The tension in the string B) It quadruples.

Explanation:

The ball is in uniform circular motion in a horizontal circle, so the tension in the string is providing the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion. So we can write:

T= m\frac{v^2}{r}

where:

T is the tension in the string

m is the mass of the ball

v is the speed of the ball

r is the radius of the circle (the lenght of the string)

In this problem, we are told that the speed of the ball is doubled, so

v' = 2v

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the new tension in the string:

T' = m \frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(m\frac{v^2}{r})=4T

Therefore, the tension in the string will quadruple.

The force that accelerates a rocket in outer space is exerted on the rocket by the?
Nana76 [90]

Gases at pressure are released by rockets as they travel towards space. According to Newton's third law, the combustion chamber's exhaust gases push the rocket with an accelerating force known as the thrust.

<h3>Explain exactly Newton's Third Law:</h3>

According to Newton's third law, if an object A pulls on an object B, then object B must exert an equal-sized and opposite-direction force on the first thing directed in the opposite direction. This law illustrates a symmetry in nature whereby forces always occur in pairs and whereby no body can exert a force without also being subjected to one.

<h3>What are Newton's 3rd law examples?</h3>

Action and response are always equal but always move in the opposite direction, according to Newton's third law of motion. A human walking on the ground, a hammer driving a nail, a magnet attracting a paper clip, and a horse pulling a cart are all examples of Newton's third rule of motion.

Compare the atmospheric pressure of two places 500m and 2 km respectively above sea-level. Give reason for your answer.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The average pressure at mean sea-level (MSL) in the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) is 1013.25 hPa, or 1 atmosphere (atm), or 29.92 inches of mercury. Pressure (p), mass (m), and the acceleration due to gravity (g), are related by P = F/A = (m*g)/A, where A is surface area.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Green house effect:

 Temperature of atmosphere is going to  increased continuously, because infrared light absorbed by gas .This increased in temperature atmosphere    is called green house effect.

The green houses gases are as follows

,Carbon diaoxide,water vapor  ,,Carbon diaoxide ,Methane ,,Carbon diaoxide oxide,CFCs ,ozone.

So the option c is correct.
