Answer:

h = 18.41 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a test rocket, m = 11 kg

Its fuel gives it a kinetic energy of 1985 J by the time the rocket engine burns all of the fuel.

According to the law of conservation of energy,

PE = KE = mgh

h is height will the rocket rise

h=\dfrac{E}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{1985 }{11\times 9.8}\\\\h=18.41\ m

So, the rocket will rise to a height of 18.41 m.

Answer:

ΔE = 37.8 x 10^9 J

Explanation:

The energy required will increased the potential energy and increase the kinetic energy.

As the altitude change is fairly small compared to the earth radius, we can ASSUME that the average gravity will be a good representative

Gravity acceleration at altitude would be 9.8(6400²/8000²) = 6.272 m/s²

G(avg) = (9.8 + 6.272)/2 = 8.036 m/s²

ΔPE = mG(avg)Δh = 1000(8.036)(8e6 - 6.4e6) = 12.857e9 J

The centripetal force at orbit must be equal to the gravity force

mv²/R = mg'

v²/8.0e6 = 6.272

v² = (6.272(8.0e6)) = 50.2e6 m²/s²

The maximum velocity when resting on earth at the equator is about 460 m/s.

The change in kinetic energy is

ΔKE = ½m(vf² - vi²)(1000)

ΔKE = ½(1000)(50.2e6 - 460²) = 25e9 J

Total energy increase is

25e9 + 12.857e9 = 37.8e9 J

The weight of an object is measured in air to be 7.0 N. The
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Buoyant force = 3.0 N

The object will not float.

Explanation:

Apparent weight of a body immersed in water is the actual weight of object minus buoyant force

Given in the question that;

Weight of object in air = 7.0 N

Apparent weight of object = 4.0 N

4.0 N = 7.0 N - Buoyant force

Buoyant force = 7.0 - 4.0 = 3.0 N

In this case, the buoyant force is less than weight of the object thus the object will sink.

Gravity is the force that pulls you down.
(This is kind of a duh! question ... How do we know
which way is "down" ?  We feel gravity, and we call
that the "down" direction.)

Magnetic force holds things to fridge doors.

Contact forces need to touch something in order to
exert their force.
Example:  Gravity is NOT a contact force.

I don't know about "rubbing things away".
This might be a description of friction, but if so,
it's not a good one.

Buoyant force is what keeps floating things floating.

Air resistance slows things down when they move in air.

What did physicist James Joule's famous paddle wheel experiment demonstrate?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

<u>Answer </u>

A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water


<u>Explanation</u>

James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.

The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.

From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.
