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.

Answer:a

Explanation:

Because its has to use tihs potential energy to overcome the atmosphere so the shuttle will not go back down

At t = 0, object A is dropped from the roof of a building. At the same instant, object B is dropped from a window 10 m below the
dsp73

Answer:

Explanation:

Given two objects are dropped simultaneously

Object A is 10 m higher than object B therefore

Distance covered by object A is given by

y_a(t) is given by

y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

y_a(t)=0+0.5gt^2--1

for object B

y_b(t)=0+0.5gt^2--2

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

y_a(t)-y_b(t)=0

i.e. they will travel equal distance in equal time and distance between them remain 10 m until object B hits the ground

Consider a uniformly charged sphere of radius Rand total charge Q. The electric field Eout outsidethe sphere (r≥R) is simply tha
AlexFokin [52]

1) Electric potential inside the sphere: \frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})

2) Ratio Vcenter/Vsurface: 3/2

3) Find graph in attachment

Explanation:

1)

The electric field inside the sphere is given by

E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}

where

\epsilon_0=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m is the vacuum permittivity

Q is the charge on the sphere

R is the radius of the sphere

r is the distance from the centre at which we compute the field

For a radial field,

E(r)=-\frac{dV(r)}{dr}

Therefore, we can find the potential at distance r by integrating the expression for the electric field. Calculating the difference between the potential at r and the potential at R,

V(R)-V(r)=-\int\limits^R_r  E(r)dr=-\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}\int r dr = \frac{-Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}(R^2-r^2)

The potential at the surface, V(R), is that of a point charge, so

V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}

Therefore we can find the potential inside the sphere, V(r):

V(r)=V(R)+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}+\frac{-Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}(R^2-r^2)=\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})

2)

At the center,

r = 0

Therefore the potential at the center of the sphere is:

V(r)=\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})\\V(0)=\frac{3Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}

On the other hand, the potential at the surface is

V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}

Therefore, the ratio V(center)/V(surface) is:

\frac{V(0)}{V(R)}=\frac{\frac{3Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}}{\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}}=\frac{3}{2}

3)

The graph of V versus r can be found in attachment.

We observe the following:

- At r = 0, the value of the potential is \frac{3}{2}V(R), as found in part b) (where V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R})

- Between r and R, the potential decreases as -\frac{r^2}{R^2}

- Then at r = R, the potential is V(R)

- Between r = R and r = 3R, the potential decreases as \frac{1}{R}, therefore when the distance is tripled (r=3R), the potential as decreased to 1/3 (\frac{1}{3}V(R))

A high diver of mass 51.7 kg steps off a board 10.0 m above the water and falls vertical to the water, starting from rest. If he
zmey [24]

Answer:

851.33 N

Explanation:

Using newton;s equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gh ......... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height

Given: u = 0 m/s(from rest), h = 10 m g = 9.8 m/s².

Substitute into equation 1

v² = 0² + 2(9.8)(10)

v² = 196

v = √196

v = 14 m/s.

Note: As the Diver touches the water,  u = 14 m/s and v = 0 m/s( stopped)

Using,

d = (v+u)t/2 .............. equation 2

Where d = distance moved by the diver in water before its motion stopped, t = time taken before it comes to rest

Given: v = 0 m/s, u = 14 m/s t = 2.10 s

Substitute into equation 2

d = (0+14)2.1/2

d = 14.7 m.

Finally

work done by the water to stop the diver = potential energy of the diver

F×d = mgh'................Equation 3

Where F = force of the diver in water, d = distance of the diver in the water, m = mass of the diver, g = acceleration due to gravity, h' = height of the diver from the point of fall to the point where he comes to rest

making F the subject of the equation,

F = mgh/d ............ Equation 4

Given: m = 51.7 kg, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s², d = 14.7 m.

Substitute into equation 4

F = 51.7(10+14.7)(9.8)/14.7

F = 851.33 N

Hence the upward force the water exert on her = 851.33 N
