Answer:

20,000 Ns

Explanation:

mass of exhaust gases, m = 50 kg

velocity of exhaust gases, v = 400 m/s

The momentum of a body is defined as the measurement of motion of body. mathematically, it is defined as the product of mass off the body an its velocity.

change in momentum of rocket = final momentum - initial momentum

                                                     =  m x v - 0

                                                     = 50 x 400

                                                     = 20,000 Ns

Answer:

P = 7196 [kPa]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the expression that defines the pressure depending on the height of water column.

P = dens*g*h

where:

dens = 1028 [kg/m^3]

g = 10 [m/s^2]

h = 700 [m]

Therefore:

P = 1028*10*700

P = 7196000 [Pa]

P = 7196 [kPa]

In which part of the ear is the sound wave converted into electrical impulse
Kryger [21]
The part of the ear where the sound wave converted into electrical impulse would be the cochlea. This part is the  auditory portion of the inner ear which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi
alexdok [17]
The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.

Answer:

1.84 kJ  (kilojoules)

Explanation:

A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.

If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:

Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)

Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C -  20° C)

[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]

Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ

[Note that the number is positive:  Energy is added to the system.  If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C).  The number is -1.84 kJ:  the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).

A frictionless pendulum is made with a bob of mass 19.7 kg. The bob is held at height = 0.934 meter above the bottom of its traj
Alika [10]

Answer:

265 J

Explanation:

Energy=PE+KE=mgh+ 0.5mv^{2} where KE is kinetic energy, PE is potential energy, m is the mass of an object, v is the speed, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting 19.7 Kg for mass, 0.934 for h, 2.93 for v and 9.81 for g then

Energy=19.7(9.81*0.934+0.5*2.93^{2})=265.063303\approx 265 J
