While the rockets are being fired the force is acting onto astronaut. According to a Newton's second law the formula is:
F = m * a

After the mass of the astronaut is doubled the force remains same. In order to get everything correct acceleration must be halved.
F = 2m * a/2

Smaller acceleration would result in smaller final speed.

The speed would be reduced to half of the original speed.

Explanation

A rocket is propelled through space due to the forward momentum gained during thrusting for the amount of time the rockets were fired.

The amount of rocket firing time is proportional to the forward momentum obtained by the rocket to go through space.

If the mass of the astronaut is doubled but the amount of time the rockets were fired were kept same, this means that the momentum acquired by the rocket with doubled mass astronaut is tend to be same with the momentum acquired by the rocket without any change in the mass of astronaut.

It is known that momentum is directly proportional to mass and speed. So if the momentum tends to remain constant and the mass has to be doubled, then in order to propel with the same momentum, the speed should be reduced by half.

To perform a drug lookup to ensure that the new compound has been added to the computer system properly , select in the toolbar
lutik1710 [3]

To perform a drug lookup to ensure that the new compound has been added to the computer system properly we have to select the new from the toolbar at the top of the screen

<h3>What is a computer system?</h3>

A computer system is a collection of computers, related hardware, and related software. The central processing unit (CPU), memory, input/output, and storage devices are the four main components of a computer system. To produce the desired result, all of these parts operate in concert as a single unit.

Selecting the new from the toolbar at the top of the screen will allow us to run a drug lookup to make sure the new compound has been properly added to the computer system.

Therefore the correct answer is the option C

Discuss the effects of breaking a food chain.
Tom [10]

Explanation:

Food chain is linear sequence of the organisms through which the nutrients and the energy pass as one organism eats the another.

<u>If one species in the food chain ceases to exist, the other members in rest of chain could cease to exist too or may increase in population which can affect other food chains. (Breaking of food chain).</u>

This is because the animals in the food chain are dependent on the nutrient present in the another.

For example in the food chain,

Grass ----  Deer ------ Lion

If all deer extinct, the lion will die as they will have nothing to feed on and the population of grass increases.
