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.

What derived unit is used to measure the slope of the line in this graph?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

C. g/cm³

Explanation:

The slope is measured by calculating the variation of the Y values over the X values between two points on a line.  

So, the formula is: Slope = Δy/Δx

That means that we also take the units.

In this case, the Y-axis unit is in g, while the X-axis unit is in cm³.

Dividing a Y-variation over an X-variation will give you g/cm³.

In this case, let's assume the line passes through (10,100) (not exactly, but close enough for the example), and it passes through (0,0)

So the slope would be: (100-0) g / (10-0) cm³ = 10 g/cm³

A 3 kg stone is dropped from a height of 4 m what is its momentum as it strikes the ground
Vitek1552 [10]

Okay first you have to recognize that the maximum Gravitational potential energy will equal the maximum kinetic energy. The maximum GPE will equal when the stone is at its highest point and the max KE will be right before the stone hits the ground. So

GPE max = KE max

mgh = 1/2mv^2

Mass cancels as it is on both sides

gh = 1/2v^2

Multiply by 2

2gh = v^2

Square root

v = √2gh

Now plug in

v = √2(9.8)(4)

v = 8.85 m/s

Now use the mass to calculate the momentum just before it hits the ground as this is the speed right before it hits the ground

p = mv

p = (3)(8.85)

p = 26.55 kgm/s
