What happens after a thruster is fired to push a spacecraft

Physics
1 answer:
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]3 years ago
5 0

<span>The thruster releases small amounts of substance (in the form of a gas or liquid) at very high speed out of the nozzle. Since Newtons  3rd law states that each action has an equal and opposite reaction, therefore spacecraft should also experience a push in the opposite direction</span>. Therefore the spaceship will move. This will only stop when it faces an equal opposite force.

 

Answer:

<span>c. the spaceship will move and will not stop until it is stopped by an equal and opposite forced</span>

A typical human consumes 2500 Kcal of energy during a day. This is the equivalent to 10,450,000 J! Say you decided to run stairs
defon

Answer:

2940.1 joules  would you burn in climbing stairs all day.

Explanation:

Work = W = F\times d

going up stairs  would be against force of gravity

W = mgh

where h is the  height

the question is not complete because we need speed or distance

h =  v \times t

so assuming 1 step per second

h = 86,400 steps  \times 7inchs/step \times 0.0254 m/inch

h = 15362 m

so from this    

W = 800 N \times 15362

   = 12289600 J  

that means YOU  need 12289600 J to walk 1 step per second all day

divide that by 4180 J /Kcal  

Kcal =  \frac{W}{(J/Kcal)}

       = \frac{12289600}{4180}

       = 2940.1 Kcal

if you ran faster you would use more energy  2 steps per second would mean 5880 Kcal.

13. Describe the molecules of a solid in terms of kinetic energy.
Y_Kistochka [10]
The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

The first stage in the GAS model of stress is
Vladimir [108]
<span>The first stage in the Gas model of stress is alarm and mobilization. So the correct option in regards to the given question is option “d”. Hans Selye is the person that evolved this model and he has explained this model in complete details.  He has broken down his model into three stages. The first stage involves alarm and mobilization. The second stage includes resistance. The third and the final stage include the exhaustion stage. These are the stages that an organism goes through to restore back the balance when stress is exerted from outside. </span>
