Since momentum is a vector quantity, take any direction as positive and other as negative. Answer won't change.
<span>According to Newton's first law of motion:
-- objects at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force
-- objects in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force

Let's ask this question step by step:
Part A)
a x b = (3.0i + 5.0j) x (2.0i + 4.0j) = (12-10) k = 2k
ab = (3.0i + 5.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j) = 6 + 20 = 26
Part (c)
(a + b) b = [(3.0i + 5.0j) + (2.0i + 4.0j)]. (2.0i + 4.0j)
(a + b) b = (5.0i + 9.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j)
(a + b) b = 10 + 36
(a + b) b = 46
Part (d)
comp (ba) = (a.b) / lbl
a.b = (3.0i + 5.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j) = 6 + 20 = 26
lbl = root ((2.0) ^ 2 + (4.0) ^ 2) = root (20)
comp (ba) = 26 / root (20)
answer
2k
26
46
26 / root (20)
Answer:
D. Upward force on the shuttle
Explanation:
The hot gas from space shuttles released downward causes an upward force on the shuttle and propels it up the more.
- This hot gas is produced from super cooled oxygen and hydrogen tanks within the shuttle.
- The upward force on the shuttle allows the craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth on the shuttle
- Special level of rapid acceleration must be attained for the shuttle to escape the earth pull.
