

vf: final speed in m/s

d:displacement in meters(m)

Calculation of displacement (d) and final speed (vf)

We replace data in formulas (1) and (2):

d= 0+1/2*21.5*8.75²

d= 823.04 m

vf= 0+21.5*8.75

vf= 188.12m/s

A hot–air balloon is moving at a speed of 10 meters/second in the +x–direction. The balloonist throws a brass ball in the +x–dir
IrinaVladis [17]
The ball has an initial speed of 10m/s. This is because it is moving with the balloon. Now the balloonist throws the ball 4m/s with respect to himself, so it means that he gives the ball a extra push of 4m/s, so the total speed is 14m/s. Since it takes 30 seconds to reach the ground, the distance travelled is 14*30=420m.

A particle is in uniform circular motion. Assume a standard rtz coordinate system. If you deconstruct the net force acting on th
Kitty [74]

Answer:

a) One

Explanation:

In a uniform circular motion there must be a force acting to keep it in the circular track. This force can either be centripetal or a centrifugal force.

According to the Newton's first law of motion a particle continues to be in state of rest or in uniform motion until acted upon by an external force.

Here the term uniform motion need to be understood which refers to the uniform velocity of the particle in accordance to the vector laws.

Calculate the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

De broglie wavelength, \lambda = \frac{h}{mv}, where h is the Planck's constant,  m is the mass and v is the velocity.

h = 6.63*10^{-34}

Mass of hydrogen atom,  m = 1.67*10^{-27}kg

v = 440 m/s

Substituting

   Wavelength \lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{1.67*10^{-27}*440} = 0.902 *10^{-9}m = 902 *10^{-12}m

1 pm = 10^{-12}m\\ \\ So , \lambda =902 pm

So  the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s is 902 pm

Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
mart [117]
<span>Most objects tend to contain the same numbers of positive and negative charge because this is the most stable situation. In fact, if an object has an excess of positive charge, it tends to attract an equal number of negative charges to balance this effect and restore neutrality: the attracted negative charges combine with the excess of positive charges, leaving the object electrically neutral.</span>

A 13,000-N vehicle is to be lifted by a 25-cm diameter hydraulic piston. What force needs to be applied to a 5.0 cm diameter pis
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Pascal's Law in fluid mechanics

According to it , pressure is transmitted in liquid from one point to another without any change .

25 cm diameter = 12.5 x 10⁻² m radius

Area = 3.14 x (12.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 490.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Pressure by vehicle

Force / area

13000 / 490.625 x 10⁻⁴

= 26.497 x 10⁴ Pa

5 cm diameter = 2.5 x 10⁻² radius

area = 3.14 x (2.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

If we assume required force F on this area

Pressure = F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ Pa

According to Pascal Law

F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴  = 26.497 x 10⁴

F = 19.625 x 26.497

= 520 N
