In order to answer this, we would need to know
the half-life of ⁴⁰K. Perhaps when you look that up,
you'll be able to answer this on your own.

A rocket initially at rest accelerates at a rate of 99. 0 meters/second2. Calculate the distance covered by the rocket if it att

creativ13 [48]

The rocket will cover $1 \times 10^3\rm \ m$ distance in 4. 5 s. Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the change in speed or the direction of the object.

From kinamatic equation:

$D = v_{t} +\dfrac 12at^2$

Where,

$D$ - final velocity = 445 m/s

$v_0$ - initial valocity = 0 m/s

$a$ - acceleration = 99. 0 m/s²

$t$ - time = 4. 50 s

Put the values in the formula,

$D = 0\times ( 4.5) + \dfrac12\times (99)(4.5)^2\\\\D = 1002 {\rm \ m}\\\\D = 1 \times 10^3\rm \ m$

Therefore, the rocket will cover $1 \times 10^3\rm \ m$ distance in 4. 5 s.

In what regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the atmosphere transparent enough to allow observations from the ground?

MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.

An acorn falls from an oak tree. You note that it

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

It was going at 9.8m/s² as this is the acceleration of an object due to gravity

when an object falls it accelerates at a consant and uniform speed which is 9.8m/s²
