you read a primary source and a secondary source that discuss the same experiment. There is a difference in the conclusion made

by these two sources. which should you trust more, and why?

You should trust the primary source more.

This is because the primary source is make its conclusion from direct observation, while the secondary source is possibly making reference to another secondary source or to another primary.

The primary source should be trusted more because it is from direct observation.

A rocket takes off from Earth and reaches a speed of 105 m/s in 18.0 s. If the exhaust speed is 1,200 m/sand the mass of fuel bu
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The initial mass of the rocket is 526.2 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Final speed = 105 m/s

Time = 18.0 s

Exhaust initial speed = 1200 m/s

Mass of burned fuel = 110 kg

We need to calculate the initial mass

The velocity change of rocket under gravity is defined as,

v=u\ ln(\dfrac{m_{i}}{m})-gt....(I)

We know that,

m=m_{i}-m_{bf}

Put the value of m in equation (I)

v=u\ ln(\dfrac{m_{i}}{m_{i}-m_{bf}})-gt

m_{i}=\dfrac{m_{bf}}{1-e^-{\dfrac{v+gt}{u}}}

m_{i}=\dfrac{110}{1- e^-{\frac{105+9.8\times18}{1200}}}

m_{i}=526.2 kg

Hence, The initial mass of the rocket is 526.2 kg.

The force required to maintain an object at a constant speed while on frictionless ice is
lara [203]
If an object is on a frictionless surface, to keep it at a constant velocity you can’t apply any force because otherwise, the object will accelerate, and the velocity will change.

Why is gravity so weird? .
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Why is gravity so weird? No force is more familiar than gravity — it's what keeps our feet on the ground, after all. And Einstein's theory of general relativity gives a mathematical formulation for gravity, describing it as a “warping” of space.

The latent heat of fusion for Aluminium is 3.97 x 105. How much energy would be required to melt 0.75 kg of it?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

E = 2.9775\times10^5 J

Explanation:

Given:  The latent heat of fusion for Aluminum is L = 3.97\times10^5  J/Kg

mass to be malted m = 0.75 Kg

Energy require to melt E = mL

E = 3.97\times10^5\times0.75 = 2.9775\times10^5 J

Therefore, energy required to melt 0.75 Kg aluminum

E = 2.9775\times10^5 J

5. An acrobat, starting from rest, swings freely on a trapeze of
34kurt

The energy conservation and trigonometry we can find the results for the questions about the movement of the acrobat are;

     a) The maximum speed is v = 4.89 m / s

     b) The maximum height is h = 1.22 m

The energy conservation is one of the most fundamental principles of physics, stable that if there are no friction forces the mechanistic energy remains constant. Mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the potential energies.

               Em = K + U

Let's write the energy in two points.

Starting point. Highest part of the oscillation

            Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower part of the movement

            Em_f = K = ½ m v²

Energy is conserved.

            Emo = Em_f  

            m g h = ½ m v²

            v² = 2 gh

Let's use trigonometry to find the height, see attached.

         h = L - L cos θ

         h = L (1- cos θ)

They indicate that the initial angle is tea = 48º and the length is L = 3.7 m, let's calculate.

         h = 3.7 (1- cos 48)

          h = 1.22 m

this  is the maximum height of the movement.

Let's calculate the velocity.  

          v= \sqrt{2 \ 9.8 \ 1.22}  

          v = 4.89 m / s

In conclusion using the conservation of energy and trigonometry we can find the results for the questions about the movement of the acrobat are;

     a) The maximum speed is v = 4.89 m / s

     b) The maximum height is h = 1.22 m
