Homer used the formula s=1/2at^2 where s is the altitude, a is the gravitational acceleration constant or 32 and t is the time it took for the rocket to land on its descending point.

They used 14 seconds--this datum was taken from AUK 12's records since AUK 13 and AUK 12's record are almost the same.

and then they solve it to know the altitude.

Once you know the altitude--you can now solve for the distance to locate the rocket's DESCENDING POINT... or simply where the rocket fall. Use trigonometry in solving it given that you have 90 degrees.

What are Three functions of the electrode covering in manual metal arc mma welding?

3 FEATURES OF FLUX CORED ELECTRODES Flux cored electrodes combine the advantages of several of the welding processes we have discussed earlier. As with coated electrodes, the flux improves the weld metal chemi- cal composition and mechanical properties. As in gas metal arc welding and submerged arc welding, productivity is increased because the electrode is continuous. 7.3.0.1 Flux cored electrodes may be used for welding carbon steels, low alloy high strength steels, and the high strength quenched and tempered steels. They are also used for welding stainless steels and abrasion resistant steels. These will be covered in subse- quent lessons. 7.3.1 Functions of the Flux Ingredients - As with coated ingredients, each manufac- turer has his own formulas for the flux ingredients. The composition of the flux core can be varied to provide electrodes for specific applications. 7.3.1.1 The basic functions of the flux ingredients are: a) Deoxidizers and Denitrifiers - Since nitrogen and oxygen can cause porosity or brittleness, deoxidizers such as manganese and silicon are added. In the case of self-shielded electrodes, denitrifiers such as aluminum are added. Both help to purify the weld metal. b) Slag Formers - Slag formers such as oxides of calcium, potassium, silicon or so- dium are added to protect the molten weld puddle from the atmosphere. The slag aids in improving the weld bead shape and "fast freezing" slags help hold the weld puddle for out-of-position welding. The slag also retards the cooling rate, especially important when welding the low alloy steels. c) Arc Stabilizers - Elements, such as potassium and sodium, help produce a smooth arc and reduce spatter. d) Alloying Elements - Alloying elements, such as molybdenum, chromium, carbon, manganese, nickel, and vanadium, are used to increase strength, ductility, hardness and toughness. e) Gasifiers - Minerals, such as fluorspar and limestone, are usually used to form a shielding gas in the self-shielded type wires.
