<span>A rocket experiences a constant force even as the amount of fuel in its fuel tanks decreases. The acceleration on the other hand would increase since mass and acceleration is inversely proportional. By virtue of the equation F=ma. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Answer:

D. The acceleration increases because the mass decreases.

To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T
Fantom [35]

Answer:

V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Nucleus diameter d=5.50-fm

a 12C nucleus

Required kinetic energy K=2.30 MeV

Generally initial speed of proton must be determined,applying the law of conservation of energy we have

            K_2 +U_2=K_1+U_1

where

K_1 =initial kinetic energy

K_2 =final kinetic energy

U_1 =initial electric potential

U_2 =final electric potential

mathematically

   U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2}

where

r_f=distance b/w charges

q_c=nucleus charge =6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)

K=constant

q_p=proton charge

Generally kinetic energy is know as

         K=\frac{1}{2}  mv^2

Therefore

         U_2 = \frac{Kq_pq_c}{r_2} + K_2=\frac{1}{2}  mv_1^2 +U_1

Generally equation for radius is d/2

Mathematically solving for radius of nucleus

         R=(\frac{5.50}{2}) (\frac{1*10^-^1^5m}{1fm})

         R=2.75*10^-^1^5m

Generally we can easily solving mathematically substitute into v_1

   q_p=6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)

   K_1=9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2

   U_1= 0

   R=2.75*10^-^1^5m

   K=2.30 MeV

   m= 1.67*10^-^2^7kg

   V_1= (\frac{2}{1.67*10^-^2^7kg})^1^/^2 (\frac{(9.0*10^9 N-m^2/C^2)*(6(1.6*10^-^1^9C)(1.6*10^-^1^9C)}{2.75*10^-^1^5m+2.30 MeV(\frac{1.6*10^-^1^3 J}{1 MeV}) }

    V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s

Therefore the proton must be fired out with a speed of V_1= 3.4*10^7m/s

Use the collision theory to explain how increasing the temperature of a reaction will affect the rate of the reaction.
kirill115 [55]
Increasing the temperature causes the particles in the reaction to become kinetically excited, hitting one another in increasing frequency. Increased collision among means faster rate or reaction.

What part causes the disc brake caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released?
Orlov [11]
The part that causes the disc caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released is the square-cut O-ring.
The square cut seal is the most important part of a disc brake caliper, for keeping the brake behind the piston so that when you step on the brake pedal, it releases a pressure that applied to the piston which in return applies the pad to the rotor.
