A 3600 kg rocket traveling at 2900 m/s is moving freely through space on a journey to the moon. The ground controllers find that

the rocket has drifted off course and that it must change direction by 11◦ if it is to hit the moon. By radio control the rocket’s engines are fired instantaneously (i.e., as a single pellet) in a direction perpendicular to that of the rocket’s motion. The gases are expelled (i.e., the pellet) at a speed of 4300 m/s (relative to the rocket). What mass of gas must be expelled to make the needed course correction? Answer in units of kg.

Answer:

m=417.24 kg

Explanation:  

Given Data

Initial mass of rocket  M = 3600 Kg

Initial velocity of rocket vi = 2900 m/s  

velocity of gas vg = 4300  m/s

Θ = 11° angle in degrees

To find

m = mass of gas  

Solution

Let m = mass of gas    

first to find Initial speed with angle given

So

Vi=vi×tanΘ...............tan angle

Vi= 2900m/s × tan (11°)

Vi=563.7 m/s

Now to find mass

m = (M ×vi ×tanΘ)/( vg + vi tanΘ)

put the values as we have already solve vi ×tanΘ

m = (3600 kg ×563.7m/s)/(4300 m/s + 563.7 m/s)

m=417.24 kg

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up
Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the cube = 6.0 kg

Consider the three cubes together as one.

M = mass of the three cubes together = 3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg

a = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

F = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N

F_{L} = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N

1. Applied research observational evidence 2. Basic research the experimental factor that changes in response to a change in the
lesya [120]

Answer:

This question is about matching each definition with its correct term. Please find the term matched with their appropriate definition below.

Explanation:

1. Empirical evidence: An empirical evidence is an observational evidence i.e an evidence gathered by observation or use of senses.

2. Dependent variable: Dependent variable is an experimental factor that changes in response to a change in the independent variable. In other words, it is dependent on the independent variable.

3. Applied research: Applied research is a type of research oriented at solving a present problem or need. It encompasses the production of products that can be sold for profit.

4. Hypothesis: A hypothesis in an experiment is a proposed explanation for a scientific problem that itself can be tested by experimentation. A hypothesis aims at providing a testable explanation to an observed problem.

5. Control: A control is a quantity in an experiment that remains unchanged or constant. It is kept the same by the experimenter for all groups in the experiment in order not to influence the outcome.

6. Basic research: Basic research is the research that expands knowledge in a particular area. It is the kind of research that aims at filling a knowledge void or satiating curiosity.

7. Independent variable: The independent variable is the experimental factor that is changed or manipulated deliberately by the scientist.

How long does water evaporation take? What factors influence it?
svetoff [14.1K]
There is no certain time on how long it takes. Because the factors will always be different and the factors heavily affect the evaporation time. Some factors include: humidity, heat, how the sun is visible (whether clouds are covering it or not)
