The motivation behind why the vertical stature of the stairs is the main thing measured is that it uncovers to us how much gravity is up against the individual and their weight, so we require this data to decide how much vitality and power we have to get up the stairs.

The kinetic energy of a rocket is increased by a factor of eight after its engines are fired, whereas its total mass is reduced
Rudik [331]

The momentum increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by rewriting the momentum of the rocket in terms of the kinetic energy and the mass.

The kinetic energy of the rocket is:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (1)

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

The momentum of the rocket is

p=mv (2)

From eq.(1) we get

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}

and substituting into (2),

p=\sqrt{2mK}

Now in this problem we have:

- The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by a factor 8:

K' = 8K

- The mass is reduced by half:

m'=\frac{m}{2}

Substituting, we find the new momentum:

p'=\sqrt{2(\frac{m}{2}(8K)}=\sqrt{4(2mK)}=2\sqrt{2mK}=2p

So, the momentum increases by a factor of 2.

A car traveling at 14 m/s accelerates at 3.5 m/s² for 5 seconds. How much distance does it travel during that time?​
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 113.75

Explanation:

You know

acceleration = a = 3.5 m/s²

time = t = 5 seconds

initial velocity = u = 14 m/s

Unknown is distance = s = ?

Use equation: s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²

Substitute all the known values inside the equation:

s = (14*5) + 0.5 * 3.5 * 5²

s = 70 + 43.75 = 113.75 m

The car travels 113.75 metres.

A backpack weighs 8.2 Newtons and has a mass of 5 kilograms on the moon what is the strength of gravity on the moon
lions [1.4K]

i dont get it so much but

The weight of the bag pack is 8.2 N. g = 1.64 m/s2. Hence, the acceleration due to gravity on moon is 1.64 m/s2. sooo? is it right
