Speed is just how fast the object is moving, while velocity is the speed and <em>direction </em>of the object.

edit* Direction would be something such as North, East, etc.

How do you change matter into other phases of matter?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Hey there!

There's many ways to do it - like melting and evaporating.

For example, we'll use water. Plain old water in a water bottle. Right now, it's in its liquid state of matter, but say you put it in the freezer for an hour. That would change its state of matter to solid, since it would be solid ice. Now, if you were to put it out in the sun on a blazing hot day for a couple of hours, it would evaporate and become water vapor, a gas. Lastly, if you can cool that water vapor it becomes a liquid again.

Hope this helps!

When a man walks across the carpet and reaches for the door knob, why does he get shocked? doorknob Question 3 options: There is
Mumz [18]

The imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials is known as static electricity. When you grab a doorknob, electrons jump from your hand to the knob .which conducts electricity, giving you a shock.

<h3>What is static electricity?</h3>

The imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials is known as static electricity.

The charge will persist until it can be moved away by an electric current or an electrical discharge.

when we walk on the carpet with socks our feet slide electrons off the carpet.  it leads to leaving you with a slightly negative static charge.

When you grab a doorknob electrons jump from your hand to the knob which conducts electricity giving you a shock.

Due to the static electricity jump from your hand to the knob .which conducts electricity giving you a shock.

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 150 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. It is loaded with 600
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}

v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}

v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The speed of the rocket is given the Tsiolkovsky's differential equation, whose solution is:

v (t) = v_{o} - v_{ex}\cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}

Where:

v_{o} - Initial speed of the rocket, in m/s.

v_{ex} - Exhaust gas speed, in m/s.

m_{o} - Initial total mass of the rocket, in kg.

m - Current total mass of the rocket, in kg.

Let assume that fuel is burned linearly. So that,

m(t) = m_{o} + r\cdot t

The initial total mass of the rocket is:

m_{o} = 750\,kg

The fuel consumption rate is:

r = -\frac{600\,kg}{30\,s}

r = -20\,\frac{kg}{s}

The function for the current total mass of the rocket is:

m(t) = 750\,kg - (20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t

The speed function of the rocket is:

v(t) = - 2500\,\frac{m}{s}\cdot \ln \frac{750\,kg -(20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t}{750\,kg}

The speed of the rocket at given instants are:

v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}

v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}

v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}
