Two spaceships that have different masses but rocket engines of identical force are at rest in space. if they fire their rockets

at the same time, which ship will speed up faster
Physics

NISA [10]3 years ago
5 0
Force is calculated F=m×a.
If both ships speed up with the same force, but have a different mass, This means that a also has to be different. If F is the same but ship a has a bigger mass(m) than ship b, then the acceleration(a) of ship b has to be bigger so F of each ship is the same. So the ship with the smaller mass will speed up faster.

Describe the water cycle process starting from an afternoon thunderstorm. There are many different variations that could happen.
spin [16.1K]

Explanation:

The water cycle basically involves five steps:

  • evaporation and transpiration ⇄
  • condensation, ⇄
  • precipitation, ⇄
  • runoff, ⇄
  • infiltration ⇄

So when a <u>thunderstorm </u>occurs it <em>helps in completing the precipitation process </em>by enabling the release of water vapor stored up in the atmosphere to fall on the ground as rain.

After this, the water <em>runoffs </em><em>to the surface of the ground, on plants, into rocks, rivers, and lakes.</em>

Next, the <em>Infiltration process</em> enables the water on the ground surface to enter the soil some of which becomes groundwater.

The cycle begins again as the<em> </em><em>evaporation and transpiration</em> <em>process </em>begins, where the groundwater as a result of heat from the sun is taken back into the atmosphere, while water in plants by means of transpiration goes back <em>into the atmosphere</em>.

It then <em>condenses </em>and falls back as precipitation again.

The right-hand rule predicts the direction of the force on a positively charged object moving in a gravitational field true fals
eimsori [14]
The statement above is FALSE.
The right hand rule is used in physics to predict the direction of the force on a charged object moving in a MAGNETIC FIELD. The right hand rule is used to relate the relationship between the magnetic field and the forces that are exerted on the moving objects in the field. Using the right hand rule, for a positively charged object that is moving in an electric field, the pointer finger will point in the direction the charged object is moving, the middle finger will point in the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic force that is pushing the charged object.
