We can answer this question by looking at Newton's second law:

F=ma

which can be rewritten as

a=\frac{F}{m}

where F is the force experienced by the rocket, m is its mass, a is its acceleration. In the rocket's case, the mass of the rocket decreases (because the fuel in the tank decreases), while the force remains constant, so the ratio F/m increases, and therefore the acceleration of the rocket increases.

Therefore, the correct answer is

D - The acceleration increases because the mass decreases.

Briefly explain how a resonance tube works​
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

As the tines of the tuning fork vibrate at their own natural frequency, they created sound waves that impinge upon the opening of the resonance tube. These impinging sound waves produced by the tuning fork force air inside of the resonance tube to vibrate at the same frequency.

When light moves from air to glass, part of the light is reflected and part of it is refracted. In the image, which ray shows re
marissa [1.9K]
You have not provided the diagram, therefore, I cannot provide an exact answer.
However, I will try to help by explaining how to solve this problem.

When light moves from air to glass:
1- part of the light is reflected back into the air where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
2- part of the light enters the water and refracts. The angle of refraction can be calculated using Snell's law.

In a diagram, the reflected ray would be the one getting back into air while the refracted ray would be the one entering the water.

You can check the attached diagram for further illustrations.

Hope this helps :)

An atom of arsenic has how many electron-containing orbitals
irina [24]

Answer:

The Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals. The orbitals s, p and d.

Explanation:

Arsenic is an element with an atomic number equal of 33, it means that it has 33 electrons in its orbitals in the following way:

1s^{2}

2s^{2}

2p^{6}

3s^{2}

3p^{6}

3d^{10}

4s^{2}

4p^{3}

Therefore, the Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals (s, p d).

Help me with this physics math?
solong [7]
Ok. PEMDAS tells us to take care of the square first. When we do that, the denominator becomes

(6.4)^2 x 10^12

= 40.96 x 10^12 .

Now it's just a matter of mashing out the fraction.

The 'mantissa' (the number part) is

6/40.96 = 0.1465

and the order of magnitude is

10^24 / 10^12 = 10^12 .

Put it all together and you've got

1.465 x 10^11 .
