<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The acceleration of the rocket during launch is 1600 ms^-^2.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The rocket works on the principle of Newton’s third law which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The average thrusting force from the momentum is given as  

F= \frac{\Delta p} {\Delta t}

Here Δp is the change in momentum during the process of launching and Δt is the time taken by the rocket to attain its maximum speed for launching.

We also know that p = mv and F = ma from Newton’s second law of motion.

mass \times acceleration=\frac  {(mass \times \Delta velcoity)}  {\Delta time}

As the mass of the rocket will be constant during launching so Δp will have only variation in velocity. Thus the acceleration during launch of rocket will be

acceleration = \frac{80}{0.05}= 1600 ms^-^2

<em>Thus the launching acceleration is 1600 ms-2. </em>

Answer:

1600 \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time it took to produce such change. The formula then reads:

a = \frac{change-in-velocity}{time} = \frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

Where Vf is the final velocity of the object, (in our case 80 m/s)

Vi is the initial velocity of the object (in our case 0 m/s because the object was at rest)

and t is the time it took to change from the Vi to the Vf (in our case 0.05 seconds.

Therefore we have:

a = \frac{80 m/s - 0 m/s}{0.05 sec} = 1600 \frac{m}{s^2}

Notice that the units of acceleration in the SI system are \frac{m}{s^2} (meters divided square seconds)

Which statement BEST describes how the body moves?
Alex73 [517]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. Skeletal muscles, which are made of fibers, nerves, and blood vessels, contract in order to make the body move.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Muscular tissues functions in movement and locomotion through its direct connection with the skeletal system. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Skeletal muscles are responsible for moving the body. The skeletal muscle contractions pull on tendons, which as attached to bones. When the skeletal muscle contraction causes the muscle to shorten, the bone and thus the body par will move. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Skeletal muscles also provide structural support for the entire body. </u></em>

n a car lift used in a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston that has a circular cross section of rad
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 1477.78 N

Explanation:

Let's assume that the cross sectional area of the smaller piston be A1

let's also assume the cross sectional area of the larger piston be A2

We assume the force applied to the smaller piston be F1

We also assume the force applied to the larger piston be F2

we then use the formula

F1/A1 = F2/A2

From our question,

The radius of the smaller piston is 5 cm = 0.05 m

The radius of the larger piston is 15 cm = 0.15 m

The force of the larger piston is 13300 N

The force of the smaller piston is unknown = F

A1 = πr² = 3.142 * 0.05² = 0.007855 m²

A2 = πr² = 3.142 * 0.15² = 0.070695 m²

F1/0.007855 = 13300/0.070695

F1 = (13300 * 0.007855) / 0.070695

F1 = 104.4715 / 0.070695

F1 = 1477.78 N

Thus, the force the compressed air must exert is 1477.78 N
