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

A 1700kg rhino charges at a speed of 50.0km/h. what average force is needed to bring the rhino to a stop in 0.50s?
uranmaximum [27]
From 50km/h to 0km/h in 0.5s we need next acceleration:
First we convert km/h in m/s:
50km/h = 50*1000/3600=13.8888 m/s
a = v/t = 13.88888/0.5 = 27.77777 m/s^2

Now we use Newton's law:

F=m*a

F=1700*27.7777 = 47222N

What is the uncertainty of the position of the bacterium? express your answer with the appropriate units?
lbvjy [14]
For two un-related quantities, the Heisenberg uncertainty equations holds: the prduct of the two uncertainty quantities is greater than \hbar/2
Example of unrelated quantities are position and momentum, energy and time. 
Thus
\Delta x*\Delta p  \ \textgreater \ \hbar/2
Knowing the speed of the bacteria the uncertainty in its position is
\Delta x \ \textgreater \ \hbar/(2 \Delta p) =\hbar/(2mv)

Which two characteristics increase the strength of the gravitational force
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The answer is A and C.

Explanation:

Only two factors are relevant when dealing with the gravitational force between two objects - their mass and their distance apart from one another. Gravity's force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The two speakers at S1 and S2 are adjusted so that the observer at O hears an intensity of 6 W/m² when either S1 or S2 is sounde
Zanzabum

Answer:

The minimum frequency is 702.22 Hz

Explanation:

The two speakers are adjusted as attached in the figure. From the given data we know that

S_1 S_2=3m

S_1 O=4m

By Pythagoras theorem

                                 S_2O=\sqrt{(S_1S_2)^2+(S_1O)^2}\\S_2O=\sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2}\\S_2O=\sqrt{9+16}\\S_2O=\sqrt{25}\\S_2O=5m

Now

The intensity at O when both speakers are on is given by

I=4I_1 cos^2(\pi \frac{\delta}{\lambda})

Here

  • I is the intensity at O when both speakers are on which is given as 6 W/m^2
  • I1 is the intensity of one speaker on which is 6  W/m^2
  • δ is the Path difference which is given as

                                           \delta=S_2O-S_1O\\\delta=5-4\\\delta=1 m

  • λ is wavelength which is given as

                                             \lambda=\frac{v}{f}

      Here

              v is the speed of sound which is 320 m/s.

              f is the frequency of the sound which is to be calculated.

                                  16=4\times 6 \times cos^2(\pi \frac{1 \times f}{320})\\16/24= cos^2(\pi \frac{1f}{320})\\0.667= cos^2(\pi \frac{f}{320})\\cos(\pi \frac{f}{320})=\pm0.8165\\\pi \frac{f}{320}=\frac{7 \pi}{36}+2k\pi \\ \frac{f}{320}=\frac{7 }{36}+2k \\\\ {f}=320 \times (\frac{7 }{36}+2k )

where k=0,1,2

for minimum frequency f_1, k=1

                                  {f}=320 \times (\frac{7 }{36}+2 \times 1 )\\\\{f}=320 \times (\frac{79 }{36} )\\\\ f=702.22 Hz

So the minimum frequency is 702.22 Hz
