<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>

( Image is 6 C carbon with the numbers 12.011 under it ) According to the image, the atomic mass of carbon is 12.011. How is the
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

B. By adding the number of protons and the number of neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. An atom is made up of three fundamental particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons.

The protons and neutrons occupy a central region in an atom known as the nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged and mass concentrated.

If we compare the relative masses of the subatomic particles, the masses of protons and neutrons would be 1 and that of an electron would be 1/1840. This shows that the mass of electrons are negligible.

In order to ascertain atomic mass, we therefore add the number of protons and neutrons together. This is how we arrive at 12.011 as the value of the atomic mass of C and for other elements.

The atomic mass is also known as the mass number.

A 45 N girl sits on a bench 0.6 meters off the ground. How much work is done on the bench?
ycow [4]

Answer: 27 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on the bench over a distance. it is measured in joules.

Workdone = force x distance

= 45 N x 0.6 metres

= 27 joules

Thus, 27 joules of work is done on the bench.

"Compared to infrared radiation, does ultraviolet radiation have longer or shorter wavelengths? Does ultraviolet radiation have
balu736 [363]

Answer:Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than infrared radiation.

Explanation: Electromagnetic radiation radiations which have both electrical and magnetic properties,they can be transmitted through space or through a medium.

It includes Gamma radiation, infra-red, visible light, Ultraviolet radiation etc they occur with different wavelength, the lower the wavelength the higher the Energy dissipated per photon. According to their order of decreasing wavelength and increased energy they are classified as follows.

RADIO WAVE, MICRO WAVE, INFRA-RED, VISIBLE LIGHT, ULTRAVIOLET RAY, X-RAY, GAMMA RAYS.
