A 5.00X10^5 kg rocket is accelerating straight up. Its engines produce 1.250X10^7 N of thrust, and air resistance is 4.50X10^6 N

<span>6.20 m/s^2 The rocket is being accelerated towards the earth by gravity which has a value of 9.8 m/s^2. Given the total mass of the rocket, the gravitational drag will be 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.00 x 10^5 kg = 4.9 x 10^6 kg m/s^2 = 4.9 x 10^6 N Add in the atmospheric drag and you get 4.90 x 10^6 N + 4.50 x 10^6 N = 9.4 x 10^6 N Now subtract that total drag from the thrust available. 1.250 x 10^7 - 9.4 x 10^6 = 12.50 x 10^6 - 9.4 x 10^6 = 3.10 x 10^6 N So we have an effective thrust of 3.10 x 10^6 N working against a mass of 5.00 x 10^5 kg. We also have N which is (kg m)/s^2 and kg. The unit we wish to end up with is m/s^2 so that indicates we need to divide the thrust by the mass. So 3.10 x 10^6 (kg m)/s^2 / 5.00 x 10^5 kg = 0.62 x 10^1 m/s^2 = 6.2 m/s^2 Since we have only 3 significant figures in our data, the answer is 6.20 m/s^2</span>

A box is moved 20 m across a smooth floor by a force making a downward angle with the floor, so that there is effectively a 10 N
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

100 J

Explanation:

From the question, The work done by the forces in moving the box is given as

W = FxdcosФ+Fydcosα................... Equation 1

Where W = Work done, Fx = force acting parallel to the floor, d = distance moved by the box, Ф = angle the parallel force makes with the floor, Fy = force acting perpendicular to the floor, α = angle the perpendicular force make with the floor.

Give: Fx = 10 N, d = 20 m, Fy = 5 N, Ф = 0°, α = 90°

Substitute into equation 1

W = 10×10×cos0°+5×20×cos90°

W = 10×10×1+0

W = 100 J.

Note: The work done by the perpendicular force is zero

Hence the work done = 100 J

A point charge that is exactly q =3 mu or micro CC is at the origin. In this problem, assume that the Coulomb constant k = 8.99
Simora [160]

Answer:

(a) V1 = 8990.00 V

V2 = 8960.13 V

Explanation:

Parameters given:

q =3 mC

k = 8.99 * 10⁹ Nm²/C²

x1 = 3 m

x2 = 3.01 m

Electric potential is given as:

V = kq/r

Where

k = Coulombs constant

q = charge

r = distance

Potential at x1 is:

V1 = (8.99 * 10⁹ * 0.000003)/(3)

V1 = 8990.00V

Potential at x2 is:

V2 = (8.99 * 10⁹ * 0.003)/(3.01)

V2 = 8960.13 V

Naddik [55]

Answer:

t = (ti)ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

t = 14ln(16)/ln(2)

Solving for t

t = 14×4 = 56 seconds

Explanation:

Let Ai represent the initial amount and At represent the final amount of beryllium-11 remaining after time t

At = Ai/2^n ..... 1

Where n is the number of half-life that have passed.

n = t/half-life

Half life = 14

n = t/14

At = Ai/2^(t/14)

From equation 1.

2^n = Ai/At

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides;

nln(2) = ln(Ai/At)

n = ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

Since n = t/14

t/14 = ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

t = 14ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

Ai = 800

At = 50

t = 14ln(800/50)/ln(2)

t = 14ln(16)/ln(2)

Solving for t

t = 14×4 = 56 seconds

Let half life = ti

t = (ti)ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

garri49 [273]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The answer is 1400 J, according to my Physics teacher.

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

You need to take into account everything that is listed in the question; it's important to remember that the question is asking about the change in gravitational potential energy of the object-object-Earth system from 0s to 10s, not 0s to 20s. :)
