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 %.

A stone is dropped from the edge of a roof, and hits the ground with a velocity of -180 feet per second. How high (in feet) is t
Neko [114]

Answer:

d = 506.25 ft

Explanation:

As we know by kinematics that

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

here we know that initially the stone is dropped from rest from the edge of the roof

so here initial speed will be zero

now we have

v_i = 0

also the acceleration of the stone is due to gravity which is given as

g = 32 ft/s^2

now we have

v_f = 180 ft/s

so from above equation

180^2 - 0 = 2(32)d

d = 506.25 ft

Vlad [161]

B. Energy

A power company charges its customers for electricity based upon B. Energy.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Kilo-watt Hours (kWh) is the unit that measures the electricity consumption of customers. Since Power is defined as the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electrical circuit per unit time,

P = \frac{E}{t} \\E= P\times t

If energy is transmitted at a constant rate over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt hours is the product of power in kilowatts(kW) and time in hours (h)

1\ kWh = 3.6\times 10^6\ Joules
