A rocket is fired in deep space, where gravity is negligible. In the first second it ejects 1/160 of its mass as exhaust gas and

has an acceleration of 14.0 m/s^2.

Answer:

840 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

In the first second the rocket ejects 1/160 of its mass as exhaust gas and has an acceleration of 14.0 m/s².

We need to find the speed of the exhaust gas relative to the rocket.

The thrust of rocket is given by :

T=v_{gas}\dfrac{dm}{dt}\\\\ma=v_{gas}\dfrac{dm}{dt}\\\\v_{gas}=\dfrac{ma}{\dfrac{dm}{dt}}\\\\v_{gas}=\dfrac{14m}{\dfrac{1}{60}m}\\\\v_{gas}=840\ m/s

So, the speed of the exhaust gas relative to the rocket is 840 m/s.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer;

The temperature change for the second pan will be lower compared to the temperature change of the first pan

Explanation;

-The quantity of heat is given by multiplying mass by specific heat and by temperature change.

That is; Q = mcΔT

This means; the quantity of heat depends on the mass, specific heat capacity of a substance and also the change in temperature.

-Maintaining the same quantity of heat, with another pan of the same mass and greater specific heat capacity would mean that the change in temperature would be much less lower.

Explain how astronomers might use spectroscopy to determine the composition and temperature of a star.
Damm [24]

Everything starts from spectroscopy. Astronomers only have concentrated information at wavelengths that are emitted from the stars. What they do with this information is to obtain the frequency range of the stars and through spectroscopes they are responsible for dividing the radiation beams and determining the coincidence with the emission of those same waves, of chemical elements. From these observation techniques it is possible to obtain the composition and according to the color, obtaining characteristics such as temperature. The spectrum of stars consists of dark and bright lines called Fraunhofer lines. This spectrum is compared to the spectrum of different elements to find the composition of the stars. This is possible because the elements emit or absorb only specific wavelengths.

If the average pitcher is releasing the ball from a height of 1.8 m above the ground, and the pitcher's mound is 0.2 m higher th
neonofarm [45]

Answer: A. 2.0m above ground

Explanation:

Height of the pitcher from the floor of his mound = 1.8m

Height of the mound above the rest of the field = 0.2m

Since the height difference between the mound and the ground the catcher stands on = 0.2m and the pitcher throws the ball horizontally, then the catcher has to hold his glove at (1.8 + 0.2)m

above ground.

= 2.0m above ground (option A)

Which is true about total internal reflection?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

It can occur only when light is incident on an interface where the index of refraction on the other side is less.

Explanation:

When the light passes from a denser medium, with refractive index n1, to another less dense medium, with refractive index n2, the incident light beam is refracted in such a way that it is not able to cross the surface between both media, the light beam is fully reflected and completely confining in the optically denser medium through which it propagates. For this phenomenon to occur, it is necessary that the angle of the incident light beam with respect to the normal be greater than or equal to the critical incidence angle θc. The critical angle can be calculated as :

\theta_c=arcsin(\frac{n_2}{n_1})
