Which best describes how combustion works?
2 answers:
Answer: A) It breaks and forms bonds of fuel to release thermal energy.
Explanation:
Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of molecules.
Thermal energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its temperature.
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a fuel is burnt in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water and heat.
Thus the chemical energy stored in the bonds of reactants is converted to thermal energy and heat is released in the combustion reaction.

Explanation:
1)
There are two forces acting on the rocket at the beginning:
- The force of gravity, of magnitude , in the downward direction, where
is the rocket's mass
is the acceleration of gravity
- The thrust of the motor, T, in the upward direction, of magnitude
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:
(1)
where a is the acceleration of the rocket.
Solving for a, we find the initial acceleration:
2)
When the rocket reaches an altitude of 5000 m, its acceleration has increased to
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
where
is the new mass of the rocket
Re-arranging the equation and solving for m', we find
And since the initial mass of the rocket was
This means that the mass of fuel burned is
Answer:
The pressure after passing the valve is 23,8 [Kpa] ( 0,234 atm) and the pressure drop is about 1,53 [Kpa]
Explanation:
We need to use the formula of bernoulli, in the attached image we can see the fluid throw the pipe, we also can calculate the velocity inside the pipe using the flow rate and the cross sectional area.
For this case, we don't use the elevation difference and therefore those terms can be cancelled.
When the area has reduced the velocity of the fluid is increased but there is a drop pressure through the valve.
