Suppose we repeat the experiment from the video, but this time we use a rocket three times as massive as the one in the video, a

nd in place of water we use a fluid that is twice as massive (dense) as water. If the new fluid leaves the rocket at the same speed as the water in the video, what will be the ratio of the horizontal speed of our rocket to the horizontal speed of the rocket in the video after all the fluid has left the rocket?

Answer:

2/3

Explanation:

It is important to bear in mind that momentum is generated by the fluid. Momentum is proportional to the mass and velocity, therefore increasing the mass(density) of the liquid by a factor of 2, while the velocity is constant, increases the momentum of fluid (and rocket) by 2. For any closed system, the momentum is conserved. With that in mind, the momentum of the fluid is equal to but opposite in direction to the momentum of the rocket. Velocity of the rocket given by v=p/m (Where p=momentum of the rocket initially and m is its initial mass). The mass of the rocket increases 3 times. So....

Initially:

vi=p/m

Now:

vf=2p/3m

<h3>The ratio is given by:</h3>

vf:vi = 2p/3m:p/m

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1200 kg automobile moving at 18 m/s .
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

194,400 joules of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Remember that to calculate the Kinetic energy you need to use the next formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2

We know that Mass= 1200 kg and velocity is 18m/s, so we insert those values into the formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2\\Ke=\frac{1}{2}1200kg*(18m/s)^2\\Ke=194,400 joules

So the kinetic energy of a car moving at 18m/s with a mass of 1200 kg would be 194,400 joules.

Earth has a mass of 5,970,000 how would scientists express this in a number scientific notation
Kazeer [188]

Taking into account the definition of Scientific notation, the correct representation of 5,970,000 in scientific notation is 5.97×10⁶.

<h3>Definition of scientific notation</h3>

Scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base 10.

The numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

  • a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
  • n is a whole number, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the point decimal is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

<h3>This case</h3>

In this case, to write the number 5,970,000 in scientific notation, the following steps are performed:

  • The decimal point is moved to the left as many spaces until it reaches the right of the first digit. This number will be the value of a in the previous expression. Then a = 5.97
  • The base 10 is written with the exponent equal to the number of spaces that the decimal point moves. This is a positive number because the decimal point is shifted to the left, and it will have a value of n = 6.

Finally, the correct representation of 5,970,000 in scientific notation is 5.97×10⁶.

What forces shape the stars in galaxies? (Astronomy question, but didn't fit into any categories) PLEASE 
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Force of gravity

Explanation:

when the force of gravity pulls large gas clouds and dust together, the concentrated gas clouds and dust collapse under the force of gravity forming stars.

There are many galaxies out there in the universe, each galaxy has its own solar systems, stars, and collection of gas and dust. We (earth) belong to the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy got this name from the Romans. They called in 'via lactea', which directly translates to 'road of milk' because of the milky patch they saw at night.

(A) how much work is done when you push a crate horizontally with 100 N across a 10-m factory floor?
Mila [183]

Answer:

A) 1000 joules

Explanation:

In general work is given by the equation:

W=\intop_{a}^{b}\overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{s} (1)

A) With \overrightarrow{s} the displacement and \overrightarrow{F} the force applied, because the force and the displacement are parallel (the crate is pushed horizontally) \overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{s} is simply F\,ds, and because the path is a straight line and the force is constant work is:

W=FS (2),

W=(100)(10)=1000\,J

B) The work-energy theorem says that the total work on a body is equal to the change on kinetic energy:

W_{tot}=\varDelta K (3)

The total work on the crate is the work done by the push and plus the work of the friction W_{tot}=W + W_{f} (4) , as (A) because forces are parallel to the displacement W= FS (5) and W_{f}=-fS (6), the due friction always has negative sign because is opposite to the displacement, using (6), (5) and (4) on (3):

FS-fS=\varDelta K (3)

1000-(70)(10)=300\,J

C) The energy is lost by friction, so the amount of energy turned into heat is the work the friction does:

Q=fS=(70)(100)=700\,J (3)
