A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. While the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) and main engines only work together during

the first 2 minutes of flight, the main engines operate for a total of 8.5 minutes after the launch. Once the SRBs are released, the main engines alone accelerate the rocket from about 1341 m/s to 7600 m/s.
What is the acceleration of the SRB and main engine during the first 2.0 minutes of flight?

A. 52 m/s2
B. 13 m/s2
C. 9.8 m/s2
D. 11 m/s2

A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).

A rocket ship has several engines and thrusters. We can divide its initial movement into 2 parts:

  • From t = 0 min to t = 2.0 min, the SRB and the main engines act together and the speed goes from 0 m/s (rest) to 1341 m/s.
  • From t = 2.0 min to t = 8.5 min, the main engines alone accelerate the ship form 1341 m/s to 7600 m/s.

We want to know the acceleration in the first part (first 2.0 minutes). We need to consider that:

  • The speed increases from 0 m/s to 1341 m/s.
  • The time elpased is 2.0 min.
  • 1 min = 60 s.

The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is:

a = \frac{\Delta v }{t} ) \frac{(1341m/s-0m/s)}{2.0min} \times \frac{1min}{60s}  = 11 m/s^{2}

A rocket ship is accelerated by the SRB and the main engines for 2.0 minutes and the main engines for 8.5 minutes after the launch. The acceleration of the ship during the first 2.0 minutes is 11 m/s² (D).

How did Niels Bohr change the atomic model based on his experimental results?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: Find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Bohr postulated that :

1.) Electrons revolve in specific circular orbits around the nucleus and these orbits can be represented by the letters K, L, M, N.

2.) Electrons revolving in a particular orbit are in a stationary state. They can neither gain energy nor loose energy. 3.) But if an electron jumps from an higher orbit to a lower orbit it will emit energy in the form of radiations. Also if an electron jumps from lower orbit to a higher orbit it excites and absorbs energy in the form of radiations.

4.) Neil Bohr experimental findings about angular momentum of an electron shows more light on the stability of atom and the line spectrum of hydrogen atom

The internal energy of nmoles of an ideal gas depends on a. one state variable T.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Correct option a. one state variable T.

Explanation:

In the case of an ideal gas it is shown that internal energy depends exclusively on temperature, since in an ideal gas any interaction between the molecules or atoms that constitute it is neglected, so that internal energy is only kinetic energy, which depends Only of the temperature. This fact is known as Joule's law.

The internal energy variation of an ideal gas (monoatomic or diatomic) between two states A and B is calculated by the expression:

ΔUAB = n × Cv × (TB - TA)

Where n is the number of moles and Cv the molar heat capacity at constant volume. Temperatures must be expressed in Kelvin.

An ideal gas will suffer the same variation in internal energy (ΔUAB) as long as its initial temperature is TA and its final temperature TB, according to Joule's Law, whatever the type of process performed.

A soccer player is running at a constant speed of 1.8 m/s when she speeds up in the same direction with an acceleration of 0.50
lawyer [7]

Answer:

3.6 m/s

Explanation:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

v² = (1.8 m/s)² + 2 (0.50 m/s²) (10.0 m)

v = 3.6 m/s
