A rocket is continuously firing its engines as it accelerates away from Earth. For the first kilometer of its ascent, the mass o

f fuel ejected is small compared to the mass of the rocket. For this distance, which of the following indicates the changes, if any, in the kinetic energy of the rocket, the gravitational potential energy of the Earth-rocket system, and the mechanical energy of the Earth-rocket system?

Answer:

A) Increasing,  Increasing,  Increasing

Explanation:

The greater the rate of fuel ejection higher will be the kinetic energy of the rocket. As rocket is fire upward its fuel rejection rate increases and hence it's kinetic energy increases.

Gravitational potential energy,

as the rocket moves further it's r from the Earth increases. Hence the Gravitational potential energy increases as its height from the Earth increases.

Therefore,  mechanical energy of the rocket must also increase as it is sum of kinetic and potential energy.

Hence Option A is correct.

How do you think scientists figure out what they think the population will be in 2050?
laila [671]
They would most likely use statistics on the increase/decrease in population from previous decades and centuries. In addition to these statistics, they could use the birth and death rate and ultimately predict the increase within these next 30 years. They must also take climate change and other environmental factors into consideration when formulating such a bold prediction.

A disc with a mass of 1 kg moves horizontally to the right with a speed of 7 m/s on a table with negligible friction when it col
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.6 m/s

Explanation:

First you need to find the momentums of each disc by multiplying their velocities with mass.

disc 1: 7*1= 7 kg m/s

disc 2: 1*9= 9 kg m/s

Second, you need to find the total momentum of the system by adding the momentums of each sphere.

9+7= 16 kg m/s

Because momentum is conserved, this is equal to the momentum of the composite body.

Finally, to find the composite body's velocity, divide its total momentum by its mass. This is because mass*velocity=momentum

16/10=1.6

The velocity of the composite body is 1.6 m/s.

How does the end point differ from the equivalence <br>point of a titration?​
Gwar [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Equivalence point and end point are terminologies in pH titrations and they are not the same. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a <em>titration the substance</em> added slowly to a solution usually through a pippette is called titrante and the solution to which it is added is called titrand. In acid-base titrations acid is added to base or base is added to acid.the strengths of the <em>acid and base titrated</em> determines the nature of the final solution.

At equivalence point the <em>number of moles of the acid</em> will be equal to the number of moles of the base as given in the equation.  The nature of the final solution determines the <em>pH at equivalence point. </em>

<em>A pH less than 7 will be the result if the resultant is acidic and if it is basic the pH will be greater than 7. </em>In a strong base-strong acid and weak base-weak acid titration the pH at the equivalence point will be 7 indicating <em>neutral nature of the solution. </em>
