A rocket blasts off from the Earth's surface. During the initial phase of flight, the engine of the rocket burns fuel at a rate

α, which creates thrust by expelling exhaust gas downward with velocity β relative to the velocity of the rocket. The thrust from the engine provides an additional upward force on the rocket of magnitude αβ. By Newton's 2nd Law, the equation governing the motion of the rocket while the rocket is burning fuel is

Answer:

αβ = Ma

Explanation:

By Newton's 2nd Law, the equation governing the motion of the rocket while the rocket is burning fuel is

αβ = Ma where  α = rocket's fuel burning rate, β = relative to the velocity of the rocket, M = instantaneous mass of the rocket and a = acceleration of rocket.

Naturally occurring element X exists in three isotopic forms: X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abund
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. 28.09 amu

Explanation:

The natural occurring element exist in 3 isotopic forms: namely X-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance),  X-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abundance) and  X-30 (29.974 amu, 3.10% abundance).

The atomic weight of elements depends on the isotopic abundance. If you know the fractional abundance and the mass of the isotopes the atomic weight can be computed.

The atomic weight is computed as follows:

atomic weight = mass of X-28 × fractional abundance + mass of X-29 × fractional abundance + mass of  X-30 × fractional abundance

atomic weight = 27.977 × 0.9223 + 28.976 × 0.0467 + 29.974 ×  0.0310

atomic weight = 25.8031871 + 1.3531792 + 0.929194

atomic weight = 28.0855603 amu

To 2 decimal place atomic weight = 28.09 amu

A hill that has a 15.5% grade is one that rises 15.5 m vertically for every 100.0 m of distance in the horizontal direction. At
Andreas93 [3]

The angle of incline of the hill above the horizontal is 8.81°.

Since the hill has a 15.5% grade is one that rises 15.5 m vertically for every 100.0 m of distance in the horizontal direction.

<h3>Tangent of the angle of the incline of the hill,</h3>

The tangent of the angle of the incline of the hill, Ф is

tanФ = vertical rise/horizontal distance = grade of hill

Now, the vertical rise = 15.5 m and the horizontal distance = 100.0 m

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

tanФ = vertical rise/horizontal run

tanФ = 15.5 m/100.0 m

tanФ = 0.155

<h3>Angle of incline of the hill</h3>

Taking inverse tan of both sides, we have

Ф = tan⁻¹(0.155)

Ф = 8.81°

So, the angle of incline of the hill above the horizontal is 8.81°.

which process was found after wegeners time, helped scientists find out how the continents actually move.
Genrish500 [490]
I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)
