<u>Motion with Constant Acceleration</u>
A body moves with constant acceleration when the speed changes uniformly in time. The equation used to find the final speed vf is
Where vo is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
The cyclist has an initial speed of vo=10 miles/hour and ends up at vf=20 miles/hour in t=5 seconds.
Both speeds are given in miles/hour and we must convert it to m/s:
1 mile/hour = 0.44704 m/s
10 mile/hour = 4.47 m/s
20 mile/hour = 8.94 m/s
The acceleration is calculated by solving for a:
Answer:
Because of the formula
Explanation:
In this problem we are describing two different processes:
- Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei
- Nuclear fusion occurs when two (or more) light nuclei fuse together producing a heavier nucleus
In both cases, the total mass of the final products is smaller than the total mass of the initial nuclei.
According to Einsten's formula, this mass difference has been converted into energy, as follows:
where:
E is the energy released in the reaction
is the mass defect, the difference between the final total mass and the initial total mass
is the speed of light
From the formula, we see that the factor is a very large number, therefore even if the mass defect
is very small, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission release huge amounts of energy.
Answer:
6.14 s
Explanation:
The time the rocket takes to reach the top is only determined from its vertical motion.
The initial vertical velocity of the rocket is:
where
u = 100 m/s is the initial speed
is the angle of launch
Now we can apply the suvat equation for an object in free-fall:
where
is the vertical velocity at time t
is the acceleration of gravity
The rocket reaches the top when
So by substituting into the equation, we find the time t at which this happens:
