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

What time of day does the full moon rise? (Estimate the hour: 1 pm? 2pm? etc. and explain your answer.)
AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

1. The full Moon rises just after the Sun sets. So lets assume the Sun sets at 06:00 pm then the Moon will rise at 06:00 pm. This happens because of the position of Moon with respect to Sun. It is opposite to the Sun as seen from Earth.

2. Lets assume that Sun rise will happen at 06:00 am so Moon will be visible till 06:00 am and it will reach highest point in the Sky at 00:00 am that is midnight. This is the time when it will cross the meridian line.

3. No, we can never see the Sun going through phases no matter where we are. The Moon shows us phases because it doesn't have its own light and reflects light of the Sun. But Sun is a star and has it own light. Sun will always be seen like a full circle.

How to find a planet’s gravitational field strength using its radius?
grin007 [14]

The gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational field strength is the measure of gravitational force acting on any object placed on the surface of the planet. Generally, the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

So the gravitational field strength will be equal to the gravitational force acting on the object.

The formula for gravitational field strength is

g = \frac{F}{m}

Here g is the gravitational field strength, m is the mass of the object placed on the surface and F is the gravitational force acting on the object.

Since, the mass of any object placed on the surface of earth will be negligible compared to the mass of Earth, so the mass of the object is considered as 1 kg.

Then the g = F

And F =\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

Here G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of Earth and m is the mass of the object placed on the surface, while r is the radius of the Earth.

g = F = \frac{6 \times 10^{24} \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11}  \times 1}{(6.6 \times 10^{6}) ^{2} }

g = 0.977 \times 10^1= 9.77\ N

So, the gravitational field strength is approximately equal to 10 N.

Why will a sheet of paper fall slower than one that is crumbled into a ball

It’s coming in contact with more air molecules than I would if it was in a ball because there is less surface area
