Arocket is continuously firing its engines as t accelerates away from earth. for the first kilometer of its ascent, the mass of fuel ejected is small compared to the mass of the rocket. for this distance, which of the following indicates the changes, if any, in the kinetic energy of the rocket, the gravitational potential energy of the earth-rocket system, and the mechanicel energy of the earth-rocket system?

a. rocket kinetic energy-increasing system gravitational potential energy-increasing system mechanical energy-constant
b. rocket kinetic energy-decreasing. system gravitational potential energy-increasing sysem mechanical energy-constant
c. rocket kinetic energy-increasing system gravitational potential energy-decreasing sysem mechanical energy-decreasing
d. rocket kineic energy-increasing system gravitational potential energy nreasing syste mechanical energy-increasing

Which of the following harmful chemicals are found in tobacco smoke? a. carbon monoxide b. carbon dioxide c. nicotine b. carbon dioxide d. both a and c

Aplane flies a distance d from west to east at a constant speed vp , with respect to the air in a time twe . on the return trip, the plane flies a distance d from east to west at a constant speed vp , with respect to the air in a time tew . on both trips the wind blows from west to east at a constant speed va , with respect to the ground 1) what is tew in terms of vp, va, and d, as needed? tew=dvp tew=dvp+va tew=dva tew=dvpâ’va tew=12dvp tew=12dvp+va tew=12dvpâ’va your submissions: b submitted: saturday, january 26 at 6: 49 pm feedback: feedback will be given once all questions have been attempted and the grade cluster button has been pressed. 2) what is twe in terms of vp, va, and d, as needed? twe=dvp twe=dvp+va twe=dva twe=dvpâ’va twe=12dvp twe=12dvp+va twe=12dvpâ’va your submissions: d submitted: saturday, january 26 at 6: 49 pm feedback: feedback will be given once all questions have been attempted and the grade cluster button has been pressed. 3) assuming d = 2300 miles, vp = 400 miles/hr, and twe = 4 hours, what is va, the speed of the wind with respect to the ground? va = 100 miles/hr va = 575 miles/hr va = 200 miles/hr va = 175 miles/hr va = 975 miles/hr 4) once again, assuming d = 2300 miles, vp = 400 miles/hr, and twe = 4 hours, what is tew, the time it takes the plane to fly a distance d miles from east to west? tew = 5.75 hours tew = 11.5 hours tew = 7.67 hours tew = 8 hours tew = 10.2 hours
