Answer:

Florida's Cape Canaveral was central to the US victory in the space race. An isolated air force base was in Cape Canaveral near the ocean. This location allowed NASA scientists to test rockets freely.

About once every 30 minutes, a geyser known as Old Faceful projects water 11.0 m straight up into the air. Use g = 9.80 m/s^2, a

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 30 minutes

Distance = 11.0 m

Pressure = 101.3 kPa

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

We need to calculate the speed of the water

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2gs$

Where, u = speed of water

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Put the value into the formula

$0=u^2-2\times9.8\times11.0$

$u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times11.0}$

$u=14.68\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

A student sits at rest on a piano stool that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the student-stool system is 4

irina [24]

Here We can use principle of angular momentum conservation

Here as we know boy + projected mass system has no external torque

Since there is no torque so we can say the angular momentum is conserved

$mvL = (I + mL^2)\omega$

now we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 2.5 m/s

L = 0.35 m

I = 4.5 kg-m^2

now plug in all values in above equation

$2\times 2.5 \times 0.35 = (4.5 + (2\times 0.35^2))\omega$

$1.75 = [4.5 + 0.245]\omega$

$1.75 = 4.745\omega$

$\omega = 0.37 rad/s$

so the final angular speed will be 0.37 rad/s

an empty boat floats in water with 10% of its volume submerged. and when it is loaded with 1200kg , the volume submerged will in

Lostsunrise [7]

Let volume of empty boat be = 100% = 1V

and mass of boat be M

In water 10%, 0.1V of the volume is submerged.

Mass, m of 1200kg increases the submerging from 10%, 0.1V to 70%, 0.7V

M leads to 0.1V boat submerging

boat submerging.

M + 1200kg leads to 0.7V boat submerging.

This is 60%, 0.6 V increase

By comparison

(M+1200kg) * 0.1V = 0.7V * M

0.1M + 120kg = 0.7M

120kg = 0.7M - 0.1M

120kg = 0.6M

M = (120/0.6)kg

M = 200kg.

The mass of the boat is 200kg.

Compare physical changes and chemical changes

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring. In order for a reaction to take place, there must be a change in the elemental composition of the substance in question. Thus, we shall simply refer to physical "reactions" as physical changes from now on.

Explanation:

Physical changes are limited to changes that result in a difference in display without changing the composition. Some common changes (but not limited to) are:

Texture

Color

Temperature

Shape

Change of State (Boiling Point and Melting Point are significant factors in determining this change.)

Physical properties include many other aspects of a substance. The following are (but not limited to) physical properties.

Luster

Malleability

Ability to be drawn into a thin wire

Density

Viscosity

Solubility

Mass

Volume
