As a rocket travels upward from earth, air resistance decreases along with the force of gravity. The rocket's mass also decrease

s as it uses up its fuel. If thrust remains the same, how do these factors affect the rocket's acceleration

Answer:

The decrease of these factors increases the acceleration.

Explanation:

Hi, the decrease of these factors increases the acceleration.

Air resistance is a force opposing the acceleration. So if it decreases, the acceleration increases, because the opposite forces decreases.

The same is applied to the force of gravity, since the rocket travels upward; gravity is also an opposite force.

Finally, if the mass decreases, it means that the rocket becomes lighter and the force acting on the smaller mass causes an increase in the acceleration.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! Describe each Newton Law. :)
Alex

Explanation:

1st- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. 

2nd- states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it. (most important law)

3rd- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. (law of action/reaction)

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result
Over [174]
B) law of conservation of momentum

It states that the total momentum of a system before impact is the same as the total momentum of the system after impact.

In this case total momentum before impact:

10kg*5m/s  + 5kg * 0m/s = 50 kg m/s

After Impact:

10kg*0m/s + 5kg*10m/s = 50 kg m/s

You can see the momentum before and after impact is same as 50 kg m/s  

Of course we assumed that the first cart stopped after the impact, and there are no energy losses.

In the figure below, a block of 1.67 slides on a track with different levels, which has friction only at the highest point where
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

2.0 m

Explanation:

Energy is conserved.

Initial KE = Final PE + Work done by friction

½ mv² = mgh + Fd

½ mv² = mgh + mgμd

½ v² = gh + gμd

½ v² − gh = gμd

d = (½ v² − gh) / (gμ)

d = (½ (7.5 m/s)² − (10 m/s²) (2.1 m)) / ((10 m/s²) (0.35))

d = 2.0 m
