What factor causes atmospheric pressure

bagirrra123 [75]

Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on itself and on the surface below it.
Pressure is defined as the force acting on an object divided by the area upon witch the force is acting.

A 1000 kg rocket carrying 25 kg of fuel and oxygen rises at a velocity of 305 m/s. If all the mass of fuel and oxygen is burned

Thepotemich [5.8K]

If all the mass of fuel and oxygen is burned to form gases of combustion, the downward velocity of these gases would be 12,505 m/s.

<h3>Conservation of linear momentum</h3>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that, the total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

The downward velocity of thes gases is calculated as follows;

v1(m1 + m2) = v2(m2)

305(1000 + 25) = v2(25)

312,625 = 25v2

v2 = 312,625/25

v2 = 12,505 m/s

Thus, If all the mass of fuel and oxygen is burned to form gases of combustion, the downward velocity of these gases would be 12,505 m/s.

Electric fields up to 2.00 × 10 5 N/C have been measured inside of clouds during electrical storms. Neglect the drag force due t

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

$1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

23.4843749996 m

Yes

Explanation:

E = Electric field = $2\times 10^5\ N/C$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

m = Mass of proton= $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

q = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Acceleration is given by

$a=\dfrac{Eq}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{2\times 10^5\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

Dividing by g

$\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

The acceleration is $1.9161676647\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$ or $1.9532799844\times 10^{12}g$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{(0.1\times 3\times 10^8)^2-0^2}{2\times 1.9161676647\times 10^{13}}\\\Rightarrow s=23.4843749996\ m$

The distance is 23.4843749996 m

The gravitational field is very small compared to the electric field so the effects of gravity can be ignored.
