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 %.

Explain how the human ear works
qwelly [4]

The three parts of the ear anatomy are the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The inner ear is also called the cochlea. (‘Cochlea’ means ‘snail’ in Latin; the cochlea gets its name from its distinctive coiled up shape.)

The outer ear consists of the pinna, ear canal and eardrum
The middle ear consists of the ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes) and ear drum
The inner ear consists of the cochlea, the auditory (hearing) nerve and the brain
Sound waves enter the ear canal and make the ear drum vibrate. This action moves the tiny chain of bones (ossicles – malleus, incus, stapes) in the middle ear. The last bone in this chain ‘knocks’ on the membrane window of the cochlea and makes the fluid in the cochlea move. The fluid movement then triggers a response in the hearing nerve.

How much power does it take to lift 30.0 N 10.0 m high in 5.00 s?
Rudik [331]

Power = work/time = (Force times distance)/time

= (30N *10.0m)/5.00s = 300/5 = 60 Watts

Test Due! Which statement is true?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The correct answer is C. Mercury and Mars have the same gravitational force

Explanation:

This chart compares the different features of two planets in our solar system (Mercury and Mars). In this chart, the only numerical value or feature that is the same for both planets is gravity because for both planets gravity is 1.7 m/s2. This implies the gravitational force or the force that attracts objects towards the center of the planet is the same or that objects are pulled with the same force in both planets. Moreover, this factor depends on others such as mass, density, among others.

Explanation:

Negative (-) charge M will not move towards negative (-) charge K because, same charges will not attract each other in the given case

Negative (-) charge at the M tends to move towards positive (+) charge L in the direction of B) because opposite charges attract each other.
