Two spaceships that have different masses but rocket engines of identical force are at rest in space. if they fire their rockets

at the same time, which ship will speed up faster

NISA [10]3 years ago

Force is calculated F=m×a.
If both ships speed up with the same force, but have a different mass, This means that a also has to be different. If F is the same but ship a has a bigger mass(m) than ship b, then the acceleration(a) of ship b has to be bigger so F of each ship is the same. So the ship with the smaller mass will speed up faster.

The displacement vector from your house to the library is 520 m long, pointing 40 ∘ north of east.What are the x-component (x-ax
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

398.3 m, 334.2 m

Explanation:

The magnitude of the displacement vector is

v = 520 m

And its direction is

\theta=40^{\circ}

measured as north of east.

The x-component of this vector is given by:

v_x = v_0 cos \theta = (520)cos 40^{\circ}=398.3 m

While the y-component is given by

v_y = v_0 sin \theta =(520)sin 40^{\circ}=334.2 m

Which factors affect gravitational force? Check all that apply.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

distance between the objects

masses of the objects

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force of attraction that pulls two objects with masses together.

To best understand the concept of gravitational force, newton's law of universal gravitation provides a good insight. The law states that "every object in the universe attracts each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".

From the law, we see that gravitational force is dependent on the masses of the object and their distances.

An 1647 w toaster, a 1592 w electric frying pan, and a 81 w lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 120-v circuit. (the three
yanalaym [24]

Since all of the appliances ... and everything else in the house that's
plugged into a wall outlet ... are all in parallel, they don't have any
effect on each other.  They don't know about each other.  The
question asks about the frying pan, so the toaster and the lamp
have no effect  on the answer.

The frying pan has 120 V applied to it, and it produces 1592 watts
of heat.

Power = (voltage)·(current)

1592 watts = (120 v)·(current)

Divide each side by 120v:

Current = (1592 watts) / (120 volts)

Current = 13.27 Amperes

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 X 10-3 kg m/s. Express this quantity as provider or use any equivalent unit.
olasank [31]

There could be more than just one answer, since kilograms can be converted to grams, to miligrams, etc.

7.2\frac{g.m}{s}

or

7200\frac{mg.m}{s}

Why?

Let's remember some conversion factors to work with kilograms (kg)

1kg=1000g=1x10^{3}g \\1kg=1,000,000mg=1x10^{6}mg \\1g=1000mg=1x10^{3}mg

So, we are given the momentum:

momentum=7.2x10^{-3} \frac{kg.m}{s}

We can rewrite the units of the momentum (equivalent) as follow:

momentum=7.2x10^{-3}kg \frac{m}{s}=7.2x10^{3} x10^{-3}g\frac{m}{s}=7.2\frac{g.m}{s}

and

momentum=7.2x10^{-3}kg \frac{m}{s}=7.2x10^{3} x10^{6}mg\frac{m}{s}=7.2x10^{3}\frac{mg.m}{s}

Note: There could be more equivalent units for the momentum, in example, we could work with equivalent units for meters (distance) and seconds (time).

Have a nice day!
