For years, space travel was believed to be impossible because there was nothing there Rockets could push off in space in order t

o provide the propulsion necessary to accelerate this inability to provide propulsion is because..
a) a space is a void of air so the rockets have nothing to push off.
b) gravity is absent in space.

c)a space is a void of wit so there is no air resistance in space.

d) nonsense! rockets do accelerate in space and have been able to do so for a long time.

Because rockets do accelerate in space and have been able to do so for a long time.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

A rocket is made to reach the sky and its required destination by the burning of fuels in the rocket. So there is no need of any other external forces to propel them in space. As per Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces will help the rockets to escape the orbit of earth.

And then the remaining energy required by the rocket to travel in space will be obtained from the burning of fuels in the compartments. This burning of fuels in respective compartments will propel the rockets in space. So it is a complete myth that space travel was impossible before because of inability to provide propulsion in space.

If Jason is playing football and Jason runs with the football west at a speed of 40.0 m/s and then turns and goes north at 5.0 m
Aliun [14]

The resultant velocity is 40.3 m/s at 7.1 degrees north of west

Explanation:

Jason's motion is divided into two parts.

At first, he moves west with a speed of

v_x = 40.0 m/s

Then, he moves north with a speed of

v_y = 5.0 m/s

The two velocities are at right angle, so they form the sides of a right triangle, and the magnitude of the resultant velocity can be calculated using Pythagorean's theorem:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{40.0^2+5.0^2}=40.3 m/s

And the direction can be found by using

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{5.0}{40.0})=7.1^{\circ}

So, 7.1 degrees north of west.

Unpolarized light is incident on a series of polarizing disks. We have three polarizers A, B and C have transmission axes that m
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula for intensity of light after transmission for unpolarised light is

I₀ / 2 , We shall take up 180 degree disk first .

For second transmission , the formula is

I = I₀ Cos²θ , θ is angle between axis of polarizer and axis of vibration.

If we take up 30 degree polariser

I = I₀ / 2  Cos²( 180 - 30 )

= .375 I₀

For third transmission

I_ final = .375 I₀  x cos( 90 - 30 )

= .1875  I₀

Final/I₀ = .1875

A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 5.0 m / s² and travels a distance of 1.0 km. What is the speed value of this car?
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

100 m/s

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 1 km to m. This can be obtained as follow:

1 km = 1000 m

Finally, we shall determine the final velocity of the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 5.0 m/s²

Distance (s) = 1000 m

Final velocity (v) =?

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + (2 × 5 × 1000)

v² = 0 + 10000

v² = 10000

Take the square root of both side

v = √10000

v = 100 m/s

Therefore, the speed value of the car is 100 m/s.

While unrealistic, we will examine the forces on a leg when one falls from a height by approximating the leg as a uniform cylind
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Part A: 7.75 m/s

Part B: 2330.8 kN

Part C: 24.03 kN

Part D: 4.8 kN

Part E: 1.7\times 10^{9} Dyn/cm^{2}

Part F: Option D

Bending his legs increases the time over which the ground applies force, thus decreasing the force applied by the ground.

Explanation:

<u>Part A </u>

From the fundamental kinematic equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2gh where v is the velocity of the man just before hitting the ground, g is acceleration due to gravity, u is initial velocity, h is the height.

Since the initial velocity is zero hence

v^{2}=2gh

v=\sqrt 2gh

Substituting 10 m/s2 for g and 3 m for h we obtain

v=\sqrt 2\times 10\times 3 =\sqrt 60= 7.745967\approx 7.75 m/s

<u>Part B </u>

Force exerted by the leg is given by

F=PA where P is pressure, F is force, A is the cross-section of the bone

A=\frac {\pi d^{2}}{4}

Substituting 2.3 cm which is equivalent to 0.023m for d and 1.7\times10^{8} N/m2 for P we obtain the force as

F=PA=1.7\times10^{8}*\frac {\pi (0.023)^{2}}{4}= 2330818.276\approx 2330.8 kN

<u>Part C </u>

The fundamental kinematic equation is part (a) can also be written as

v^{2}=u^{2}+2a\triangle x and making a the subject then

a=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2\triangle x} where a is acceleration and \triangle x is the change in length

Substituting the value obtained in part a, 7.75 m/s for v, u is zero and 1cm which is equivalent to 0.01 m for \triangle x then  

a=\frac {7.75^{2}-0^{2}}{2\times 0.01}= 3003.125 m/s^{2}

Force exerted on the man is given by

F=ma=80\times 3003.125= 240250 N\approx 24.03 kN

<u>Part D </u>

The fundamental kinematic equation is part (a) can also be written as

v^{2}=u^{2}+2a\triangle h and making a the subject then

a=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2\triangle h} where a is acceleration and \triangle h is the change in height

Also, force exerted on the man is given by F=ma=m\times \frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2\triangle h}

Substituting 80 Kg for m, 50 cm which is equivalent to 0.5m for \triangle h and other values as used in part c

F=ma=m\times \frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2\triangle h}=80\times \frac {7.75^{2}-0^{2}}{2\times 0.5}= 4805 N\approx 4.8 kN

<u>Part E </u>

P=1.7\times 10^{8}=1.7\times 10^{8}\times (\frac {10^{5} Dyn}{10^{4} cm^{2}}=1.7\times 10^{9} Dyn/cm^{2}

Part F

Bending his legs increases the time over which the ground applies force, thus decreasing the force applied by the ground
