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.

Rockets do indeed accelerate in the vacuum of space, something that has been possible for an extended period.

Response: Option D

Clarification:

A rocket's design aims to reach its destination by consuming fuel onboard. Hence, external forces are not necessary for motion in space. According to Newton's third law, action and reaction forces propel rockets free from Earth's gravity.

The remaining thrust needed for the rocket's journey in space comes from the combustion of fuel in its chambers. The fuel's combustion in designated compartments propels the rockets onward. Therefore, the belief that space exploration was impossible previously due to lack of propulsion mechanisms is a complete misconception.

the flow energy of 124 L/min of a fluid passing a boundary to a system is 108.5 kJ/min. Determine the pressure at this point
serg [3582]

Answer:

The pressure measured at this moment is 0.875 mPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Flow energy = 124 L/min

Boundary to system P= 108.5 kJ/min

P=1.81\ kW

We are tasked with finding the pressure here

Applying the pressure formula

P=F\times v

P=A_{1}P_{1}\times v_{1}

Here, A_{1}v_{1}=Q_{1}

Where, v refers to velocity

Insert the values into the equation

1.81 =P_{1}\times0.124\times\dfrac{1}{60}

P_{1}=\dfrac{1.81\times60}{0.124}

P_{1}=875.80\ kPa

P_{1}=0.875\ mPa

Therefore, the pressure at this moment is 0.875 mPa

Two electrodes, separated by a distance d, in a vacuum are maintained at a constant potential difference. An electron, accelerat
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance between the electrodes is denoted as d.

The kinetic energy of the electron is represented as Ek when the electrodes are positioned at a distance of "d" apart.

Our goal is to determine the kinetic energy when they are separated by a distance of d/3.

K.E = ½mv²

It’s important to note that the mass remains constant; only velocity varies.

Additionally,

K.E = Work done by the electron

K.E = F × d

K.E = W = ma × d

Assuming constant acceleration

Hence, m and a are fixed,

therefore,

K.E is directly related to d

Thus, as d increases, K.E increases, and conversely, when d decreases, K.E decreases.

Consequently,

K.E_1 / d_1 = K.E_2 / d_2

With K.E_1 equating to E_k

and d_1 being d

while d_2 is represented as d/3

This leads to K.E_2 = K.E_1 / d_1 × d_2

Thus, K.E_2 = E_k × ⅓d / d

Finally,

K.E_2 = ⅓E_k

Therefore, the resultant kinetic energy is one third of the original E_k

The resulting motion can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem, as the two components (north and east) are at right angles. To find the direction, trigonometry is applied, yielding Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

In order for the ball to be able to make a complete circle around the peg, there must be sufficient speed at the top of its arc
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T represent the tension in the swing.

At the peak mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

where v denotes the velocity needed to maintain the circular motion.

r equals the distance from the rotation point to the center of the ball, which is L+\frac{d}{2} (with d being the ball's diameter).

The threshold velocity can be expressed as mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}

To determine the velocity at the bottom, we can use energy conservation principles at both the top and bottom positions.

At the top E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}

Energy at the bottom E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

By comparing the two states using conservation of energy, we find v_0^2=4gr+gr

v_0^2=5gr

v_0=\sqrt{5gr}

v_0=\sqrt{5g\left ( \frac{d}{2}+L\right )}
