AI Thread Summary
To determine the maximum velocity and force of friction for the model rocket, the weight of the rocket is 83.8 g, and it accelerates at 5.78 m/s². The normal force (Fn) was calculated as 82.266 N after converting grams to kilograms. The discussion raises questions about whether the acceleration is constant and how the rocket can reach a maximum height while accelerating. It is clarified that the acceleration is likely an average from the initial launch to the maximum height. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately solving the problem.

Homework Statement


ok, so i need to find max velocity and force of friction of a model rocket. The rocket weights 83.8 g, accelerates at 5.78 m/ss. Its max height is 84.99 m. please help


Homework Equations


ok for Ff = μkFn
as for Vmax i have no idea


The Attempt at a Solution


ok so i found Fn = 82.266 N because u have to convert grams to kg. Thats all i can figure out.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
a little confused.

is the acceleration constant?

if so then how does it have a max height if it is constantly accelerating?

or is it an initial acceleration?
 
the question is related to my model rocket we launched a week ago, the accceleration is average from initial to the max height. don't know if that makes sense.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
