A space vehicle is traveling at 2980 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The

relative speed between the motor and the command module is then 94 km/h. The mass of the motor is four times the mass of the module. What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth just after the separation

Answer:

3054.4 km/h

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum

momentum before separation = 5M × 2980 Km/h where M represent the mass of the module while 4 M represent the mass of the motor

initial momentum = 14900 M km/h

let v be the new speed of the motor so that the

new momentum = 4Mv and the new momentum of the module  = M ( v + 94 km/h )

total momentum = 4Mv + Mv + 93 M = 5 Mv + 93M

initial momentum = final momentum

14900 M km/h = 5 Mv + 93M

14900 km/h = 5v + 93

14900 - 93 = 5v

v = 2961.4 km/h

the speed of the module = 2961.4 + 93 = 3054.4 km/h

Hello! The nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine that have created a hole in the ozone layer are the Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

These are compounds developed and improved by Thomas Midgley in the late 1920s. They were used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants.

These compounds created a hole in the ozone layer by the following reactions:

CCl₃F → CCl₂F· + Cl· (In the presence of light. Radical Reaction)
Cl· + O₃ → ClO + O₂
ClO + O₃ → Cl· + O₂ 

The last 2 reactions can repeat in a radical mechanism and explain why these compounds are so harmful to the ozone layer.

If two monochromatic light waves undergo destructive interference, the amplitude of the resultant wave is
lesya692 [45]

Answer: The amplitude is 0. (assuming that the amplitude ot both initial waves is the same)

Explanation:

When two monochromatic light waves of the same wavelength and same amplitude undergo destructive interference, means that the peak of one of the waves coincides with the trough of the other, so the waves "cancel" each other in that point in space.

Then if two light waves undergo destructive interference, the amplitude of the resultant wave in that particular point is 0.

Question 1 of 7What is the change in internal energy if 90 J of thermal energy is added to asystem, and the system does 30 J of
Dmitriy789 [7]

Given:

The thermal energy added to the system is Q = 90 J

The work done by the system on the surroundings is W = 30 J

To find the change in internal energy.

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy can be calculated by the formula

\Delta U=\text{ Q-W}

On substituting the values, the change in internal energy will be

\begin{gathered} \Delta U\text{ =90-30} \\ =60\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The chage in internal energy is 60 J (option D)

What are the two requirements of a circuit so that current will flow?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

-The battery-the power source

-Closed conducting loop

Explanation:

-To produce an electric current, the following requirements must be met:

-A battery-This is the energy source than will do work on the charge thus moving from a low energy location to high energy location.

-Closed Conducting Loop-The loop is usually made of copper wires due to their high electric conductivity.
