How can a rocket be propelled forward in space where there is no air to push against?

Physics
1 answer:
pychu [463]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In space, rockets zoom around with no air to push against. ... When a rocket shoots fuel out one end, this propels the rocket forward — no air is required. NASA says this principle is easy to observe on Earth. If you stand on a skateboard and throw a bowling ball forward, that force will push you and the skateboard back.

A certain refrigerator has a COP of 5.00. When the refrigerator is running, its power input is 500 W. A sample of water of mass
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

t=20s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must apply the first law of thermodynamics, which indicates that the energy that enters a system is the same that must come out, resulting in the following equation

For this problem we will assume that the water is in a liquid state, since it is a domestic refrigerator

q=m.cp.(T2-T1)

q=heat

m=mass of water =600g=0.6Kg

cp=

specific heat of water=4186J/kgK

T2=temperature in state  2=20°C

T1=temperature in state 1=0°C

solving:

q=(0.6)(4186)(20-0)=50232J

A refrigerator is a device that allows heat to be removed to an enclosure (Qin), by means of the input of an electrical energy (W) and the heat output (Qout), the coefficient of performance COP, allows to know the ratio between the heat removed ( Qin) and the added electrical power (W), the equation for the COP is

COP=\frac{Qin}{Win}

To solve this exercise we must know the value of the heat removed to the water (Qin)

solving for Qin

Qin=(COP)(Win)

Qin=(5)(500W)=2500W

finally we remember that the definition of power is the ratio of work over time

w=work

p=power=500w

P=\frac{W}{t} \\t=\frac{W}{P} \\t=\frac{50232}{2500} \\t=20.09s

How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave determined?
Tju [1.3M]

Before answering the question, first we have to understand a longitudinal wave.

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave in which the direction of wave propagation is parallel to the particle vibration of the medium.

In this type of wave, there will be compressions and rarefactions. Compressions are the high pressure regions where the particles of the medium are very close to each other. The rarefactions are the low pressure regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are not so close to each other.

Hence, a longitudinal wave is a series of compressions and rarefactions.

The wavelength of a longitudinal wave is defined as the distance between two successive compressions or rarefactions.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is C) by measuring the distance between adjacent rarefactions.

A current flowing through you of more than 5 ma is considered dangerous. Why do we see warnings about high voltage, rather than
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

V = 500 volts

I = 50 nA

Explanation:

We usually see 'high voltage' sign rather than 'high current' this is due to the fact that the amount of current depends upon the resistance of the body,

The relation of voltage, current and resistance is given by Ohm's law,

V = IR

I = V/R

As you can see, current and resistance are inversely related, the lower the resistance of the body, the higher will be the current flowing through the body.

What voltages are dangerous even if the skin is dry?

A dry human body has a resistance of approximately 100 kΩ and it gets reduced if the body is wet.

For a current of 5 mA, the corresponding voltage is,

V = 0.005*100,000

V = 500 volts

Therefore, for a dry human body, a voltage of 500 volts would be dangerous.

If voltage differences that are observed are about 0.5 mV, and the resistance of the skin is about 10 kΩ, what size currents are involved?

I = V/R

I = 0.0005/10,000

I = 50×10⁻⁹ A

I = 50 nA

Therefore, a current of 50 nA would be flowing through the EEG.
