Colonel John P. Stapp, USAF, participated in studying whether a jet pilot could survive emergency ejection. On March 19, 1954, h

e rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved down a track at a speed of 632 mi/h. He and the sled were safely brought to rest in 1.40 s.

we assume the acceleration is constant. we choose the initial and final points 1.40s apart, bracketing the slowing-down process. then we have a straightforward problem about a particle under constant acceleration. the initial velocity is v xi ​ =632mi/h=632mi/h( 1mi 1609m ​ )( 3600s 1h ​ )=282m/s (a) taking v xf ​ =v xi ​ +a x ​ t with v xf ​ =0 a x ​ = t v xf ​ −v xf ​ ​ = 1.40s 0−282m/s ​ =−202m/s 2 this has a magnitude of approximately 20g (b) similarly x f ​ −x i ​ = 2 1 ​ (v xi ​ +v xf ​ )t= 2 1 ​ (282m/s+0)(1.40s)=198m

One barometer tube has twice the cross-sectional area of another. mercury in the smaller tube will rise _____.
Andreas93 [3]
The answer is "the same than the mercury in the bigger tube".

If one barometer tube has twice the cross-sectional area of another, mercury in the smaller tube will rise the same than the mercury in the bigger tube.

The mercury will rise to the point where the column of mercury has the same weight as the force exerted by the atmosphere.

The force exerted by the atmosphere is pressure * cross-sectional area

Anf the weight of the column of mercury, W, will be:

W = m* g

where m = density * volume, and volume = cross-sectional area * height

=> W = density * cross-sectional area * height

Then,  you make W = F and get:

density * cross-sectional area * height = P * cross-sectional area

The term cress-sectional area appears on both sides so it gets cancelled, and the height of the column of mercury does not depend on the cross-sectional area of the barometer.

If energy is absorbed because chemical reaction is ______.
melomori [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The reaction is <u>D. endothermic</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Absorption or need of energy from surroundings is called endothermic process. Heat is the major common form of energy which is absorbed in this process.  In this process, enthaply of reactant is less than the product.

For example, an ice cube placed in the hand for some time starts to melt and it takes energy in the form of heat from the hand. This process always requires energy because of the breaking of existing and formation of new chemical bonds.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find electric field at origin due to two given charges sitting   on the either side of origin .

Total field will add up due to their same direction .

Field due to a charge Q

= 9 x 10⁹ x Q / R²  ;  R is distance of point , Q is charge

Field due to first charge

= 9 x 10⁹ x 40 x 10⁻³ / 2² x 10⁻⁴

= 90 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Field due to second  charge

= 9 x 10⁹ x 50 x 10⁻³ / 2² x 10⁻⁴

= 112.5 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Total field

= 202.5 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Force on given charge at origin

= charge x field

= 4 x 10⁻³ x 202.5 x 10¹⁰

= 810 x 10⁷ N .
