Robert has just bought a new model roket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims

that it will maintain a constant thrust of 11.4 N until the engine is used up. Robert launches the rocket on a windless day, so that it travels straight up, and uses his laser range-finder to measure that the height of the rocket when the engine cuts off is 19.0 m. He also measures the rocket's peak height, which is 23.5 m. If the rocket has a mass of 0.613 kg, how much work is done by the drag force on the rocket during its ascent?

At the peak of its flight ALL the energy given to the rocket is potential energy (its velocity is zero) and that is calculated as mgh So Energy given to rocket = mgh Energy expended by engine = F x D (D= height where engine stops) Energy 'lost' to drag is the difference between the two values. please if this helped mark it as the brainiest answer.

If a woman weighs 125 lb, her mass expressed in kilograms is x kg, where x is
adelina 88 [10]
The first thing you should know to solve this problem is the conversion of pounds to kilograms:
 1lb = 0.45 Kg
 We can solve this problem by a simple rule of three
 1lb ---> 0.45Kg
 125lb ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((125) / (1)) * (0.45) = 56.25 Kg.
 Answer
 her mass expressed in kilograms is 56.25 Kg.

Find the wavelength (in nm) of a 2.52 eV photon. a. 492.34127 nm.b. 585.88611 nm.c. 541.5754 nm.d. 418.49008 nm.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of photon, E = 2.52 eV

We need to find the wavelength of the photon in nm. The formula for the energy of a photon is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{2.52\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\\=4.93\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\=493\ nm

The nearest option is a) i.e. 492.34127 nm.

_____ involves reviewing the project charter, requirements documents, and organizational process assets to create a scope statem
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The answer is Defining scope

Explanation:

Defining scope of a project is simply drawing the borders of the project. Therefore, defining scope involves reviewing the scope management plan, project charter, requirements documents, and organizational process assets to create a scope statement, adding more information as requirements are developed.

Using 6400 km as the radius of Earth, calculate how high above Earth’s surface you would have to be in order to weigh 1/16th of
FrozenT [24]
Gravity obeys the inverse square law.  At 6400 km above the center of the Earth (Earth's surface) you weigh x.  Twice that reduces your weight to 1/4th.  Four times that height reduces your weight to 1/16th.  4 times 6400 km is 25,600 km.  But that is above the center of the earth, and the question requests the height above the surface, so we deduct 6400 km to arrive at our final answer:  19,200 km.

Incidentally, it doesn't exactly work the opposite way.  At the center of the Earth the mass would be equally distributed around you, and you would therefore be weightless.
