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 50.6 g ball of copper has a net charge of 1.6 µc. what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed? (each copper atom
Fynjy0 [20]
First figure out how many atoms you have with Avogadro's number.  Since there are 63.5 grams/mol and you have 50.6 grams, you have (50.6/63.5)6.022E23=4.7986E23 atoms.  Since there are 29 protons per atom, there are also 29 electrons per atom, so you should have a total of
29*4.7986E23=1.3916E25 electrons.
Since there is a positive charge you know some of these electrons are missing.  How many are missing can be found by dividing the charge you have by the charge on the electron:  1.6E-6/1.6022E-19 = 9.98627E12 electrons are missing.  
Now take the ratio of what is missing to what there should be:
9.98627E12/1.3916E25 = 7.1760873E-13

Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement co
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Its acceleration is positive

Explanation:

As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.

As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.
