Natalija [7]4 years ago

The answer is 1. 4 is incorrect because you can't really decrease the mass of the driver. 3 is incorrect because accelerating the driver would cause more damage than not. 2 is incorrect because decreasing the distance would only cause more damage. 1 is correct because by increasing the length of time the force acts on the driver helps reduce the speed of the driver and cause the drive to sustain less injuries. Hope that helps.

Room temperature water is placed in an Erlenmyer flask and heated to the boiling point. After the flask is removed from the heat
Vaselesa [24]

Explanation:

When water is boiled in the flask . Some portion of it is evaporated out . Now when cork is placed on it and is placed in the ice box . It cools down , by which the pressure inside decreases .

Due to decrease of pressure , the boiling point of water also decreases . Now it can boil at lower temperature . Thus it starts boiling at lower temperature even , when placed in the ice box .

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant acceleration 58.8m/s2 . The accel
Zanzabum
Split the operation in two parts. Part A) constant acceleration 58.8m/s^2, Part B) free fall.

Part A)
Height reached, y = a*[t^2] / 2 = 58.8 m/s^2 * [7.00 s]^2 / 2 = 1440.6 m

Now you need the final speed to use it as initial speed of the next part.

Vf = Vo + at = 0 + 58.8m/s^2 * 7.00 s = 411.6 m/s

Part B) Free fall

Maximum height, y max ==> Vf = 0

Vf = Vo - gt ==> t = [Vo - Vf]/g = 411.6 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 42 s

ymax = yo + Vo*t - g[t^2] / 2

ymax = 1440.6 m + 411.6m/s * 42 s - 9.8m/s^2 * [42s]^2 /2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 17287.2m - 8643.6m = 10084.2 m

Answer: ymax = 10084.2m

An inductor is connected in series to a fully charged capacitor. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that appl
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Explanation:

Lets take

C= Capacitance

L=Inductance

V=Voltage

I= Current

The total energy E given as

E=\dfrac{IL^2}{2}+\dfrac{CV^2}{2}

We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL²  will increases.

It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing
