<span>When the fuel of the rocket is consumed, the acceleration would be zero. However, at this phase the rocket would still be going up until all the forces of gravity would dominate and change the direction of the rocket. We need to calculate two distances, one from the ground until the point where the fuel is consumed and from that point to the point where the gravity would change the direction.
Given:
a = 86 m/s^2
t = 1.7 s
Solution:
d = vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)
d = (0) (1.7) + 0.5 (86) (1.7)^2
d = 124.27 m
vf = vi + at
vf = 0 + 86 (1.7)
vf = 146.2 m/s (velocity when the fuel is consumed completely)
Then, we calculate the time it takes until it reaches the maximum height.
vf = vi + at
0 = 146.2 + (-9.8) (t)
t = 14.92 s
Then, the second distance
d= vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)
d = 146.2 (14.92) + 0.5 (-9.8) (14.92^2)
d = 1090.53 m
Then, we determine the maximum altitude:
d1 + d2 = 124.27 m + 1090.53 m = 1214.8 m</span>
Answer:
B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.
Explanation:
It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.
For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by
is
(S.I. unit = Joules).
where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.
But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat
(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water
Answer: Δβ (dB) = -13.1dB
Explanation:
The intensity of sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
I ∝ 1/r²
I₁/I₂= r₂²/r₁² .....1
When the listener increases his distance from the source by a factor of 4.49.
Then,
r₂/r₁= 4.49
From equation 1
I₁/I₂ = (4.49)²
I₁/I₂ = 20.16
I₂/I₁ = 1/20.16
The change in sound intensity in dB can be given as
Δβ (dB) = 10 log(I₂/l₁) = 10log(1/20.6) = -13.1dB
An electromagnetic , transverse, wave is a wave that goes up and down, such as light that does not need a medium to travel
While compressional, longitudinal wave such as sound require a medium to travel and can be compressed
hope this helps
