A) True

Mechanical waves need a medium to travel.

B) False.

Mechanical waves need a medium to travel. So they can not travel in empty space.

C) False

Sound is a mechanical wave since it needs a medium to travel. light wave is electromagnetic wave and it can travel in empty space too.

D) False

Mechanical waves need a medium to travel. So they can not travel in empty space.

13. What type of lens bends light outwards and away from a point?<br> concave
mezya [45]

Answer:

No,it isn't concave. The correct answer is convex lens.

Explanation:

<em>A lens is a piece of transparent material bound by two surfaces of which at least one is curved. A lens bound by two spherical surfaces bulging outwards is called a bi-convex lens or simply a convex lens. A single piece of glass that curves outward and converges the light incident on it is also called a convex lens.</em>

In 2017, the company SpaceX became the first private company to send supplies to the International Space Station with a reusable
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Approximately 3.98\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

Assumption: air resistance on the rocket is negligible. Take g = \rm 9.81\; m \cdot s^{-2}.

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law of Motion, the acceleration of the rocket is proportional to the net force on it.

\displaystyle \text{Acceleration} = \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Mass}}.

Note that in this case, the uppercase letter \rm M in the units stands for "mega-", which is the same as 10^6 times the unit that follows. For example, \rm 1\; Mg = 10^6\; g, while \rm 1\; MN = 10^6\; N.

Convert the mass of the rocket and the thrust of its engines to SI standard units:

  • The standard unit for mass is kilograms: \displaystyle m = \rm 552\; Mg = 552 \times 10^6\; g \times \frac{1\; \rm kg}{10^3\; g}  = 552 \times 10^3 \; kg.
  • The standard for forces (including thrust) is Newtons: \text{Thrust} = \rm 7.61 \; MN = 7.61 \times 10^6\; N.

At launch, the velocity of the rocket would be pretty low. Hence, compared to thrust and weight, the air resistance on the rocket would be pretty negligible. The two main forces that contribute to the net force of the rocket would be:

  • Thrust (which is supposed to go upwards), and
  • Weight (downwards due to gravity.)

The thrust on the rocket is already known to be \rm 7.61 \times 10^6\; N. Since the rocket is quite close to the ground, the gravitational acceleration on it should be approximately 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 9.81 \; N \cdot kg^{-1}. Hence, the weight on the rocket would be approximately 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \times 552 \times 10^3\; kg = 5.41412\times 10^6\; N.

The magnitude of the net force on the rocket would be

\begin{aligned}&\text{Thrust} - \text{Weight} \\ &= 7.61 \times 10^6\; \rm N - 5.41412\times 10^6\; N \\ &\approx 2.19 \times 10^6\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

Apply the formula \displaystyle \text{Acceleration} = \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Mass}} to find the net force on the rocket. To make sure that the output (acceleration) is in SI units (meters-per-second,) make sure that the inputs (net force and mass) are also in SI units (Newtons for net force and kilograms for mass.)

\begin{aligned}\displaystyle &\text{Acceleration} \\ &= \frac{\text{Net Force}}{\text{Mass}} \\ &= \frac{2.19 \times 10^6\; \rm N}{552 \times 10^3\; \rm kg}  \\ &\approx \rm 3.98\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}.
