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 .

It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
$F=k_e \frac{e q}{r^2}$

So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

A gas expands at a constant pressure of 3 atm from a volume of 0.02 cubic meters to 0.10 cubic meters. In the process it experie

Nonamiya [84]

a) $2.4\cdot 10^4 J$

For a gas transformation occuring at a constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by

$W=p(V_f -V_i)$

where

p is the gas pressure

V_f is the final volume of the gas

V_i is the initial volume

For the gas in the problem,

$p=3 atm = 3\cdot 1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa = 3.039\cdot 10^5 Pa$ is the pressure

$V_i = 0.02 m^2$ is the initial volume

$V_f = 0.10 m^3$ is the final volume

Substituting,

$W=(3.039\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.10 m^3-0.02m^2)=24312 J = 2.4\cdot 10^4 J$

b) $3.24\cdot 10^5 J$

The heat absorbed by the gas can be found by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the gas

Q is the heat absorbed

W is the work done

Here we have

$\Delta U = 3.0\cdot 10^5 J$

$W=2.4\cdot 10^4 J$

So we can solve the equation to find Q:

$Q=\Delta U + W = 3.0\cdot 10^5 J +2.4\cdot 10^4 J = 3.24\cdot 10^5 J$

And this process is an isobaric process (=at constant pressure).

During Photosynthesis, solar energy is absorbed. What kind of reaction is<br> taking place?

Semmy [17]

Answer:

In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water. The light-dependent reactions release oxygen from the hydrolysis of water as a byproduct.
