Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!

A special rocket can produce 7.66 ✕ 10^5 N of instantaneous thrust with an exhaust speed of 3.05 ✕ 103 m/s in vacuum. What mass
adelina 88 [10]

The mass of fuel the engine burn each second to produce a thrust of 7.66×10⁵ N is 2.5×10² kg/s.

<h3 /><h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass can be defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. The S.I unit of mass is kilogram(kg)

To calculate the mass the engine burns each seconds, we use the formula below.

Formual:

  • M = T/v............. Equation

Where:

  • M = Mass per seconds of the rocket
  • T = Thrust
  • v = Velocity

From the question,

Given:

  • T = 7.66×10⁵ N
  • v = 3.05×10³ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • M = (7.66×10⁵)/(3.05×10³)
  • M = 2.5×10² kg/s

Hence, the mass of fuel burned in each second is 2.5×10² kg/s.

The wheel of a stationary exercise bicycle at your gym makes one rotation in 0.670 s. Consider two points on this wheel: Point P
defon

Answer:

0.938 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

ω = 1 rev in 0.67 s

In rad/s,

1 rev = 2pi rad

ω = 2pi ÷ 0.67

= 9.38 rad/s

Rp = 10 cm

= 0.1 m

V = ω × r

= 9.38 × 0.1

= 0.938 m/s.

Which is the electric potential energy of a charged particle divided by its charge?Electric fieldelectric field lineelectric pot
Dahasolnce [82]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

electric potential

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit charge.

Mathematically; V =PE/q

Where; PE is the electric potential energy, V is the electric potential and q is the charge.

Electric potential is more commonly known as voltage.  If you know the potential at a point, and you then place a charge at that point, the potential energy associated with that charge in that potential is simply the charge multiplied by the potential.
