Answer:

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is

C

3 cm

RI=apparent depthreal depth

Substituting, 34=apparentdepth12

Therefore, apparent depth=412×3=9

The height by which it appears to be raised is 12−9=3cm

A rocket for use in deep space is to have the capability of boosting a total load (payload plus the rocket frame and engine) of
choli [55]

Answer:

<em>13.54 tons</em>

Explanation:

Let f be the amount of fuel oxidizer needed

v be the speed

The relationship between them is inverse in nature i.e

f ∝ 1/v

f = k/v

If a rocket for use in deep space is to have the capability of boosting a total load (payload plus the rocket frame and engine) of 3.25 metric tons to a speed of 10,000 m/s, then f = 3.25 when v  = 10,000

Substitute and get k

k = fv

k = 3.25 * 10,000

k = 32500

To get the amount of fuel oxidizer required to produce a speed of 2400m/s, we will find f when v = 2400m/s

Recall that f = k/v

f = 32500/2400

f = 13.54 metric tons

<em>Hence the fuel plus oxidizer that will be required is 13.54 tons</em>
