Answer:

21.6m

Explanation:

Since the rocket engine burns all the fuel hence the kinetic energy will be converted to potential energy

Potential Energy = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height

Given

PE = 1905J

Mass = 9.0kg

Acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s²

Required

Height h

Substitute into the formula

1905 = 9(9.8)h

1905 = 88.2h

h =1905/88.3

h = 21.6m

Hence the required height is 21.6m

In a 4.0-kilometer race, a runner completes the first kilometer in 5.9 minutes, the second kilometer in 6.2 minutes, the third k
Svetlanka [38]

As per the question the total distance is given as 4 km.

We are asked to calculate the average speed.

The time taken by the body to travel each kilometre are 5.9 min,6.2 min.,6.3min. and 6 min. respectively.

The average speed of a body is defined as the ratio of total distance travelled by the body to the total time.

Mathematically the average speed is written as _

V= Total distance/Total time

i.e V = S/T

Where S is the total distance travelled and T is the total time

Here total distance (S)= 4 km

The total time T= (5.9+6.2 +6.3+ 6.0 )minutes

=24.4 min.

Hence average speed V = 4 km/24.4 min

= 0.16 km/min.

Hence the correct option is A .

A uranium nucleus 238U may stay in one piece for billions of years, but sooner or later it decays into an α particle of mass 6.6
ale4655 [162]

Answer: The recoil speed is - 8.9604.10^{4} m/s.

Explanation: According to the Third Law of Newton, every action has an oppsite and equal reaction, and the Second Law of Newton, Force=mass·acceleration. Acceleration is a variation in velocity by any given time, so Force = mass·velocity·time.

Combining the two laws, there is : m1·v1 = - m2·v2. This is the Law of Conservation of Momentum.

Substituting and calculating:

v2 = - (\frac{m1}{m2}) · v1

v2 = - \frac{6.64.10^{-27} }{3.88.10^{-25} } · 5.24.10^{6}

v2 = - 8.9604.10^{4}

The recoil speed of the thorium nucleus is - 8.9604.10^{4}m/s.

Two charges 5 c and 15 c are seperated by 10 cm. what is the electric force between them?
icang [17]

Answer:

6.75×10^13N

Explanation:

The electric force between the charges can be determined using coulombs law which states that 'the force of attraction between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distance between them.

Mathematically, F = kq1q2/r² where;

q1 and q2 are the charges

r is the distance between the charges

F is the force of attraction

k is the coulombs constant

Given q1 = 5C q2 = 15C r = 10cm = 0.1m k = 9×10^9Nm²/C²

Substituting the given values in the formula we have;

F =9×10^9×5×15/0.1²

F = 6.75×10^11/0.01

F = 6.75×10^13N

Therefore the electric force between them is 6.75×10^13N
