Applications


Liftoff from Earth A rocket lifts off the surface of Earth with a constant acceleration of 20 m/sec². How fast will the rocket be going 1 min later?

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the known quantities: the acceleration \(a = 20 \ \text{m/s}^2\) and the time \(t = 1 \ \text{minute}\). Convert the time to seconds since acceleration is in meters per second squared. So, \(t = 60 \ \text{seconds}\).
Recall the kinematic equation that relates velocity, acceleration, and time when starting from rest: \(v = v_0 + a t\). Since the rocket starts from rest, the initial velocity \(v_0 = 0\).
Substitute the known values into the equation: \(v = 0 + (20)(60)\).
Simplify the expression to find the velocity after 60 seconds, which will give the speed of the rocket 1 minute after liftoff.
Interpret the result as the rocket's speed in meters per second at 1 minute after liftoff.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Constant Acceleration

Constant acceleration means the velocity of an object changes at a steady rate over time. In this problem, the rocket's acceleration is 20 m/s², which means its speed increases by 20 meters per second every second.

Velocity-Time Relationship

When acceleration is constant, velocity changes linearly with time. The velocity after a certain time can be found using the formula v = at, where 'a' is acceleration and 't' is time elapsed.

Unit Conversion and Time Calculation

Time must be expressed in consistent units when applying formulas. Since acceleration is in meters per second squared and time is given in minutes, converting 1 minute to 60 seconds is essential for accurate calculation.
