When a space shuttle takes off, the chemical reactions of the fuel give the shuttle the kinetic energy to leave Earth's atmosphe

re as shown in the figure below. The kinetic energy of the space shuttle is less than the potential energy of the fuel used. Which statement best explains this idea?
A.) The potential energy is used to overcome Earth’s gravity.

B.) The potential energy is also converted to light, thermal energy, and sound energy.

C.) The potential energy must be consumed to make the fuel burn.

D.) The potential energy is destroyed by the warmth of the reaction.

I need to know the correct answer please ?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

675 Pa.

Explanation:

F = 5+2cos(15t) kN

Area (a) = 8*10-3 m2

Now at t =4 sec

            F= 5+2cos(60)

             = 5+2*0.5

              = 6  kN

Now ,force efficiency is 90%.

Hence,the effectively transmitted force,

            Fe = 0.90*6

                = 5.4 kN

Hence,pressure is given as,

            P = Fe/a

                = 5.4*10^3/(8 *10^-3))

              P = 675 Pa....answer

A solid sphere of uniform density has a mass of 3.0 × 104 kg and a radius of 1.0 m. What is the magnitude of the gravitational f
elena55 [62]

Answer:

a) Fg = 9.495x10⁻⁶N

b) Fg = 3.908x10⁻⁶N

c)

F_{g} =\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}R  }{r^{3} }

Explanation:

Given:

m₁ = mass = 3x10⁴kg

r = radius = 1 m

m₂ = 9.3 kg

Questions:

a) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force due to the sphere located at R = 1.4 m, Fg = ?

b) What is the magnitude of the gravitational force due to the sphere located at R= 0.21 m, Fg = ?

c) Write a general expression for the magnitude of the gravitational force on the particle at a distance r ≤ 1.0 m from the center of the sphere.

a) Since R > r, the equation for the gravitational force is:

F_{g} =\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}  }{R^{2} }

Here,

G = gravitational constant = 6.67x10⁻¹¹m³/s² kg

Substituting values:

F_{g} =\frac{6.67x10^{-11}*3x10^{4}*9.3  }{1.4^{2} } =9.495x10^{-6} N

b) Since R < r, the equation for the gravitational force is:

F_{g} =\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}R  }{r^{3} } =\frac{6.67x10^{-11}*3x10^{4}*9.3*0.21  }{1^{3} } =3.908x10^{-6} N

c) The general expression for the magnitude of the gravitational force on the particle at a distance r ≤ 1.0 is the same to b)

F_{g} =\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}  R}{r^{3} }

Discuss what in particular makes the light bulb a non-ohmic resistor. Specifically, how does temperature affect resistance? Can
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

the loss of energy due to the Joule effect is the cause of the non-ohmic characteristic of the bulb

Explanation:

A resistance is formed of some type of metal, in a light bulb it is Tungsten, which for low current is a resistance that complies with the ohm law.

When the value of the current is increased the shock of the electors creates a Joule effect, which heats the metal, these shocks are due to atomic imperfections of the structure, this heating creates a loss of energy of the system that causes the characteristic to be lost linear between the voltage and the current, since the total energy balance must be preserved.

An approximate measure of the energy that is emitted is given by Stefan's law.

In short, the loss of energy due to the Joule effect is the cause of the non-ohmic characteristic of the bulb
