A student builds a rocket-propelled cart for a science project. Its acceleration is not quite high enough to win a prize, so he

uses a larger rocket engine that provides 39% more thrust, although doing so increases the mass of the cart by 13%. By what percentage does the cart's acceleration increase?

Answer:

Explanation:

a = F / m

where a is acceleration , F is thrust and m is mass

taking log and differentiating

da / a = dF / F - dm / m

(da / a)x 100 = (dF / F)x100 - (dm / m) x100

percentage increase in a = percentage increase in F - percentage increase in m

= percentage increase in acceleration a   = 39 - 13 = 26 %

required increase = 26 %.

How are ice liquid water and water vapor different from each other?
olga_2 [115]
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.

The near point of a person's eye is 71.4 cm. To see objects clearly at a distance of 24.0 cm, what should be the focal length an
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The focal length of the appropriate corrective lens is 35.71 cm.

The power of the appropriate corrective lens is 0.028 D.

Explanation:

The expression for the lens formula is as follows;

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

Here, f is the focal length, u is the object distance and v is the image distance.

It is given in the problem that the given lens is corrective lens. Then, it will form an upright and virtual image at the near point of person's eye. The near point of a person's eye is 71.4 cm. To see objects clearly at a distance of 24.0 cm, the corrective lens is used.

Put v= -71.4 cm and u= 24.0 cm in the above expression.

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{-71.4}

\frac{1}{f}=0.028

f= 35.71 cm

Therefore, the focal length of the corrective lens is 35.71 cm.

The expression for the power of the lens is as follows;

p=\frac{1}{f}

Here, p is the power of the lens.

Put f= 35.71 cm.

p=\frac{1}{35.71}

p=0.028 D

Therefore, the power of the corrective lens is 0.028 D.

What is true of transverse waves?
topjm [15]
<h2>Answer:D</h2>

Explanation:

Option A:

Surface waves are neither transverse nor longitudinal.They traverse perpendicularly or parallel to the wave's motion along the interface between different media.

Option B:

Transverse waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the propagation of the wave.

Option C:

Sound is a longitudinal wave.Not a transverse wave.

Option D:

Transverse waves don't require a medium for propagation.But they propagate in medium too.
