if the pointy thingy in your compass is pointing north, that means it's being (pulled toward) something near Earth's north pole

A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 150 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. It is loaded with 600

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

$v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The speed of the rocket is given the Tsiolkovsky's differential equation, whose solution is:

$v (t) = v_{o} - v_{ex}\cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}$

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the rocket, in m/s.

$v_{ex}$ - Exhaust gas speed, in m/s.

$m_{o}$ - Initial total mass of the rocket, in kg.

$m$ - Current total mass of the rocket, in kg.

Let assume that fuel is burned linearly. So that,

$m(t) = m_{o} + r\cdot t$

The initial total mass of the rocket is:

$m_{o} = 750\,kg$

The fuel consumption rate is:

$r = -\frac{600\,kg}{30\,s}$

$r = -20\,\frac{kg}{s}$

The function for the current total mass of the rocket is:

$m(t) = 750\,kg - (20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t$

The speed function of the rocket is:

$v(t) = - 2500\,\frac{m}{s}\cdot \ln \frac{750\,kg -(20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t}{750\,kg}$

The speed of the rocket at given instants are:

$v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}$

A train travels a distance of 2000 km at an average speed of 120 km per hour. How long did the trip take? SHOW WORK

Igoryamba

S = d/t, s = 120, d = 2000, t = ?
Input the values,
120 = 2000/t
Make t the subject of the formula by cross multiplying, Therefore,
120t = 2000
Divide both sides by 120
t = 16.7hrs to 1 decimal place.
If you're asked to convert it, you can.

What are visible colors of light has the longest wavelength?

sasho [114]

Answer:

Red has the longest wavelength among all the visible colors of light.

Explanation:

Visible light is the only electromagnetic radiations which can be seen by human eye. When white visible light passes through a prism it breaks down into 7 distinctive colors of rainbow.

These are red, orange, yellow, green blue, indigo and violet.

Red has the longest wavelength of around 700 nano meters with violet has the shortest wavelength of 380 nano meters.

A series R-L-C circuit is connected to a 70.0 Hz ac source that has Vrms = 80.0 V . The circuit has a resistance of 80.0 Ω and a

Andreyy89

Answer:

62.7 VA

Explanation:

The apparent power (power supplied by the source) of an AC circuit is determined by

$S = \frac{(Vrms)^2}{Z}$

The impedance(Z) depends on the frequency, but in this case it is given to us that it is 102 ohms at this frequency.

So:

$S = \frac{(80 V)^2}{102 \Omega} = 62.7 VA$
