Answer:
2.00 seconds.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Initial velocity (u) = 9.81 m/s
Total time in air (T) =..?
Next, we shall determine the time taken for the rocket to reach it's maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:
Note: At maximum height, the final velocity is zero.
Initial velocity (u) = 9.81 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time to reach the maximum height (t) =.?
v = u – gt (since the rocket is going against gravity)
0 = 9.81 – 9.8t
Rearrange
9.8t = 9.81
Divide both side by 9.8
t = 9.81/9.8
t = 1.00 s
Therefore the time taken to reach the maximum height is 1.00 second.
Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the rocket in the air as follow:
Time to reach the maximum height (t) = 1.00 s
Total time in air (T) =..?
T = 2t
T = 2 × 1.00
T = 2.00 s
Therefore, the total time spent by the rocket in the air is 2.00 seconds.
Scientists launch a rocket, and they monitor its acceleration and the force exerted by its engines. As the rocket gets higher, the monitors show that the acceleration of the rocket is increasing but the force exerted stays the same. How do Newton’s laws explain why the scientists could expect this to happen? The total force stays the same, but the action force is increasing as the reaction decreases. The mass of the rocket decreases as fuel is burned, so the acceleration increases. The inertia of the rocket increases, which reduces the force needed to change its speed. The reaction force is increasing as fuel is burned, which causes a greater acceleration.
Newton’s laws explain why scientists could expect this to happen , The mass of the rocket decreases as fuel is burned, so the acceleration increases, therefore the correct answer is option B.
What is Newton's second law?Newton's Second Law states that The resultant force acting on an object is proportional to the rate of change of momentum. The mathematical expression for Newton's second law is as follows
As given in the problem Scientists launch a rocket, and they monitor its acceleration and the force exerted by its engines. As the rocket gets higher, the monitors show that the acceleration of the rocket is increasing but the force exerted stays the same.
Newton's laws clarify why scientists may anticipate this to occur. The right response is option B because as fuel is burnt, the rocket's mass reduces, and its acceleration rises.

How to find average speed
Answer:
Average speed (s) = total distance/total elapsed tiime
Explanation:
To calculate the average speed of an object, you must know the total distance an object travels and the total elapsed time of its whole journey.
Answer:
To find the average speed of an object, divide the total distance covered by the object by the total time it takes the object to cover such distance.
average speed= total distance covered/total time

An rescue airplane flies horizontally over level terrain with a speed of 251 m/s and at an altitude of 2.73 km. The airplane releases one package. (a) How far does the package travel horizontally between its release and its impact on the ground? Ignore air resistance. m (b) If the pilot maintains the airplane's original course, altitude, and speed, where will the plane be when the package hits the ground? Ignore air resistance. behind the bomb directly above the bomb ahead of the bomb (c) The package hits the target seen in the airplane's telescopic "bombsight" at the moment of the package's release. At what angle from the vertical was the bombsight set? ° from the vertical
Answer:
a) x = 5923.6 m , b) directly above the bomb ahead of the bomb,
c) θ = 65.3º
Explanation:
This is a projectile launching exercise
a) As the package is released from the plane at its same speed, vox 0 251 m / s, they indicate that the plane flies horizontally, therefore the initial vertical speed is zero, let's calculate the time of arrival to the ground
y = y₀ + [tex]v_{oy}[/tex] t - ½ g t²
to the ground y = 0
0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²
t = √ (2y₀ / g)
t = √ (2 2730 / 9.8)
t = 23.60 s
the horizontal distance traveled is
x = v₀ₓ t
x = 251 23.6
x = 5923.6 m
b) since there is no acceleration on the x-axis and it is indicated that the air resistance is zero in part it must be just below the plane
directly above the bomb ahead of the bomb
c) for this part we can use trigonometry
since the angle with respect to the vertical is requested, the opposite leg is the horizontal distance
tan θ = x / y
θ = tan⁻¹ (x / y)
θ = tan⁻¹ (5923.6 / 2730)
θ = 65.3º

The distance, x, covered by a particle in time, t, is given as x=a +bc+ct^2 +dt^3
.find the dimension of the constants a, b, c and d
Answer:
[tex]a[/tex] has units of distance
[tex]b[/tex] has units of distance over time
[tex]c[/tex] has units of distance over [tex]time^2[/tex]
[tex]d[/tex] has units of distance over [tex]time^3[/tex]
Explanation:
Since the expression for the distance is:
[tex]x = a+b\,t+c\,t^2+d\,t^3[/tex]
then:
[tex]a[/tex] has units of distance
[tex]b[/tex] has units of distance over time
[tex]c[/tex] has units of distance over [tex]time^2[/tex]
[tex]d[/tex] has units of distance over [tex]time^3[/tex]
because we are supposed to be able to add all of the terms and get a distance. So the products on each term that contains factors of time (t) should be cancelling those time units with units in the denominator of the multiplicative constant s that accompany them.
3. How does the resistance of the light bulbs differ when the bulbs are cold and when the bulbs are hot? Why do you think this happens?
Answer:
the hot bulb will have high resistance to the flow of current. While the cold bulb will have a low resistance to the flow of current.
Explanation:
A conductor that does not obey Ohm's law is described as non - ohmic. An example is a filament lamp. It glows as the current passes through it.
How does the resistance of the light bulbs differ when the bulbs are cold and when the bulbs are hot ?
The resistance of the light bulbs increase gradually as its temperature is increased.
So, the hot bulb will have high resistance to the flow of current. While the cold bulb will have a low resistance to the flow of current.
Because the resistance of an impure metal wire is greater than the resistance of a pure metal wire of the same dimension.
An ideal gas is contained in a vessel at 300 K. The temperature of the gas is then increased to 900 K. (i) By what factor does the average kinetic energy of the molecules change, (a) a factor of 9, (b) a factor of 3, (c) a factor of !3, (d) a factor of 1, or (e) a factor of 1 3 ? Using the same choices as in part (i), by what factor does each of the following change: (ii) the rms molecular speed of the molecules, (iii) the average momentum change that one molecule undergoes in a collision with one particular wall, (iv) the rate of collisions of molecules with walls, and (v) the pressure of the gas.
The question is missing some parts. Here is the complete question.
An ideal gas is contained in a vessel at 300K. The temperature of the gas is then increased to 900K.
(i) By what factor does the average kinetic energy of the molecules change, (a) a factor of 9, (b) a factor of 3, (c) a factor of [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex], (d) a factor of 1, or (e) a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]?
Using the same choices in part (i), by what factor does each of the following change: (ii) the rms molecular speed of the molecules, (iii) the average momentum change that one molecule undergoes in a colision with one particular wall, (iv) the rate of collisions of molecules with walls, and (v) the pressure of the gas.
Answer: (i) (b) a factor of 3;
(ii) (c) a factor of [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex];
(iii) (c) a factor of [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex];
(iv) (c) a factor of [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex];
(v) (e) a factor of 3;
Explanation: (i) Kinetic energy for ideal gas is calculated as:
[tex]KE=\frac{3}{2}nRT[/tex]
where
n is mols
R is constant of gas
T is temperature in Kelvin
As you can see, kinetic energy and temperature are directly proportional: when tem perature increases, so does energy.
So, as temperature of an ideal gas increased 3 times, kinetic energy will increase 3 times.
For temperature and energy, the factor of change is 3.
(ii) Rms is root mean square velocity and is defined as
[tex]V_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_{B}T}{m} }[/tex]
Calculating velocity for each temperature:
For 300K:
[tex]V_{rms1}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_{B}300}{m} }[/tex]
[tex]V_{rms1}=30\sqrt{\frac{k_{B}}{m} }[/tex]
For 900K:
[tex]V_{rms2}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_{B}900}{m} }[/tex]
[tex]V_{rms2}=30\sqrt{3}\sqrt{\frac{k_{B}}{m} }[/tex]
Comparing both veolcities:
[tex]\frac{V_{rms2}}{V_{rms1}}= (30\sqrt{3}\sqrt{\frac{k_{B}}{m} }) .\frac{1}{30} \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_{B}} }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{V_{rms2}}{V_{rms1}}=\sqrt{3}[/tex]
For rms, factor of change is [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
(iii) Average momentum change of molecule depends upon velocity:
q = m.v
Since velocity has a factor of [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] and velocity and momentum are proportional, average momentum change increase by a factor of
(iv) Collisions increase with increase in velocity, which increases with increase of temperature. So, rate of collisions also increase by a factor of [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex].
(v) According to the Pressure-Temperature Law, also known as Gay-Lussac's Law, when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, pressure and temperature are directly proportional. So, when temperature increases by a factor of 3, Pressure also increases by a factor of 3.

Atoms are spherical in shape. Therefore, the Pt atoms in the cube cannot fill all the available space. If only 74.0 percent of the space inside the cube is taken up by Pt atoms, calculate the radius in picometers of a Pt atom. The mass of a single Pt atom is 3.240 × 10−22 g. [The volume of a sphere of radius r is (4/3) πr3. The volume of a cube is l3, where l is the length of a side. Avogadro's number is 6.022 × 1023.]
Answer:
A)6.6×10^22atoms of Pt in the cube
B)1.4×10^-8m
Explanation:
(a) Calculate the number of Pt atoms in the cube.
an edge length of platinum (Pt) = 1.0 cm.
Then Volume= 1.0 cm×1.0 cm×1.0 cm=1cm^3
Then we have volume of the cube as 1cm^3
Given:
The density Pt = 21.45 g/cm3
the mass of a single Pt atom =3.240 x 10^-22 g
Then with 1atom of the platinum element, we can calculate the number of Pt atoms in the cube as
Density of pt/mass of a single Pt atom
=(21.45 /=3.240 x 10^-22)
=6.6×10^22atoms of Pt in the cube
B)Volume of cube V=4/3πr^3
V= 4/3 ×π×r^3
V= 4.19067r^3
r^3= V/4.19067
But volume is not total volume but just 74% of it, then With 74% of the space inside the cube is taken up by Pt atoms, then we need to find 74% of volume of the cube which is 1cm^3
74/100 ×1= 0.74cm^3
Then our new volume V is 0.74cm^3
r^3=0.74/4.19067×6.620 x 10^22
r^3=2.6674×10^-24
r= 3√2.6674×10^-24
r=1.4×10^-8m
A snapshot of three racing cars is shown in the diagram. All three cars start the race at the same time, at the same place, and move along a straight track. As they approach the finish line, which car has the lowest average speed?
Answer:
The car furthest from the finish line: Car III (Choice C).
Explanation:
It's asking for lowest average speed throughout the entire race. Therefore, whoever is last technically has the lowest average speed.
Car III is far behind Car I and Car II so Choice A and B aren't correct. Choice D is incorrect since the three cars aren't in the same position. Choice E is incorrect because there is enough information to see that Choice C has the lowest average speed.
An object experiences a net acceleration to the left. Which of the following statements about this object are true? There may be more than one true statement below. Group of answer choices If there is one force to the left on the object, there must at least be one force on it to the right as well. There must be two or more forces on the object. The object cannot be slowing down. The net force on the object is to the right. If there is one force down on the object, there must at least be one force up on it as well. If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude. Assume the forces on the object are unchanged. The object might be in equilibrium. If the mass of the object were halved, it would experience an acceleration to the right. Assume the forces on the object are unchanged. The net force on the object is to the left.
Answer:
When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitudeExplanation:
When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
From Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of the object is given as;
a = ∑F / m
a = -F / m
The negative value of "a" indicates acceleration to the left
where;
∑F is the net force on the object
m is the mass of the object
At a constant force, F = ma ⇒ m₁a₁ = m₂a₂
If the mass of the object was doubled, m₂ = 2m₁
a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (m₂)
a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (2m₁)
a₂ = ¹/₂(a₁)
Therefore, the following can be deduced from the acceleration of this object;
When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitudeWhat are the products in the reaction in the introduction above? Select all that apply.

A student throws a ball straight down off a very high building with a magnitude of 3m/s and
accelerates in free fall for 2.0 s.
What is the velocity of the ball at 2.0 s?
Answer:
Vf = 22.62 [m/s] in 2 seconds.
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation
[tex]v_{f} = v_{i} + (g*t)[/tex]
where:
Vf = final velocity [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 3 [m/s]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]
t = time = 2 [s]
Vf = 3 + (9.81*2)
Vf = 22.62 [m/s]

In this example, we will consider conservation of momentum in an isolated system consisting of an astronaut and a wrench. An astronaut is floating in space 100 m from her ship when her safety cable becomes unlatched. She and the ship are motionless relative to each other. The astronaut's mass (including space suit) is 100 kg; she has a 1.0 kg wrench and only a 20 minute air supply. Thinking back to her physics classes, she devises a plan to use conservation of momentum to get back to the ship safely by throwing the wrench away from her. In what direction should she throw the wrench
Answer:
She must throw it in the opposite direction away from herself and the ship at a velocity of -8.33 m/s.
Explanation:
She must throw it in the opposite direction away from herself and the ship. To find the velocity with which she throws it, we consider the law of conservation of momentum.
Since initial momentum = final momentum and the initial momentum of the astronaut and wrench = 0
0 = final momentum
0 = mv + MV where m = mass of wrench = 1.0 kg, v = velocity of wrench, M = mass of astronaut + suit = 100 kg and V = velocity of astronaut.
So. mv = -MV
v = -MV/m
Now, if the astronaut is supposed to cover a distance of 100 m from the space ship in 20 minutes, her velocity should be, V = distance/time = 100 m/ 20 min = 100 m/(20 × 60 s) = 100 m/1200 = 0.0833 m/s
So v = -MV/m
= -100 kg × 0.0833 m/s ÷ 1.0 kg
= -8.33 m/s
She must throw the wrench in the opposite direction away from herself and the ship at a velocity of -8.33 m/s.

A car traveling in a straight line has a velocity
of 5.25 m/s at some instant. After 4.27 s, its
velocity is 9.38 m/s.
What is its average acceleration in this time
interval?

A student pushes a 0.5 kg lab cart with a force of 3 Newtons. Determine the acceleration of the cart in
m/s2.
Answer:
The acceleration is 6 [tex]\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Use Newton's second law to solve the problem:
[tex]Force = mass\,\,*\,\,acceleration\\3\,N = 0.5\,\,kg\,*\,a\\a = \frac{3}{0.5} \frac{m}{s^2} \\a=6\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
the acceleration of the cart given its mass and force exerted is 6m/s².
Given the data in the question;
Mass of lab cart; [tex]m = 0.5kg[/tex]
Force applied; [tex]F = 3N[/tex]
Acceleration of cart; [tex]a = \ ?[/tex]
To determine the acceleration of the cart, we use the expression from Newton's second law of Motion:
[tex]F = m* a[/tex]
Where F is force exerted, m is mass and a is acceleration
We substitute our given values into the equation
[tex]3N = 0.5kg \ * \ a\\\\3kgm/s^2 = 0.5kg\ *\ a\\\\a = \frac{3kgm/s^2}{0.5kg} \\\\a = 6m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, the acceleration of the cart given its mass and force exerted is 6m/s².

1. (50 points) In household wiring, usually 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) is used. A light bulb is connected to power supply through such a wire. A 1.5-Ampere current runs through the wire and the light bulb. a. (10 points) What is the resistance of 10-meter length of the wire? b. (15 points) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each second? c. (10 points) What is the current density in the wire? d. (15 points) If we were to use wire of twice the diameter, which of the above answers would change? Would they increase or decrease? You do not need to do any calculations.
Answer:
a. 50.9 mΩ b. 9.32 × 10¹⁸ electrons/s c. 4.55 × 10⁵ A/m² d. i. resistance and current density ii. They would decrease.
Explanation:
a. The resistance of the copper wire is given by
R = ρl/A where ρ = resistivity of copper wire = 1.68 × 10⁻⁸ Ωm, l = length of copper wire = 10 m and A = cross-sectional area of coper wire = πd²/4 where d = diameter of copper wire = 2.05 mm = 2.05 × 10⁻³ m
A = πd²/4
= π(2.05 × 10⁻³ m)²/4
= 13.2025/4 × 10⁻⁶ m²
= 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m².
So R = ρl/A
= 1.68 × 10⁻⁸ Ωm × 10 m/3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m²
= 0.0509 Ω
= 50.9 mΩ
b. Since a current of 1.5 A flows through the wire, it means that 1.5 C/s, that is 1.5 Coulombs of charge flows through it per second.
Since 1 electron = 1.609 × 10⁻¹⁹ C, the number of electrons in 1.5 A is 1.5 C/s ÷ 1.609 × 10⁻¹⁹ C per electron = 1.5/1.609 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 9.32 × 10¹⁸ electrons/s
c. The current density J = I/A where I = current = 1.5 A and A = cross-sectional area of copper wire = 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m²
J = 1.5 A/3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m²
= 4.55 × 10⁵ A/m²
d. i. If the diameter were twice the initial diameter, d' = 2d, then the resistance and current density would change since they are dependent of the cross-sectional area of the wire which is then dependent on the diameter of the wire.
ii. If the diameter were twice the initial diameter, d' = 2d, then since the cross-sectional area A' = πd'²/4 = π(2d)²/4 = 4πd²/4 = 4A. So, the cross-sectional area increases by a factor of four.
The new resistance R' = ρl/4A = R/4
The new current density J' = I/4A = J/4.
So the resistance and current density would decrease.

150 m = (2.5 m/s) t + 1/2 (6.3 m/s²) t²
(3.15 m/s²) t² + (2.5 m/s) t - 150 m = 0
t = 1/2 [(-2.5 m/s) + √((2.5 m/s)² - 4 * (3.15 m/s²) * (-150 m))]
(Use the quadratic formula, and take the positive root)
t ≈ 6.52 s
