A space rocket accelerates uniformly from rest to 160ms^-1 upwards in 4.0s, then travels with a constant speed of 160ms^-1 for t
he next 5.0s.
What is the initial acceleration of the rocket?
What is the initial acceleration of the rocket?
1 answer:
Answer:
40 ms¯².
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we shall illustrate the question with a diagram.
The attached photo gives a better understanding of the question.
From the attached photo:
Velocity (v) = 160 ms¯¹
Time (t) = 4 secs.
Acceleration (a) =?
Acceleration (a) = Velocity (v) /time (t)
a = v/t
a = 160/4
a = 40 ms¯²
Therefore, the initial acceleration of the rocket is 40 ms¯².

Answer:
I will explain the concept of magnetic field and how it can be calculated.
Explanation:
The formula for magnetic field at the center of a loop is given as
B = μI / 2R
where B is the magnetic field
R is the radius of the loop
I is the current
and μ is the magnetic permeability of free space which is a constant 4π ×
newtons/ampere²
If the magnetic field at the center of the loop is 0, then μI = 0
I = 0 which means there will be no current flow in the loop.
