Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Efficiency = Power output / Power input × 100 %

To calculate efficiency we need to find power output of electric pump.

We can use,

Work done = Energy change

Work done per second = Energy change per second

Work done per second = Power

Therefore, Power = Energy change per second

                              = Change in potential energy of water per second

                              =mgh / t

                              = 200× 10×6 / 10

                              = 1200 W = 1.2 kW

Now use the first equation to find efficiency,

Efficiency = \frac{1.2}{1.5} × 100%

                = 80 %

A test rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y = 0 m), at time t = 0.0 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
The important thing to note here is the direction of motion of the test rocket. Since it mentions that the rocket travels vertically upwards, then this motion can be applied to rectilinear equations that are derived from Newton's Laws of Motions.These useful equations are:

y = v₁t + 1/2 at²
a = (v₂-v₁)/t

where
y is the vertical distance travelled
v₁ is the initial velocity
v₂ is the final velocity
t is the time 
a is the acceleration

When a test rocket is launched, there is an initial velocity in order to launch it to the sky. However, it would gradually reach terminal velocity in the solar system. At this point, the final velocity is equal to 0. So, v₂ = 0. Let's solve the second equation first.

a = (v₂-v₁)/t
a = (0-30)/t
a = -30/t

Let's substitute a to the first equation:
y = v₁t + 1/2 at²
49 = 30t + 1/2 (-30/t)t²
49 = 30t -15t
49 = 15 t
t = 49/15
t = 3.27 seconds

5. The force of gravity acting on the object is object’s ______________.
Dima020 [189]

I think it's mass...

The mass of an object refers to the amount of matter that is contained by the object; the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting upon that object. Mass is related to how much stuff is there and weight is related to the pull of the Earth (or any other planet) upon that stuff.

Explain how an iron needle can become magnetized...
Yanka [14]

Answer:

If a piece of iron is brought near a permanent magnet, the electrons within the atoms in the iron orient their spins to match the magnetic field force produced by the permanent magnet, and the iron becomes “magnetized.”
