Refrigerator was what is commonly used today. We do dry foods and salt cure but that is not done on a daily basis

Answer: Refrigeration

Explanation: Food preservation is the technique of preserving food items from spoiling. It is done by preventing the growth of microorganisms and preventing the rancidity of fats.

In ancient times, the methods used for preservation of foods were drying foods which remove water and thus reduces the bacterial growth, smoking raw meats also hampers the bacterial activity and salt curing leads to osmosis and thus the bacteria dies.

The latest method is refrigeration which makes the food colder and the rate of deterioration gets slow. Bacterial action reduces with refrigeration, as bacteria cannot survive at low temperatures.

At an altitude of 5000 m the rocket's acceleration has increased to 6.9 m/s2 . What mass of fuel has it burned?
sergey [27]

1) Initial upward acceleration: 6.0 m/s^2

2) Mass of burned fuel: 0.10\cdot 10^4 kg

Explanation:

1)

There are two forces acting on the rocket at the beginning:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude F_g = mg, in the downward direction, where

m=1.9\cdot 10^4 kg is the rocket's mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

- The thrust of the motor, T, in the upward direction, of magnitude

T=3.0\cdot 10^5 N

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force on the rocket must be equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration, so we can write:

T-mg=ma (1)

where a is the acceleration of the rocket.

Solving for a, we find the initial acceleration:

a=\frac{T-mg}{m}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5-(1.9\cdot 10^4)(9.8)}{1.9\cdot 10^4}=6.0 m/s^2

2)

When the rocket reaches an altitude of 5000 m, its acceleration has increased to

a'=6.9 m/s^2

The reason for this increase is that the mass of the rocket has decreased, because the rocket has burned some fuel.

We can therefore rewrite eq.(1) as

T-m'g=m'a'

where

m' is the new mass of the rocket

Re-arranging the equation and solving for m', we find

m'=\frac{T}{g+a}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^5}{9.8+6.9}=1.8\cdot 10^4 kg

And since the initial mass of the rocket was

m=1.9 \cdot 10^4 kg

This means that the mass of fuel burned is

\Delta m = m-m'=1.9\cdot 10^4 - 1.80\cdot 10^4 = 0.10\cdot 10^4 kg

Which of the following is a fundamental quantity?
Yuki888 [10]

-- Volume . . . made out of 3 dimensions of length

-- Density . . . made out of mass, and 3 dimensions of length

-- Area . . . made out of 2 dimensions of length

-- Acceleration . . . made out of length and time

<em>Mass</em> is not made out of anything else.  It's fundamental.  A few other fundamental things are length, time, and electric charge.

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.
ycow [4]

Answer:

Reactance

Explanation:

In an AC circuit, the capacitive reactance of a capacitor is given by:

X_C = \frac{1}{2 \pi f C}

where

f is the frequency of the AC current

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance of the capacitor tells somehow the "resistance" of the capacitor to the passage of current through it. In fact:

- When the frequency of the AC current is zero (this means, we are in regime of DC current), the reactance becomes infinite, and this is true because the capacitor does not let the current pass through it)

- When the frequency of the AC current tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero, and this is true because in this case the current changes direction so fast that the capacitor has not enough time to "block" the current, so the current almost no feels the presence of the capacitor.
