v = 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law can be expressed in terms of the object's momentum, in this case the expelled exhaust gases, as

F = \dfrac{d{p}}{d{t}} (1)

Assuming that the velocity remains constant then

F = \dfrac{d}{dt}(mv) = v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

Solving for v, we get

v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;(2)

Before we plug in the given values, we need to convert them first to their appropriate units:

The thrust <em>F</em><em> </em> is

F = 7.5×10^6\:\text{lbs}×\dfrac{4.45\:\text{N}}{1\:\text{lb}} = 3.34×10^7\:\text{N}

The exhaust rate dm/dt is

\dfrac{dm}{dt} = 15\dfrac{T}{s}×\dfrac{2000\:\text{lbs}}{1\:\text{T}}×\dfrac{1\:\text{kg}}{2.2\:\text{lbs}}

\;\;\;\;\;= 1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}

Therefore, the velocity at which the exhaust gases exit the engines is

v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)} = \dfrac{3.34×10^7\:\text{N}}{1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}}

\;\;\;= 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}

water has an index of refraction of 1.33. What is the critical angle for light leaving a pool of water into air? 0 37 90 49
vesna_86 [32]
When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index into a medium with lower refractive index, there is a maximum angle (called critical angle) for which all the light is reflected, so there is no refraction.

The value of the critical angle is given by:
\theta = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
when n1 is the refractive index of the first medium, while n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In our case, n1=1.33 (the water) and n1=1.00 (the air). Putting numbers in, we get
\theta = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.33} )=49^{\circ}

How would you use Tectonic plate and hot spot in the same sentence
Sonbull [250]
It's kinda long but...
A tectonic setting where volcanic action occurs is called <span>a </span>hot-spot (intraplate<span>), which describes volcanic activity that occurs </span>within tectonic plates<span> and is generally NOT related to plate boundaries and plate movements.
</span>Hope this helps!!:)
