Four arrows, all with the same shape and size, are shot directly upward. Ignore the effect of air resistance, but the arrows have different masses and are fired with different speeds. Rank them from highest to lowest in terms of the greatest height that they will reach. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.)
mass = 0.125 kg, vinitial = 18.0 m/s
mass = 0.0500 kg, vinitial = 16.0 m/s
mass = 0.100 kg, vinitial = 20.0 m/s
mass = 0.0750 kg, vinitial = 22.0 m/s
A child with mass of 16.5 kg stands on the edge of a park bench and leaps into the air. Her initial speed is 2.4 m/s directed at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.28 seconds what is the horizontal component of her velocity in m/s?
A 4.95 * 105 -kg rocket is accelerating straight up. It's engines produce 1.4 * 107 N of thrust, and air resistance is 4.55 * 106N.Considering the variables below:m =4.95*105 -kg
f = 1.4 * 107 N
fr=4.55*106 N
What would be rockets acceleration, using a coordinates system where up is positive?

- A small rocket for gathering weather data has a mass of 30 kg and generates 1500 N of thrust. On a windy day, the wind exerts a 20 N horizontal force on the rocket. If the rocket is launched straight up, what is the shape of its trajectory, and by how much has it been deflected sideways when it reaches a height of 1.0 km? Because the rocket goes much higher than this, assume there’s no significant mass loss during the first 1.0 km of flight.arrow_forwardAs shown in (Figure 1), block AA (mass 2.10 kgkg) rests on a tabletop.
