Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the instant their retrorockets fire. Rocket A has an initia

l velicity of +5800m/s, while Rocket B has an initial velocity of +8600m/s. After a time t both rockets are again side by side, the displacement of each being zero. The acceleration of rocket A is -15m/s^2. What is the acceleration of rocket B?

Answer:

-22.2 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation for position x for a constant acceleration a, time t and initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀:

(1) $x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0$

For rocket A the initial and final position: x = x₀= 0. Using these values in equation 1 gives:

(2) $0=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t$

Solving for time t:

$-\frac{1}{2}at^2=v_0t$

(3) $t=-\frac{2v_0}{a}$

The times for both rockets must be equal, since they start and end at the same location. Using equation 3 for rocket A and B gives:

(4) $\frac{v_{0A}}{a_A}=\frac{v_{0B}}{a_B}$

Solving equation 4 for acceleration of rocket B:

(5) $a_B=a_A\frac{v_{0B}}{v_{0A}}$

The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is - 2.10 ×10−6C/m2. A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.

inn [45]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate electric field because of the plate is as follows.

E = $\frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}$

= $\frac{2.10 \times 10^{-6}}{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$

= $1.18 \times 10^{5} N/C$

Now, we will consider that equilibrium of forces are present there. So,

ma = qE

a = $\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.18 \times 10^{5}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}$

= $1.13 \times 10^{13} m/s^2$

According to the third equation of motion,

$v^{2} = 2 \times a \times d$

or, d = $\frac{v^{2}}{2d}$

= $\frac{(2.4 \times 10^{6})^{2}}{2 \times 1.13 \times 10^{13}}$

= 0.254 m

Thus, we can conclude that the proton will travel 0.254 m before reaching its turning point.

Military specifications often call for electronic devices to be able to withstand accelerations of 10 g. to make sure that their

trapecia [35]

The solution for this problem is:
(10 x 9.8) = 98.1 m/sec^2 acceleration. Time, to travel 9.4cm or (.094m.), at acceleration of 98m/sec^2

= sqrt(2d/a), = sqrt (98.1 m/sec^2/0.094m) = 32.3050619 sec per cycle

Frequency = (w/2pi), = 32.3050619/2pi
= 32.3050619/6.28318531
= 5.14 Hz would be the answer

A thin, horizontal, 18-cm-diameter copper plate is charged to -3.8 nC. Assume that the electrons are uniformly distributed on th

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Part a)

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Part b)

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Explanation:

Part a)

Electric field due to large sheet is given as

$E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

$\sigma = \frac{Q}{A}$

$Q = -3.8 nC$

$A = \pi(0.09)^2$

$A = 0.025 m^2$

$\sigma = \frac{-3.8\times 10^{-9}}{0.025}$

$\sigma = -1.5 \times 10^{-7} C/m^2$

now the electric field is given as

$E = \frac{-1.5 \times 10^{-7}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Part b)

Now since the electric field is required at same distance on other side

so the field will remain same on other side of the plate

$E = 8436.7 N/C$
