For years, space travel was believed to be impossible because there was nothing there Rockets could push off in space in order t

o provide the propulsion necessary to accelerate this inability to provide propulsion is because..
a) a space is a void of air so the rockets have nothing to push off.
b) gravity is absent in space.

c)a space is a void of wit so there is no air resistance in space.

d) nonsense! rockets do accelerate in space and have been able to do so for a long time.

Because rockets do accelerate in space and have been able to do so for a long time.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

A rocket is made to reach the sky and its required destination by the burning of fuels in the rocket. So there is no need of any other external forces to propel them in space. As per Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces will help the rockets to escape the orbit of earth.

And then the remaining energy required by the rocket to travel in space will be obtained from the burning of fuels in the compartments. This burning of fuels in respective compartments will propel the rockets in space. So it is a complete myth that space travel was impossible before because of inability to provide propulsion in space.

A 5.0-g marble is released from rest in the deep end of a swimming pool. An underwater video reveals that its terminal speed in
Temka [501]

Answer:

a) a = -g = 9.8 m/s² , b) a = 0 m/s² and c)   t1 = 0.0213 s

Explanation:

a) At the moment the marble is released its velocity is zero, so it has no resistance force, the only force acting is its weight, so the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity

       a = -g = 9.8 m / s²

b) When the marble goes its terminal velocity all forces have been equalized, therefore, the sum of them is zero and consequently if acceleration is also zero

      a = 0 m / s²

c) We have to assume a specific type of resistive force, for liquid in general the resistive force is proportional to the speed of the body.

The expression of this situation is

         v = mg / b (1 -e^{-bt/m} )

For a very long time the exponential is zero, so the terminal velocity is

        v_{T} = mg / b

        b = mg /  v_{T}

        b = 5 10-3 9.8 / 0.3

        b = 0.163

We already have all the data to calculate the time for v = ½ v_{T}

        ½ v_{T} = v_{T} (1 -e^{-bt/m})

        ½ = 1- e (- 0.163 t1 / 5 10-3)

        e (-32.6 t1) = 1-0.5              (by  ln())

       -32.6 t1 = ln 0.5

       t1 = -1 / 32.6 (-0.693)

       t1 = 0.0213 s

A small 175-g ball on the end of a light string is revolving uniformly on a frictionless surface in a horizontal circle of diame
BaLLatris [955]
For circular motion.

Centripetal acceleration = mv²/r = mω²r

Where v = linear velocity, r = radius = diameter/2 = 1/2 = 0.5m

m = mass = 175g = 0.175kg.

Angular speed, ω = Angle covered / time

                         = 2 revolutions / 1 second

                         = 2 * 2π  radians / 1 second

                         = 4π  radians / second

Centripetal Acceleration = mω²r = 0.175*(4π)² * 0.5    Use a calculator

                                                         ≈13.817  m/s²

The magnitude of acceleration ≈13.817  m/s² and it is directed towards the center of rotation.

Tension in the string = m*a

                                   = 0.175*13.817

                                   = 2.418 N

A sample of a gas occupies a volume of 90 mL at 298 K and a pressure of 702 mm Hg. What is the correct expression for calculatin
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

volume of sample V_1=90\ mL

Temperature T_1=298\ K

Pressure P_1=702\ mm\ of\ Hg

for different conditions

Temperature T_2=273\ K

Pressure P_2=760\ mm\ of\ Hg

suppose V_2 is the volume of sample

Using ideal gas equation

PV=nRT

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

\frac{702\times 90}{298}=\frac{760\times V_2}{273}

V_2=76.15\ mL

A 7.0-kilogram cart, A, and a 3.0-kilogram cart, B, are initially held together at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. W
7nadin3 [17]
For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>

A 3-cm high object is in front of a thin lens. The object distance is 4 cm and the image distance is –8 cm. (a) What is the foca
xenn [34]

Answer:

a) Focal length of the lens is 8 cm which is a convex lens

b) 6 cm

c) The lens is a convex lens and produces a virtual image which is upright and two times larger than the object.

Explanation:

u = Object distance =  4 cm

v = Image distance = -8 cm

f = Focal length

Lens Equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{-8}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{8}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{8}{1}=-8\ cm

a) Focal length of the lens is 8 cm which is a convex lens

Magnification

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{-8}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=2

b) Height of image is 2×3 = 6 cm

Since magnification is positive the image upright

c) The lens is a convex lens and produces a virtual image which is upright and two times larger than the object.
