<span>6.20 m/s^2 The rocket is being accelerated towards the earth by gravity which has a value of 9.8 m/s^2. Given the total mass of the rocket, the gravitational drag will be 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.00 x 10^5 kg = 4.9 x 10^6 kg m/s^2 = 4.9 x 10^6 N Add in the atmospheric drag and you get 4.90 x 10^6 N + 4.50 x 10^6 N = 9.4 x 10^6 N Now subtract that total drag from the thrust available. 1.250 x 10^7 - 9.4 x 10^6 = 12.50 x 10^6 - 9.4 x 10^6 = 3.10 x 10^6 N So we have an effective thrust of 3.10 x 10^6 N working against a mass of 5.00 x 10^5 kg. We also have N which is (kg m)/s^2 and kg. The unit we wish to end up with is m/s^2 so that indicates we need to divide the thrust by the mass. So 3.10 x 10^6 (kg m)/s^2 / 5.00 x 10^5 kg = 0.62 x 10^1 m/s^2 = 6.2 m/s^2 Since we have only 3 significant figures in our data, the answer is 6.20 m/s^2</span>

Why are the element from period 2 grouped together
valentinak56 [21]
All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons. As you move down the table, every row adds an orbital.

You can keep a 1kg apple from falling to the ground by placing it on a table. What reaction force is resisting the force of the
Gnom [1K]

The equilibrium condition allows finding the correct answer for the force that is resisting the weight of the apple is:

        3. Normal force

Newton's second law gives the relationship between <em>force, mass</em> and acceleration of bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is is called the equilibrium condition.

            ∑ F = 0

Where F is the external force.

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces on bodies without the details of the shape of the body, in the attached we can see a scheme of the forces.

Let's write the equilibrium condition for the apple

          N - W = 0

          N = W

.

We can see that the only forces acting on the apple are its weights and reaction from the table called Normal.

Let's analyze the different answers:

1. False. The apple is not moving therefore the resistance is zero

2. False. The apple is not moving  so friction it with the table is  

3. True. The free-body diagram shows that the normal and the weight are equal

4. False. There is nothing to pull the apple so there is no tension

5. False. Gravity is the weight of the apple that is applied to the table, not from the table to the apple.

In conclusion using the equilibrium condition we can find the correct result for the force that is resisting the weight of the apple is:

        3. Normal force
