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

If 20 beats are produced within a single second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves tr
zhuklara [117]

The correct choice is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

In fact, the beat frequency is given by the difference between the frequencies of the two waves:

f_B = |f_1 -f_2|

In this problem, the beat frequency is f_B=20 Hz, therefore the only pair of frequencies that gives a difference equal to 20 Hz is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

How does the distance traveled by the coin compare to its displacement after ten flips?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

To calculate displacement, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your displacement is 0. In physics, displacement is represented by Δs.
