Since g is constant, the force the escaping gas exerts on the rocket will be 10.4 N

<h3>What is Escape Velocity ?</h3>

This is the minimum velocity required for an object to just escape the gravitational influence of an astronomical body.

Given that the velocity of a 0.25kg model rocket changes from 15m/s [up] to 40m/s [up] in 0.60s. The gravitational field intensity is 9.8N/kg.

To calculate the force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket, let first highlight all the given parameters

Mass (m) of the rocket 0.25 Kg

Initial velocity u = 15 m/s

Final Velocity v = 40 m/s

Time t = 0.6s

Gravitational field intensity g = 9.8N/kg

The force the gas exerts of the rocket = The force on the rocket

The rate change in momentum of the rocket = force applied

F = ma

F = m(v - u)/t

F = 0.25 x (40 - 15)/0.6

F = 0.25 x 41.667

F = 10.42 N

Since g is constant, the force the escaping gas exerts on the rocket is therefore 10.4 N approximately.

Rachel has been reading her physics book. She takes her weighing scales into an elevator and stands on them. If her normal weigh

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

345 N

Explanation:

Given:

Normal weight of Rachel (mg) = 690 N

Case 1: Upward motion of elevator

Given:

Acceleration of elevator (a) = 0.25 g

The scale reading is given by the normal force acting on Rachel. Let N₁ be the normal force.

So, the net force acting on Rachel is given as:

$F_{net}=N_1-mg=N_1-690$

Now, from Newton's second law:

$F_{net}=ma\\\\N_1-690=m\times 0.25g\\\\N_1-690=0.25\times (mg)\\\\N_1-690=0.25\times 690\\\\N_1=690+172.5=862.5\ N------(1)$

Case 2: Downward motion of elevator

Given:

Acceleration of elevator (a) = 0.25 g

The scale reading is given by the normal force acting on Rachel. Let N₂ be the normal force.

So, the net force acting on Rachel is given as:

$F_{net}=mg-N_2=690-N_2$

Now, from Newton's second law:

$F_{net}=ma\\\\690-N_2=m\times 0.25g\\\\690-N_2=0.25\times (mg)\\\\690-N_2=0.25\times 690\\\\N_2=690-172.5=517.5\ N------(2)$

Now, the difference in the scale reading is obtained by subtracting equation (2) from equation (1). This gives,

$Difference=N_1-N_2=862.5-517.5=345\ N$

Therefore, the difference between the up and down scale readings is 345 N.

A material through which a current does not move easily is a(n) _____.

barxatty [35]

<span>A material through which a current does not move easily is called
an insulator.

Technically, charges CAN move through an insulator, but they lose
a lot of energy doing it, so the current that flows through the insulator
is very very small, usually too small to even measure.

Another way to look at it: Insulators have high resistance.

In an undeveloped country, the rural areas will often be off the grid, with no access to consistent electricity. For a household

AveGali [126]

In an undeveloped country, the rural areas will often be off the grid, with no access to consistent electricity. For a household living in this situation, <u>wood</u> would most likely be used to heat the home in the winter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

With the help of wood, we can burn it and make fire to heat the house in winter. In the earlier days, wood was used to produce heat and was used for cooking and other purposes.

So when a rural area does not have electricity,stoves would be fired with either biomass fuels, such as wood, branches, twigs or dung, or coal. Also for heating the home, the same would be used. These fuels are collected from the local environment in rural areas and purchased through markets in urban areas. Even now in some countries like India and China use wood or any other biomass fuel for heating and cooking.
