Answer: 60kg/sec

Explanation:

From the question, the mass is given as:

Mass, m = 6000kg

The formula for thrust us calculated as:

F = u × dt/dm

We then equate thrust = weight. This will be:

1000 × dt/dm =mg

1000 × dt/dm = 6000 × 10

1000 × dt/dm = 60000

dt/dm = 60,000/1,000

dt/dm = 60kg

Therefore, the gas ejected per second will be 60 kg/s

3. Identify each statement as true or false. Current equals the product of voltage and resistance for an ohmic device.The greate

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

A) Current equals the product of voltage and resistance for an ohmic device. False (current is voltage divided by resistance)

B) The greater the length of a wire, the higher the resistance of the wire. True (Resistivity is directly proportional to lenght and inversely proportional to the cross sectional area)

C) The potential difference produced by a battery varies depending on the circuit in which it is used. False (the potential difference of a battery is constant, the current drawn is what varies with circuit)

D) The thicker an electrical wire, the higher the resistance of the wire. False ( Resistivity is inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of the conductor).

A 1,800kg rollercoaster is going down a hill with a kinetic energy of 25,000J. What

Softa [21]

The velocity of the rollercoaster going down the hill is equal to 5.270 m/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass of rollercoaster = 1,800 kilograms.

Kinetic energy =25,000 Joules.

To calculate the velocity of the rollercoaster going down the hill:

<h3>Formula for kinetic energy.</h3>

Mathematically, kinetic energy is calculated by using the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} MV^2$

<u>Where:</u>

K.E is the kinetic energy.

M is the mass of an object.

V is the velocity of an object.

Making V the subject of formula, we have:

$V =\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{M} }$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$V =\sqrt{\frac{2\times 25000}{1800} }\\\\V=\sqrt{27.7778}$

Velocity, V = 5.270 m/s

In a Hydrogen atom an electron rotates around a stationary proton in a circular orbit with an approximate radius of r =0.053nm.

leonid [27]

Answer:

(a): $F_e = 8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

(b): $F_g = 3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

(c): $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$

Explanation:

Given that an electron revolves around the hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius r = 0.053 nm = 0.053 $\times 10^{-9}$ m.

Part (a):

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two charged particles of charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ respectively is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}$

where,

$k$ = Coulomb's constant = $9\times 10^9\ \rm Nm^2/C^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the charges.

For the given system,

The Hydrogen atom consists of a single proton, therefore, the charge on the Hydrogen atom, $q_1 = +1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

The charge on the electron, $q_2 = -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C.$

These two are separated by the distance, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_e = \dfrac{(9\times 10^9)\times |+1.6\times 10^{-19}|\times |-1.6\times 10^{-19}|}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=8.202\times 10^{-8}\ \rm N.$

Part (b):

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects of masses $m_1$ and $m_1$ respectively is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}.$

where,

$G$ = Universal Gravitational constant = $6.67\times 10^{-11}\ \rm Nm^2/kg^2.$
$r$ = distance of separation between the masses.

For the given system,

The mass of proton, $m_1 = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg.$

The mass of the electron, $m_2 = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg.$

Distance between the two, $r = 0.053\times 10^{-9}\ m.$

Thus, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton is given by

$F_g = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11})\times (1.67\times 10^{-27})\times (9.11\times 10^{-31})}{(0.053\times 10^{-9})^2}=3.6125\times 10^{-47}\ \rm N.$

The ratio $\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}$ :

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{8.202\times 10^{-8}}{3.6125\times 10^{-47}}=2.27\times 10^{39}.$
