Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

A box is being pulled to the right. What is the direction of the gravitational force?

lapo4ka [179]

The correct answer to the question is vertically downward i.e towards the centre of earth.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the box is pulled to the right.

Hence, the direction of the applied force is towards right.

We are asked to determine the direction of the gravitational force that acts on the body.

Before answering this question, first we gave to understand the gravitational force of earth.

Any body present on the surface of earth is attracted with the force of gravity of earth ( gravitational force ) towards its centre. It is equivalent to the weight of the body.

The force of gravity is always directed towards the centre of earth irrespective of the nature of applied force.

Hence, the direction of the gravitational force which acts on the box is vertically downward.

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 85.0 m/s2

sergey [27]

Answer:

Maximum height attained by the model rocket is 2172.87 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial speed of the model rocket = u = 0
acceleration of the model rocket = $a\ =\ 85.0 m/s^2$
time during the acceleration = t = 2.30 s

We have to consider the whole motion into two parts

In first part the rocket is moving with an acceleration of a = 85.0 $m/s^2$ for the time t = 2.30 s before the fuel abruptly runs out.

Let $s_1$ be the height attained by the rocket during this time intervel,

$s_1\ =\ ut\ +\ \dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_1\ =\ 0\ +\ 0.5\times 85\times 2.30^2\\\Rightarrow s_1\ =\ 224.825\ m$

And Final velocity at that point be v

$\therefore v\ =\ u\ +\ at\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 0\ +\ 85.0\times 2.3\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 195.5\ m/s.$

Now, in second part, after reaching the altitude of 224.825 m the fuel abruptly runs out. Therefore rocket is moving upward under the effect of gravitational acceleration,

Let ' $s_2$ ' be the altitude attained by the rocket to reach at the maximum point after the rocket's fuel runs out,

At that insitant,

initial velocity of the rocket = v = 195.5 m/s.

a = $-g\ =\ -9.81\ m/s^2$
Final velocity of the rocket at the maximum altitude = $v_f\ =\ 0$

From the kinematics,

$v^2\ =\ u^2\ +\ 2as\\\Rightarrow 0\ =\ u^2\ -\ 2gs_2\\\Rightarrow s_2\ =\ \dfrac{u^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow s_2\ =\ \dfrac{195.5^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow s_2\ =\ 1948.02\ m$
