Velocity = (displacement) / (time)

Velocity = (change in location) / (time for the change), and direction of the change

Displacement = (location at the end) minus (location at the start)

Displacement = (461.6 km North) - (zero) = 461.6 km North

Velocity = (461.6 km North) / (44.7 sec)

Velocity = (461.6 / 44.7) km/sec North

Velocity = 10.33 km/sec North

That's right about 23,100 miles per hour ! That rocket is really honkin !

With just a little more oomph, that rocket could go up and NEVER come back. The 'escape velocity' from Earth is 11.2 km/sec, and this rocket already has 92% of it !

Planets in our solar system do not revolve around the sun in perfect circles. Their orbits are more like ovals that scientists describe as elliptical. It is one of Kepler's laws. The sun is the focus of all the planets. The correct answer is D.

What type of energy does a pv cell create ?

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: Solar Photovoltaic (PV) cells generate electricity by absorbing sunlight and using that light energy to create an electrical current. There are many PV cells within a single solar panel, and the current created by all of the cells together adds up to enough electricity to help power your school, home and businesses.

5.1C A fluid flows steadily through a pipe with a uniform crosssectional area. The density of the fluid decreases to half its in

prisoha [69]

The options are;

a. V2 equals 2V1.

b. V2 equals (V1)/2.

c. V2 equals V1.

d. V2 equals (V1)/4.

e. V2 equals 4V1.

Answer:

Option A: V2 equals 2V1

Explanation:

Since the flow is steady, then we can say;

mass flow rate at input = mass flow rate at output.

Formula for mass flow rate is;

m' = ρVA

Thus;

At input;

m'1 = ρ1•V1•A1

At output;

m'2 = ρ2•V2•A2

So, m'1 = m'2

Now, we are told that the density of the fluid decreases to half its initial value.

Thus; ρ2 = (ρ1)/2

Since m'1 = m'2, then;

ρ1•V1•A1 = (ρ1)/2•V2•A2

Now, the pipe is uniform and thus the cross section doesn't change. Thus;

A1 = A2

We now have;

ρ1•V1•A1 = (ρ1)/2•V2•A1

A1 and ρ1 will cancel out to give;

V1 = (V2)/2

Thus, V2 = 2V1

You move a 2.5 kg book from a shelf that is 1.2 m above the ground to a shelf that is 2.6 m above the ground. What is the change

Sophie [7]

The change in potential energy of an object is given by
$U=mg \Delta h$
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the gravitational acceleration
$\delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the object

In our problem, $m=2.5 kg$ is the mass of the book, $g=9.81 m/s^2$ and
$\Delta h=2.6 m -1.2 m=1.4 m$ is the increase in altitude of the book, so its variation of potential energy is
$U=mg\Delta h=(2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.4 m)=34.3 J$
