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.

Which can be observed both on Earth and in an accelerating ship in space that is free from the effect of any gravitational field
Reil [10]

Answer:

  • apples falling from trees
  • people's feet touching the ground
  • sky divers moving toward the ground  
  • balls bending downward after being thrown​

Explanation:

When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.

This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.

Consider 3.5 kg of austenite containing 0.95 wt% c and cooled to below 727°c (1341°f). (a) what is the proeutectoid phase? (b) h
vladimir2022 [97]
A. The proeutectoid phase is Fe₃c because 0.95 wt/c  is greater than the eutectoid composition which is 0.76 wt/c

b.  We determine how much total territe and cementite form, we apply the lever rule expressions yields.
Wx = (fe₃c-co/cfe₃ c-cx = 6.70- 0.95/6.70- 0.022 = 0.86
The total cementite
Wfe₃C = 10-Cx/ Cfe₃c -Cx = 0.95 - 0.022/6.70 - 0.022 = 0.14
The total cementite which is formed is 
(0.14) × (3.5kg) = 0.49kg

c.  We calculate the pearule and the procutectoid phase which cementite form the equation
Ci = 0.95 wt/c
Wp = 6.70 -ci/6.70 - 0.76 = 6.70 -0.95/6.70 - 0.76 = 0.97
0.97 corresponds to mass.
W fe₃ C¹ = Ci - 0.76/5.94 = 0.03
∴ It is equivalent to 
(0.03) × (3.5) = 0.11kg of total of 3.5kg mass.

While spinning down from 500 rpm to rest, a flywheel does 3.9 kj of work. this flywheel is in the shape of a solid uniform disk
Ksivusya [100]

 

The answer is 4.0 kg since the flywheel comes to rest the kinetic energy of the wheel in motion is spent doing the work. Using the formula KE = (1/2) I w².

Given the following:

I =  the moment of inertia about the axis passing through the center of the wheel; w = angular velocity ; for the solid disk as I = mr² / 2 so KE = (1/4) mr²w². Now initially, the wheel is spinning at 500 rpm so w = 500 * (2*pi / 60) rad / sec = 52.36 rad / sec.

The radius = 1.2 m and KE = 3900 J

3900 J = (1/4) m (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3900 J / (0.25) (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3.95151 ≈ 4.00 kg

Light has been measured as traveling at 3×108 m/s in a vacuum. Which of the following also travels at the speed of light, and wh
Art [367]

Radio waves in a vacuum travel at the speed of light because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation like a light has been measured as traveling at 3×10^8 m/s in a vacuum.

Charged particles that are accelerating, like time-varying electric currents, are what produce radio waves. Radio and television signals are transmitted using radio waves, and microwaves used in radar and microwave ovens are also radio waves. Radio waves are emitted by a lot of celestial bodies, including pulsars. High RF exposure levels have the potential to heat biological tissue and raise body temperature. The body's inability to handle or remove the extra heat that could be generated by high RF exposure in humans could result in tissue damage.
