Speed: Mass and Space Shuttle Endeavor
What is the speed of a rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds?
What is the speed of a jet plane that travels 528 meters in 4 seconds?
After an impact involving a non-functioning satellite, a paint chip leaves the surface of the satellite at a speed of 96 m/s. After 17 seconds, how far has the chip landed?
The space shuttle Endeavor is launched to altitude of 500 km above the surface of the earth. The shuttle travels at an average rate of 700 m/s. How long will it take for
Endeavor to reach its orbit?
How long will your trip take (in hours) if you travel 350 km at an average speed of
80 km/hr?
How many seconds will it take for a satellite to travel 450 km at a rate of 120 m/s?
1. d=vt (distance = velocity multiplied by time) d=9000 m t=12.12 sec. solving for v, v=d/t, v=742.57 m/sec. 2. d=vt d=528 m t=4 sec solving for v, v=d/t, v=132 m/sec. 3. d=vt v=96 m/sec. t=17 sec. d=1632 m 4. d=vt d=500,000 m v=700 m/sec. solving for t, t=d/v, t=714.3 sec.(11.9 min.) 5. d=vt d=350,000 m v=80,000 m/hr. solving for t, t=d/v t=4.375 hrs. 6. d=vt d=450,000 m v=120 m/sec solving for t, t=d/v, t=3750 sec.
Problem 1
An African elephant can reach heights of 13 feet and possess a mass of as much as 6000 kg. Determine the weight of an African elephant in Newtons and in pounds. (Given: 1.00 N = .225 pounds)
58800 N or 13230 lb
Problem 2
About twenty percent of the National Football League weighs more than 300 pounds. At this weight, their Body Mass Index (BMI) places them at Grade 2 obesity, which is one step below morbid obesity. Determine the mass of a 300 pound (1330 N) football player.
