Suppose a rocket ship in deep space moves with constant acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s2, which gives the illusion of normal gravi

ty during the flight. (a) If it starts from rest, how long will it take to acquire a speed one-tenth that of light, which travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s? (b) How far will it travel in so doing?

(a).
It starts from rest, and its speed increases by 9.8 m/s every second.
One tenth the speed of light is (1/10) (3 x 10⁸ m/s) = 3 x 10⁷ m/s .
To reach that speed takes (3 x 10⁷ m/s) / (9.8 m/s²) = <u>3,061,224 seconds</u> .
That's about 35 days and 10 hours.

(b).
Distance traveled = (average speed) x (time of travel)
Average speed = (1/2) of (1/10 the speed of light) = 1.5 x 10⁷ m/s .
Time of travel is the answer to part (a) above.
Distance traveled = (1.5 x 10⁷ m/s) x (3,061,224 sec) = <u>4.59 x 10¹³ meters</u>
That's 45.9 billion kilometers.
That's 28.5 billion miles.
That's about 6.2 times the farthest distance that Pluto ever gets from the Sun.

If the weight of a submerged object is equal to the buoyant force, what net force acts upon the object?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The weight is acting downwards where as the buoyant force acting upwards (opposite) direction with equal amount of force. so the opposite forces cancel out each other (because of the force amount being equal) and no net force is acting on the object.

how does spatial pattern of heights illustrate the relationship between temperature density and the rate of vertical pressure ch
Anika [276]

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.

Generally, the relationship between temperature, density and rate of vertical pressure is given as;

\rho = \frac{PM}{RT}

\frac{dP}{dz} = -\rho g\\\\

where;

  • <em>ρ is density</em>
  • <em>T is temperature</em>
  • <em>dP is rate of change of vertical  pressure</em>

Thus, from the formula above, we can conclude the following relationship between temperature, density and the rate of vertical pressure change in spatial pattern of heights.

The rate of change of vertical pressure is directly proportional to density and also directly proportional to temperature.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The very high voltage needed to create a spark across the spark plug is produced at the  transformer's secondary winding. <span>The secondary coil is engulfed by a powerful and changing magnetic field. This field induces a current in the coils -- a very high-voltage current.</span>

A sample of chloroform is found to contain 12.0 g of carbon, 106.4 g of chlorine, and 1.01 g of hydrogen. If a second sample of
GREYUIT [131]

Given:

Sample 1:

Chloroform is CHCl_{3}

12 g Carbon

1.01 g Hydrogen

106.4 g Cl

Sample 2:

30.0 g of Carbon

Solution:

mass of chloroform from sample 1:

12 + 1.01 +106.4 =119.41 g

Now, for the total mass of chloroform in sample 2:

mass of chloroform \times\frac{given mass of carbon}{mass of carbon atom}

mass of chloroform = 119.41 \times\frac{30}{12} = 298.53 g
