Please help :/ The same motor is used in rockets with different masses. The rockets have different accelerations. According to N
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.

Explanation:

1. Newton's second law of motion states;

         F = ma

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.

2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)

Slope = \frac{a}{F}

⇒ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{a}{F}

Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

A sample of 5.2 mg  decays to .65 mg or to 1/8 of its original amount.

1/8 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 3 half-lives.

3 * 30.07 = 90 yrs for 5.2 mg to decay to .65 mg

You can get these other numbers similarly:

5.2 / .0102 = 510  requires about 9  half-lives which is 30 * 9 = 270 yrs

If the magnitude of the magnetic force on a proton is F when it is moving at 18.0 ∘ with respect to the field, what is the magni
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The force when θ = 33° is 1.7625 times of the force when θ = 18°

Explanation:

The force on a moving charge through a magnetic field is given by

F = qvB sin θ

q = charge of the moving particle

v = Velocity of the moving charge

B = Magnetic field strength

θ = angle between the magnetic field and the velocity (direction of the motion) of the moving charge

Because qvB are all constant, we can call the expression K.

F = K sinθ

when θ = 18°,

F = K sin 18° = 0.309K

when θ = 33°, let the force be F₁

F₁ = K sin 33° = 0.5446K

(F₁/F) = (0.5446K/0.309K) = 1.7625

F₁ = 1.7625 F

Hope this Helps!!!
