Please help me A person launches a home-built model rocket straight upinto the air at y = 0 from rest at time t = 0 . (The positive y-direction is upwards). The fuel burns out at t = t0. The position of the rocket is given by

with a0 and g are positive. Find the y-components of the velocity and acceleration of the rocket as a function of time. Graph ay vs t for 0 < t < t0.

Answer 1

Answer:
-- We know that the y-component of acceleration is the derivative of the
y-component of velocity.

-- We know that the y-component of velocity is the derivative of the
y-component of position.

-- We're given the y-component of position as a function of time.

So, finding the velocity and acceleration is simply a matter of differentiating
the position function ... twice.

Now, the position function may look big and ugly in the picture. But with the
exception of 't' , everything else in the formula is constants, so we don't even
need any fancy processes of differentiation. The toughest part of this is going
to be trying to write it out, given the text-formatting capabilities of the wonderful
envelope-pushing website we're working on here.

From the picture . . . . . y (t) = (1/2) (a₀ - g) t² - (a₀ / 30t₀⁴ ) t⁶

First derivative . . . y' (t) = (a₀ - g) t - 6 (a₀ / 30t₀⁴ ) t⁵ = (a₀ - g) t - (a₀ / 5t₀⁴ ) t⁵

There's your velocity . . . /\ .

Second derivative . . . y'' (t) = (a₀ - g) - 5 (a₀ / 5t₀⁴ ) t⁴ = (a₀ - g) - (a₀ /t₀⁴ ) t⁴

and there's your acceleration . . . /\ .
That's the one you're supposed to graph.

a₀ is the acceleration due to the model rocket engine thrust
combined with the mass of the model rocket
'g' is the acceleration of gravity ... 9.8 m/s² or 32.2 ft/sec²
t₀ is how long the model rocket engine burns

Pick, or look up, some reasonable figures for a₀ and t₀
and you're in business.

The big name in model rocketry is Estes. Their website will give you
all the real numbers for thrust and burn-time of their engines, if you
want to follow it that far.

um carro com uma velocidade de 80 km\h passa pelo km 240 de uma rodovia as 7:30. a que horas este carro chegara a proxima cidade, sabendo-se que a mesma esta situada no km 300 dessa rodovia?

Answers

From km 240 to km 300 there are 60 km.

The time to travel 60 km at 80km/h is t = d/V = 60km / 80 km/h = 3/4 h.

That is 45 minutes. Then the car will arrive at 7:30 + 45 min = 8:15.

At its closest point, Mercury is approximately 46 million kilometers from the sun. What is this distance in AU?

Answers

This problem can be solved using the following relation: 1 kilometer = 6.6846e-9 AU. Since we are already given the number of kilometers, we simply have to multiply it to its equivalent in AU to solve for the equivalent distance. This is done below:

46 000 000 * 6.6846e-9 = 0.3 AU

suppose that you look into a photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance between the photometer to lamp 1 is 400mm, the distance between the photometer to lamp 2 is 200 mm, and the intensity of lamp 2 is known to be 15 candelas, what is the intensity to lamp 1?

Answers

Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I) of a light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 candela

Which of the following actions or events did not contribute to the Dust Bowl? Farmers in the Central U.S. had plowed grasslands to grow food crops to feed the increasing human population.

A long drought in the 1930s left the exposed soil especially dry due to the lack of precipitation. With the advent of pesticides, minerals in the ground were leached.
