How can a rocket be propelled forward in space where there is no air to push<br> against?
pychu [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

In space, rockets zoom around with no air to push against. ... When a rocket shoots fuel out one end, this propels the rocket forward — no air is required. NASA says this principle is easy to observe on Earth. If you stand on a skateboard and throw a bowling ball forward, that force will push you and the skateboard back.

How does electricity flow?
svp [43]
An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionized gas (plasma).

A thin oil slick (no=1.50) floats on water (nw=1.33). When a beam of white light strikes this film at normal incidence from air,
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The (minimum) thickness of the oil slick is 325 nm.

Explanation:

Let the (minimum) thickness of the oil slick = t_{o}

Therefore:

2t_{o} = (m_{red}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{red}/n_{o}       (1)

similarly,

2t_{o}=(m_{violet}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{violet}/n_{o}                                (2)

Thus, equation 1 = equation 2

(m_{red}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{red} /n_{o} = (m_{violet}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{violet}/n_{o}

Where:

λ_{red} = 650 nm

λ_{violet} = 390 nm

n_{o} = 1.5

Therefore:

\frac{2m_{violet}+1 }{2n_{red}+1 }=650/390=5/3

This shows that,

m_{violet}=2

m_{red}=1

Thus, using equation 2

t_{o}=\frac{5*390}{2*2*1.5} =325 nm

PLEASE HELP ASAP Which one of the following is a step used for balancing chemical equations?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

C. Count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

In order for a chemical equation to be balanced, the condition which must be met is that the number of atoms in the reactants equals the number of atoms in the products.

This ultimately implies that, the mass and charge of the chemical equation are both balanced properly.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

One of the step used for balancing chemical equations is to count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

For example;

NH3 + O2 -----> NO + H2O

The number of atoms in each chemical element are;

For the reactant side:

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 3

Oxygen, O = 2

For the product side;

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 2

Oxygen, O = 2

When we balance the chemical equation, we would have;

NH3 + 3O2 -----> 4NO + 2H2O

A capacitor in an LC oscillator experiences a maximum potential difference of 88V and a maximum energy of 2002 uJ. At a certain
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

maximum energy of capacitor

E = 1/2 C V ²

C is capacitance of capacitor and V is potential difference

given V = 88 V

E = 2002 x 10⁻⁶ J

Putting the values

2002 x 10⁻⁶ = 1/2 x C x 88²

C = .517 x 10⁻⁶ F  .

In the second case

Energy E = 125 x 10⁻⁶ J .

C = .517 x 10⁻⁶

V =  ?

E = 1/2 C V ²

125 x 10⁻⁶  = 1/2 x  .517 x 10⁻⁶ x V²

V² = 483.55

V = 21.98 V .
