podryga [215]

Answer:

Due to lower risk of injury or damage.

Explanation:

The high divers would choose to enter the water from the feet first because there is low risk of injury. The brain is the most important part of the body which very sensitive to any small injury. Small injury to brain leads to big problems in life. High divers can reach speeds of nearly 60 mph and enters about 28m into the water in about three seconds which can damage the head region if comes in contact with the ground so this is the reason the high divers avoid of entering in the water through their heads and choose entering through their feet.

Why do nuclear power plants use fission rather than fusion to generate
kicyunya [14]

B. Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is the decay process in which a heavy nuclide is bombarded with with neutrons.

  • Both processes release a huge amount of energy.
  • But fusion produces far more energy.
  • The reason why nuclear fusion is not in use is because of the high pressure and temperature needed start it.
  • The activation energy is high and the energy barrier is very great.
  • Only the core of the sun naturally favors fusion

A rocket of mass 1000kg uses 5kg of fuel and oxygen to produce exhaust gases ejected at 500m/s calculate the increase its veloci
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Approximately \rm 2.5\; m \cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

Let the increase in the rocket's velocity be \Delta v. Let v_0 represent the initial velocity of the rocket. Note that for this question, the exact value of  v_0 doesn't really matter.

The momentum of an object is equal to its mass times its velocity.

  • Mass of the rocket with the 5 kg of fuel: 1000.
  • Initial velocity of the rocket and the fuel: v_0.
  • Hence the initial momentum of the rocket: 1000\,v_0.
  • Mass of the rocket without that 5 kg of fuel: 1000 - 5 = 995.
  • Final velocity of the rocket: v_0 + \Delta v.
  • Hence the final momentum of the rocket: 995\,(v_0 + \Delta v).
  • Mass of the 5 kg of fuel: 5.
  • Final velocity of the fuel: v_0 - 500 (assuming that the the 500 m/s in the question takes the rocket as its reference.)
  • Hence the final momentum of the fuel: 5\,(v_0 - 500).

Momentum is conserved in an isolated system like the rocket and its fuel. That is:

Sum of initial momentum = Sum of final momentum.

1000\,v_0 = 995\,(v_0 + \Delta v) + 5\,(v_0 - 500).

Note that 1000\, v_0 appears on both sides of the equation. These two terms could hence be eliminated.

0 = 995\, \Delta v - 5\times 500.

\displaystyle \Delta v = \frac{5}{995}\times 500 \approx \rm 2.5\; m \cdot s^{-1}.

Hence, the velocity of the rocket increased by around 2.5 m/s.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

A student who runs every day is becoming bored with her physical fitness routine and considers quitting. Now in order maintain her fitness routine she needs to break the monotony by changing her exercise regime. She do other activities like play sports two days a week, she do aerobics, she even try some cardio vascular exercises which as good as running. She also try changing her route of running as the new view might inspire her.
