Answer:

D. Upward force on the shuttle

Explanation:

The hot gas from space shuttles released downward causes an upward force on the shuttle and propels it up the more.

This hot gas is produced from super cooled oxygen and hydrogen tanks within the shuttle.
The upward force on the shuttle allows the craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth on the shuttle
Special level of rapid acceleration must be attained for the shuttle to escape the earth pull.

The initial volume reading in a graduated cylinder is 30 mL. The mass of an irregular shape of an unknown metal piece is 55.3 g.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$

Explanation:

When we put the metal piece in the liquid (which is in the graduated cylinder), how much it goes up is equal to the volume of the piece we inserted.

So now we know that the volume of that piece of unknown metal is 7mL (which is the same as 7 $cm^3$ ).

Density is $\frac{mass}{volume}$ .

So the density of that piece of metal is $\frac{55.3g}{7cm^3}$

Which leaves us with a final density of 7.9 $\frac{gr}{cm^3}$

The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion is known as?

kvv77 [185]

It's inertia. A rule that you see every day, for example a brick will stay in the same spot unless a force acts on it.

A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 475 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed

oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

a. The velocity of the wind as a vector in component form will be represented as v vector:

$v=30j$

b.The velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form will be represented as u vector

$u=475i$

c. The true velocity of the jet as a vector will be represented as w:

$w=u+v$

$w=475i+30j$

d. The true speed of the jet will be calculated as:

$IwI=\sqrt{(475)^2+(30)^2}$

$IwI=\sqrt{225625+900}$

$IwI=\sqrt{226525}$

$IwI=476 mi/h$

e. The direction of the jet will be:

$tita=tan^{-1}\frac{30}{475}$

$tita=tan^{-1}(0.0632)$

$tita=3.62degrees,or,N86.38degreesS$

Explain<br> (0) what is meant by regeneration,<br> (ii) why an analogue signal cannot be regenerated

Kamila [148]

Explanation:

<h3>1.) Regeneration is the natural process of replacing or restoring damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs, and even entire body parts to full function in plants and animals.</h3>

2.) When noise is added to analogue signals, it usually sounds like background hiss. Such noise can not be removed so the original clean signal can not be re-created or re-generated.
