A 500 g model rocket is resting horizontally at the top edge of a 40-m-high wall when it is accidentally bumped. The bump pushes

it off the edge with a horizontal speed of 0.5 m/s and at the same time causes the engine to ignite. When the engine fires, it exerts a constant 20 N horizontal thrust away from the wall. a. How far from the base of the wall does the rocket land?

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of rocket m = .5 kg

height of wall h = 40 m

initial horizontal velocity u = .5 m /s

horizontal acceleration = force / mass

= 20 / .5

a = 40 m /s²

Let rocket falls or covers 40 m vertically downwards in time t

h = 1/2 gt² , initial vertical velocity = 0

40 = 1/2 x 9.8 x t²

t = 2.8566 s

During this period it will cover horizontal distance with initial velocity of .5 m /s and acceleration a = 40m /s²

horizontal distance = ut + 1/2 at²

= .5 x 2.8566 + .5 x 40 x 2.8566²

= 1.4283 + 163.2033

= 164.63 m .

maria [59]

Answer: K =24 psi

Explanation:

Given: Standard deviation =3psi

Internal pressure strength =157psi

Number of random bottle =n=64

K= 3 × square root of 64

K= 3×8=24 psi

If mean internal pressure K fall below K,

157-1.3=155.7psi

At 2%:

0.16×64 = 10.24

What do you mean by momentum?
Shtirlitz [24]
The answer to this question is that --- The momentum possessed by a body is generally defined as the product of its mass and velocity.

Momentum is a vector and it also has magnitude as it is the product of the multiplication of the mass and velocity.

In science, Bob learns that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. If the energy of
KIM [24]
The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. Therefore, E = A² where A is the amplitude. This therefore means when the amplitude of a wave is doubled the energy will be quadrupled, when the amplitude is tripled the energy increases by a nine fold and so on.
Thus, in this case if the energy is 4J, then the amplitude will be  √4 = 2 .

Which statement best explains how isotopes can have different masses and still be the same element?
ss7ja [257]

Your list of choices is a very short list, and doesn't include any
correct explanation.

The mass of an atom is roughly the number of protons AND neutrons
in its nucleus, but the element only depends on how many protons are there. 

Different atoms of the same element may have different numbers of
neutrons, so their masses are different.  But they're the same element,
because they all have the same number of protons.
