A rocket is launched at an angle of 50.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 102 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile.

(a) Find the maximum altitude reached by the rocket.
  m

(b) Find its total time of flight.
  s

(c) Find its horizontal range.

A cart is attached to a hanging mass by a string that passes over a pulley. a) Draw free-body diagrams for the cart and the hanging mass (Clearly label all forces present and indicate their relative magnitudes) when the cart is moving:(i) on a horizontal track.(ii) up a track inclined at an angle .b) When the cart moves on an incline at constant speed, it is in equilibrium; i.e., the net force on it is zero. Does it require more, less, or the same tension in the string to pull the cart up the track at constant speed or down the track at constant speed? Explain your answer.c)Derive an equation for the work done by friction when the cart is moving up the track at constant speed. Show your work.

A 4.92 kg particle-like object moves in a plane with velocity components vx = 43.2 m/s and vy = 35.7 m/s as it passes through the point with (x, y) coordinates of (5.46, -8.28) m. Just then, in unit-vector notation, what is its angular momentum relative to (a) the origin and (b) the point (-8.30, -8.30) m?

If the activity of a radioactive substance is initially 398 disintegrations/minute and two days later it is 285 disintegrations/minute, what is the activity four days later still, or six days after the start? Give your answer in disintegrations/minute.

note: I'm really unsure of the step by step instructions on how to enter this in the calculator. Prof had an answer of N = 146 days with a disintegration constant of 0.16698/day. Please be very descriptive in your answer! *also what does the e represent in the formula N(t) = No e ^-ln2 x t/T1/2

Much appreciated! Thank-you!

Two loudspeakers are located 3.50 m apart on an outdoor stage. A listener is 19.3 m from one and 20.2 m from the other. During the sound chek, a signal generator drives the two speakers in phase with the same amplitude and frequency. The transmitted frequency is swept through the audible range (20 Hz - 20 kHz). The speed of sound in the air is 343 m/s. What are the three lowest frequencies that give minimum signal (destructive interference) at the listener's location?

(a)  Hz (lowest)

(b)  Hz (second lowest)

(c)  Hz (third lowest)

What are the three lowest frequencies that give maximum signal (constructive interference) at the listener's location?

(d)  Hz (lowest)

(e)  Hz (second lowest)

(f)  Hz (third lowest)
