The final velocity of the rocket is 77.5 m/s in the direction of motion

Explanation:

The given in the problem is:

1. The rocket travels 600 m

2. It starts from rest

3. It is being accelerated uniformly at rate 5 m/s²

We need to find the final velocity

We can use this rule to solve the problem

→ v² = u² + 2 a s

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, s is the distance

and a is the acceleration

→ u = 0 m/s , a = 5 m/s² , s = 600 m

Substitute these values in the rule above

→ v² = (0)² + 2 (5)(600)

→ v² = 6000

Take √ for both sides

→ v = 77.5 m/s in the direction of motion

The final velocity of the rocket is 77.5 m/s in the direction of motion

When a cup is placed on a table, which force prevents the cup from falling to the ground?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B. normal force

Explanation:

Because there is no frictional or resistance force. However gravitational force is applied downroad from the center of the cup thus the contact force that is perpendicular to the surface that an object contacts which is the normal force exerted upward from the table that prevents an object from falling.

A 60kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the

Fittoniya [83]

a) 4 forces

b) 186 N

c) 246 N

Explanation:

Let's count the forces acting on the bicylist:

1) Weight ( $W=mg$ ): this is the gravitational force exerted on the bicyclist by the Earth, which pulls the bicyclist towards the Earth's centre; so, this force acts downward (m = mass of the bicyclist, g = acceleration due to gravity)

2) Normal reaction (N): this is the reaction force exerted by the road on the bicyclist. This force acts vertically upward, and it balances the weight, so its magnitude is equal to the weight of the bicyclist, and its direction is opposite

3) Applied force ( $F_A$ ): this is the force exerted by the bicylicist to push the bike forward. Its direction is forward

4) Air drag ( $R$ ): this is the force exerted by the air on the bicyclist and resisting the motion of the bike; its direction is opposite to the motion of the bike, so it is in the backward direction

So, we have 4 forces in total.

Here we can find the net force on the bicyclist by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

$F_{net}$ is the net force

m is the mass of the body

a is its acceleration

In this problem we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

$a=3.1 m/s^2$ is its acceleration

Substituting, we find the net force on the bicyclist:

$F_{net}=(60)(3.1)=186 N$

We can write the net force acting on the bicyclist in the horizontal direction as the resultant of the two forces acting along this direction, so:

$F_{net}=F_a-R$

where:

$F_{net}$ is the net force

$F_a$ is the applied force (forward)

$R$ is the air drag (backward)

In this problem we have:

$F_{net}=186 N$ is the net force (found in part b)

$R=60 N$ is the magnitude of the air drag

Solving for $F_a$ , we find the force produced by the bicyclist while pedaling:

$F_a=F_{net}+R=186+60=246 N$

How can a small spark start a huge explosion? using electric forces and molecules

OLga [1]

Answer:

Small sparks can lead to huge explosion if they are left unattended.

Explanation:

Small sparks are not harmful but if these sparks happen near some hazardous material or object then it could lead to heavy explosion. If there is some chemical substance near the spark or there are magnetic lines which can explode the spark then these minor sparks could result in heavy disastrous explosion.

Resistor 1 has a resistance of 10 N and

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Resistance 2.

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

$V = IR$

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.
I represents current measured in amperes.
R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Note: Voltage is the same as potential difference.

Given the following data;

Resistance 1 = 10 Ohms

Current 1 = 3 Amperes

Potential difference 1 = current * resistance

Potential difference 1 = 3 * 10

Potential difference 1 = 30 V

To find the potential difference in 2;

Resistance 2 = 5 Ohms

Current 2 = 10 Amperes

Potential difference 2 = 10 * 5

Potential difference 2 = 50 V

Therefore, Resistance 2 has greater potential difference.
