Answer:

B) gravity

Explanation:

For a rocket to launch, it must overcome the force of gravity acting on it. For this, it produces an upward force (thrust) that "fights" against the force that is pulling it downward (gravity).

To produce the buoyant force, the rocket engines produce combustion gases, usually using liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as the oxidizer, these gases are expelled by the rocket nozzles, pushing against the upper wall of the nozzles. The relationship between the forces can be summed up by Newton's third law, in which every action causes a reaction of equal force and direction and opposite direction, the gases are expelled with such a force that it exceeds the force of the rocket, propelling it upwards .

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The final velocity of her partner is approximately -1.04 m/s or 1.04 m/s in the opposite direction to her direction of motion

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the man, m₁ = 65 kg

The mass of the woman, m₂ = 45 kg

Taking the relative initial velocity of the man and the woman as 0 m/s, we have;

The initial velocity of the man, v₁₁ = 0 m/s

The initial velocity of the man, v₁₂ = 0 m/s

The final velocity of the woman, v₂₂ = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the man = v₂₁

Therefore, we have, by the conservation of momentum principle;

The total initial momentum = The total final momentum

Which gives;

m₁ × v₁₁ + m₂ × v₁₂ = m₁ × v₂₁ + m₂ × v₂₂

Substituting the known values;

65 × 0 + 45 × 0 = 65 × v₂₁ + 45 × 1.5

∴ 65 × v₂₁ + 45 × 1.5 = 0

45 × 1.5 = - 65 × v₂₁

v₂₁ = 45 × 1.5/(-65) ≈ -1.04 m/s

The final velocity of the man, her partner = v₂₁ ≈ -1.04 m/s.

Solar energy is a clean, renewable energy source. It is expensive to build a solar plant, but there is no fuel cost only mainten

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Energy production requires the setting up of a complete interconnected chain from generation of energy from the root source of the energy to the storage of the generated energy and the eventual utilization of the energy when required

Solar energy, indirectly, continues to be the main source of energy, however, the direct use of solar energy to power the systems we use in our everyday life, require the development of technologies, such as high efficiency solar cells, means of energy storage, and compatible efficient energy usage which are industrial areas that are seeing good progress but in which the current developed equipment are expensive to produce, and due to their efficiency, are undergoing further research and development

Therefore, due to the continuous increasing improvement in solar technology which can observed, the use of the produced energy through solar is evolving, and therefore, will continue to play a continuously increasing but lower role compared to other sources of energy which have been developed to satisfactory level that can drive an industry, considering the financial investment involved

kristine speeds past a parked police car at 32 m/s. The police car starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2.5 m/s^2. Ho

Digiron [165]

$32 = 0 \times t + \frac{1}{2} \times 2.5 \times t^{2} \\ 32 = 0 + 1.25 \times t {}^{2} \\ 32 = 1.25t {}^{2} \\ \frac{32}{1.25} = \frac{1.25t {}^{2} }{1.25} \\ t {}^{2} = 25.6 \\ \sqrt{t {}^{2} } = \sqrt{25.6} \\ t = 5.1seconds \\$

arzan, who weighs 700 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a convenient vine thatis 20 m long. From the top of the cliff to the

vekshin1

Answer:

= 7.07 m

Explanation:

The Tarzan reaches bottom of swing after descending 2.5 m,

change in his potential energy equals his kinetic energy at bottom of swing

m g h = (1/2) m v² ,

hence speed v of Tarzan at bottom of swing is given as

v = ( 2 g h )1/2

= ( 2 × 9.8 × 2.5 )1/2

= 7 m/s

At the bottom of swing, if the vine breaks, then he is moving with horizontal velocity 7 m/s in gravitational field.

If vertical distance from ground to bottom of swing is 5 m, then time t for Tarzan to reach ground is given by

S = (1/2)g t2 or t = (2S/g)1/2

= ( 2 × 5 / 9.8 )1/2

= 1.01 s

Horizontal distance traveled by Tarzan = 1.01 × 7

= 7.07 m
