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

lukranit [14]

Answer: option 1 : the electric potential will decrease with an increase in y

Explanation: The electric potential (V) is related to distance (in this case y) by the formulae below

V = kq/y

Where k = 1/4πε0

Where V = electric potential,

k = electric constant = 9×10^9,

y = distance of potential relative to a reference point, ε0 = permittivity of free space

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609×10^-19 c

From the formulae, we can see that q and k are constants, only potential (V) and distance (y) are variables.

We have that

V = k/y

We see the potential(V) is inversely proportional to distance (y).

This implies that an increase in distance results to a decreasing potential and a decrease in distance results to an increase in potential.

This fact makes option 1 the correct answer

Two substances, M and N, have specific heats c and 2c. if heats Q and 4Q are supɔlied to Mand N, respectively, their changes in
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

If the mass of B is m and the temperature change is the same, the mass of B will be 2m.

Explanation:

Q = mcT

T = mc/Q

M = 4Q/2cT........... (1)

T = Q/mc

Plug this in equation 1.

M = 4Q/(2c × Q/mc)  = 4Q ÷ 2Q/m  = 4Q × m/2Q = 2m

A device consisting of four heavy balls connected by low-mass rods is free to rotate about an axle. It is initially not spinning
zubka84 [21]

The angular speed of the device is 1.03 rad/s.

<h3>What is the conservation of angular momentum?</h3>

A spinning system's ability to conserve angular momentum ensures that its spin will not change until it is subjected to an external torque; to put it another way, the rotation's speed will not change as long as the net torque is zero.

Using the conservation of angular momentum

L_{i}=L_{f}

Here,  = the system's angular momentum before the collision

L_{i} = 0 + mv

= (0.005)(450)(0.752)

= 1.692 kgm²/s

The moment of inertia of the system is given by

I = 2(M₁R₁² + M₂R₂²)+ mR₁²

= 2[(1.2)(0.8)² +(0.5)(0.3)²]+0.005(0.8)²

= 1.6292 kgm²

Here,  = Iω

So,

1.692 = 1.6292(ω)

ω = 1.03 rad/s
