F-free = m*g - F_air = m*a

F_air = 1.2 * m

a= (105 kg * 9.8 m.s^2 - 5*105) / 105 kg

a = 9.3 m/s

Hope this helps

a rocket with a lift of mass 20 000kg is blasted upwards with an initial acceleration of 5.0m/s². calculate the initial thurst(f
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Mass of the rocket, m = 20,000 kg Initial acceleration, a = 5 m/s Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s Using Newton’s second law of motion, the net force (thrust) acting on the rocket is given by the relation: F – mg = ma F = m ( g + a ) = 20000 × (10 + 5)

11. A hard-rubber or plastic comb rubbed against wool can often be shown to have a static charge. Why does a metal comb not read
Aneli [31]
A hard rubber plastic comb is made out of rubber so it doesn't conduct electricity. This means that it is an insulator. Unlike a conductor (a metal comb), an insulator keeps the electrons at the place of where it was rubbed instead of equally distributing them around the surface of the comb.

In a metal comb, the charges within the comb move around while in the rubber comb they can't move around because in an insulator, it doesn't allow the movement of charges.

A ball is released from rest at a height of 10 m and falls freely to the
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is found using this formula:

  • KE = 1/2mv²
  • where KE = kinetic energy (J), m = mass (kg), and v = velocity (m/s)

We can see that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, meaning that if the speed was increased by 4 times, then the kinetic energy would get increased by a factor of 16.

The velocity just before the ball hits the ground can be found by the equation:

  • √(2gh)

Let's substitute h = 10 m and h = 40 m into this formula.

  • √(2g(10))
  • √(2g(40))

We can see that the velocity increases by a factor of 4 (10 m → 40 m).

Therefore, this means that the kinetic energy would also be increased by a factor of (4)² = 16. Thus, the answer is D) The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.

If a storm is 7. 5 kilometers away, how much time is expected between observations of lightning and thunder? Round your answer t
Rashid [163]

The expected time period between the observations of lightning and thunder would be 22.5 s.

How to calculate the time of sound waves?

The time taken by sound to reach a certain position can be calculated by the speed formula,

S = \dfrac dt

Where,

S - speed = 0.343 km/s

d - distance = 7.5 km

t - time = ?

Put the values in the formula,

0.343 = \dfrac {7.5} t\\\\t = \dfrac {0.343}{7.5}\\\\t = 22.5

Therefore, the expected time period between the observations of lightning and thunder would be 22.5 s.

I NEED HELP PLZ. can some one explain partial variation ​
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Partial Variation is a relation that is of the form y = mx+b. The graph of y = mx+b is a straight line with the slope of m and a y-intercept of b. ... The relation y = mx +b represents partial variation because the value of y varies partially with the value of x.
