Answers

Answer 1

Question:

A small rocket is launched vertically upward from the edge of a cliff 80 ft off the ground at a speed of 69 ft/s. Its height (in feet) above the ground is given by  [tex]h(t) = - 25t^2 + 200t + 400[/tex] where t represents time measured in seconds.

Assuming the rocket is launched at t=0, what is an appropriate domain for h?

Answer:

[tex]0 \le t \le 9.66[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]h(t) = - 25t^2 + 200t + 400[/tex]

Required

Determine the domain of h

The initial value of t is 0.

i.e.

[tex]t = 0[/tex] --- This is given in the question

To determine the final value, we simply solve for t in [tex]h(t) = - 25t^2 + 200t + 400[/tex]

Rewrite the expression:

[tex]- 25t^2 + 200t + 400=0[/tex]

Divide through by -25

[tex]\frac{-25t^2}{-25} + \frac{200t}{-25} + \frac{400}{25}=\frac{0}{-25}[/tex]

[tex]t^2 - 8t - 16 = 0[/tex]

Using quadratic formula:

[tex]t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where

[tex]a= 1[/tex]    [tex]b = -8[/tex]  and [tex]c = -16[/tex]

The expression becomes:

[tex]t = \frac{-(-8)\±\sqrt{(-8)^2 - 4*1*(-16)}}{2*1}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{8\±\sqrt{64+ 64}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{8\±\sqrt{128}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{128} = 11.31[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]t = \frac{8\±11.31}{2}[/tex]

Split

[tex]t = \frac{8+11.31}{2}\ or\ t = \frac{8-11.31}{2}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{19.31}{2}\ or\ t = \frac{-3.31}{2}[/tex]

[tex]t = 9.66\ or\ t = -1.66[/tex]

But time can't be negative.

So:

[tex]t = 9.66[/tex]

Hence, the domain is:

[tex]0 \le t \le 9.66[/tex]

An object travels at 3.06 m distance with uniform acceleration in this interval it's velocity increases by 0.18 and it's average velocity over the interval was 0.34 m/s what is the acceleration?

Answers

Given that,

Distance travelled, d = 3.06 m

Final velocity, v = 0.18 m/s

Average velocity of the object, V = 0.34 m/s

To find,

The acceleration of the object.

Solution,

Let t is the time in which it covers distance d. Average velocity is given by distance covered divided by time.

[tex]V=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{V}\\\\t=\dfrac{3.06}{0.34}\\\\t=9\ s[/tex]

Let a is the acceleration of the object. Using equation of motion to find it :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0.18-0}{9}\\\\a=0.02\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration of the object is 0.02 m/s².

Two plates are 2cm apart, a potential difference of 10 V is applied
between them, find the electric field between the plates.

Answers

Answer:

The electric field betwee the plates is 500 V/m

Explanation:

Voltage

The electrical potential difference V between the two plates is expressed as

V=Ed

Where:

E = Electric field strength

d = Distance between the plates

It's expressed in Joules/coulomb, Volts/m or equivalent units.

The plates are separated d=2 cm and a potential difference V=10 V is applied. The electric field strength between the plates can be calculated by solving the formula for E:

[tex]\displaystyle E=\frac{V}{d}[/tex]

Converting cm to m: d=2 / 100 = 0.02 m

[tex]\displaystyle E=\frac{10\ V}{0.02\ m}[/tex]

Dividing:

E = 500 V/m

The electric field betwee the plates is 500 V/m

A 5 kilogram block is dropped from a height of 3 meters and falls straight to the ground. What is the work done by the force of gravity?

Answers

Answer:

Workdone = 147Nm

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5kg

Height = 3m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s²

First of all, we would find the force applied;

[tex] Force = mass * acceleration [/tex]

Force = 5*9.8

Force = 49N

Now, to find the workdone;

[tex] Workdone = force * distance [/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 49 * 3

Workdone = 147Nm
