You are traveling on a plane trip from Washington, D.C. to Cleveland, Ohio and the plane uses 1,260 MJ/passenger trip. If you ma

de the trip by car it would take 18 gallons/passenger trip. There are 142 MJ in a gallon of kerosene, a type of jet fuel. How many gallons of kerosene does it take to make the trip by plane?

Answer:

8.87 gallons of kerosene

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Energy to travel by plane per passenger trip: 1,260 MJ/passenger trip
  • Energy per gallon of kerosene: 142 MJ/gal

Step 2: Calculate how many gallons of kerosene it takes to make the trip by plane

We can calculate the amount of kerosene required by combining the factor provided in Step 1.

1 gal/142 MJ × 1,260 MJ/passenger trip = 8.87 gal/passenger trip

8.87 gallons of kerosene are required to make the trip by plane.

If the index of refraction of a medium is 1.4, determine the speed of light in that medium.
Damm [24]

The speed of light in that medium is 2.14 \times 10^8 \ m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is known that the light's speed is constant when it travels in vacuum and the value is 3 \times 108 m/s. When the light enters another medium other than vacuum, its speed get decreased as the light gets refracted by an angle.

The amount of refraction can be determined by the index of refraction or refractive index of the medium. The refraction index is measured as the ratios of speed of light in vacuum to that in the medium. It is represented as  η = \frac {c}{v}

So, here η is the index of refraction of a medium which is given as 1.4, c is the light's speed in vacuum (3 \times 10^8 ms^-^1) and v is the light's speed in that medium which we need to find.

1.4=  \frac{(3 \times 10 ^ 8)} {v}

v=  \frac {(3 \times 10^8)}{1.4} =2.14 \times 10^8 \ m/s

Thus the speed of light in that medium is 2.14 \times 10^8 \ m/s.

after a cannonball is fired into frictionless space, the amount of force needed to keep it going equals​
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force.  With no friction in space to unbalance the cannonball, it will continue to keep going.

The net force experienced by an object is increased. What affect does this have on the acceleration of the object?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
