PLEASE HELP!!!! Scientists launch a rocket, and they monitor its acceleration and the force exerted by its engines. As the rocke

t gets higher, the monitors show that the acceleration of the rocket is increasing but the force exerted stays the same. How do Newton’s laws explain why the scientists could expect this to happen?
The total force stays the same, but the action force is increasing as the reaction decreases.
The mass of the rocket decreases as fuel is burned, so the acceleration increases.
The inertia of the rocket increases, which reduces the force needed to change its speed.
The reaction force is increasing as fuel is burned, which causes a greater acceleration.

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
mr Goodwill [35]

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is

                         D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

            Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.

                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t² 

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)


Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes: 

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .

-- They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside
the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:We have , a relation in frequency f and wavelength  λ of a wave having the velocity v as ,

           v=fλ ,

given f=60Hz , λ=20m ,

therefore velocity of wave , v=60×20=1200m/s

Why does conduction occur in solids?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where the particles are closer to together, than in gases, where particles are further apart. ... As these molecules collide, thermal energy is transferred via conduction to the rest of the pan.

Explanation:

Metals have tightly packed atoms which can easily pass on their kinetic energy and also have free moving electrons.

A 40 kg person sits on top of a 400 kg rock. What is the person’s weight? 390 N
algol13

The weight of the person is given by:

W = mg

W = weight, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Given values:

m = 40kg, g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 40(9.81)

W = 390N
