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

How do you find distance from average velocity and time
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Calculate the total distance travelled by the object - its motion is represented by the velocity-time graph below.

Here, the distance travelled can be found by calculating the total area of the shaded sections below the line.

½ × base × height.

½ × 4 × 8 = 16 m 2

(10 – 4) × 8 = 48 m 2

What is the best description of a mechanical wave?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

What is the difference between the formation of an ionic bond and formation of a covalent bond?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Answer to the question:

Explanation:

Differences between ionic bond and covalent bond:

The ionic bond occurs between two different atoms (metallic and non-metallic), while the covalent bond occurs between two equal atoms (non-metallic).

In the covalent bond there is an electron compartment, while in the ionic bond there is an electron transfer.

Ionic bonds have a high melting and boiling point, while covalent bonds usually have a low point.
