Answer:

Time = 40 s

It will take the spaceship 40s to coast that distance.

Explanation:

Using the impulse momentum equation;

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = m(∆v) ........1

Given;

Force F = 1200kN

time of action t = 20s

Mass of spaceship m = 8.0×10^4 kg

∆v = change in velocity

Substituting the values into equation 1;

1200kN × 20s =8.0×10^4 kg × ∆v

∆v = 1200000×20/80000

∆v = 300 m/s

Since it was initially at rest, V0 = 0

Final velocity V2 = 300 + 0

V2 = 300m/s

Time To travel 12 km,

Time = distance/speed

Distance = 12 km = 12000m

Speed = 300m/s

Time = 12000/300

Time = 40 s

It will take the spaceship 40s to coast that distance.

How can humidity be used to predict if it is going to rain?
postnew [5]
1. Humidity cannot be used to predict rain.
2. I'm pretty sure it's weather but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe like 89% sure.

3. Tempurature doesn't affect humidity.

4. Not sure but I think its the 3rd one

What force is needed to accelerate an object 5 m/s2 if the object has a mass of 10 kg?
Helga [31]
We know, F = m * a
F = 10 * 5
F = 50 N

In short, Your Answer would be 50 Newtons

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The <u>Fruit juice </u> should be put in the cooler, because <u>it has the greatest heat capacity</u> and will therefore, <u>absorb the most heat for each degree it increases in temperature.</u>

Explanation:

in order to understand the answer above we need to know what specific heat capacity is

       Specific heat capacity  can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree  

     Looking at the specific heat of each substance suggested we see that the fruit juice has a higher specific heat capacity than others this is because it contains a higher amount of water , generally liquid states of substances have a higher specific heat capacity than other states. The specific heat capacity of fruit juice being the highest among the suggested substances means that it can absorb  more heat for each degree temperature of refrigerator.
