If the forces are equal and opposite why does the rocket ship move

1 answer:

7 0

<span>A rocket in its simplest form is a chamber enclosing a gas under pressure. A small opening at one end of the chamber allows the gas to escape, and in doing so provides a thrust that propels the rocket in the opposite direction. A good example of this is a balloon. Air inside a balloon is compressed by the balloon's rubber walls. The air pushes back so that the inward and outward pressing forces are balanced. When the nozzle is released, air escapes through it and the balloon is propelled in the opposite direction.</span>

A human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter.

Ann [662]

Answer:

The diameter is 0.000056 m

Explanation:

Lets explain the relation between the meter and the micrometer

1 Meter is equal to 1000000 (one million) micrometers

1 micrometer = $\frac{1}{1000000}=\frac{1}{10^{6}}=10^{-6}$

The symbol of the meter is m

The symbol of micrometer is μm

A human hair is approximately 56 µm in diameter

We need to express this diameter in meter

To do that we divide this number by 1,000,000 or multiply it by $10^{-6}$

→ $\frac{56}{1000000}=0.000056$ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

→ OR

→ $56*10^{-6}=0.000056$

→ 56 µm = 0.000056 m

<em>The diameter is 0.000056 m</em>

On a bet, you try to remove water from a glass by blowing across the top of a vertical straw immersed in the water. What is the

MArishka [77]

Answer:

v₂ = 0.56 m / s

Explanation:

This exercise can be done using Bernoulli's equation

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Where points 1 and 2 are on the surface of the glass and the top of the straw

The pressure at the two points is the same because they are open to the atmosphere, if we assume that the surface of the vessel is much sea that the area of the straw the velocity of the surface of the vessel is almost zero v₁ = 0

The difference in height between the level of the glass and the straw is constant and equal to 1.6 cm = 1.6 10⁻² m

We substitute in the equation

$P_{atm}$ + ρ g y₁ = $P_{atm}$ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

½ v₂² = g (y₂-y₁)

v₂ = √ 2 g (y₂-y₁)

Let's calculate

v₂ = √ (2 9.8 1.6 10⁻²)

v₂ = 0.56 m / s

The net force acting on the ball below is ___ N

yKpoI14uk [10]

The net force applied to the object equals the mass of the object multiplied by the amount of its acceleration." The net force acting on the soccer ball is equal to the mass of the soccer ball multiplied by its change in velocity each second (its acceleration).

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

$f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}$

Where:

f₀: is the emitted frequency

f: is the frequency heard by the observer

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

$v_{o}$ : is the speed of the observer = 0 (it is heard in the town)

$v_{s}$ : is the speed of the source =?

The frequency of the train before slowing down is given by:

$f_{b} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (1)

Now, the frequency of the train after slowing down is:

$f_{a} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}$ (2)

Dividing equation (1) by (2) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}}{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}}$

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (3)

Also, we know that the speed of the train when it is slowing down is half the initial speed so:

$v_{s_{b}} = 2v_{s_{a}}$ (4)

Now, by entering equation (4) into (3) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

$\frac{300 Hz}{290 Hz} = \frac{343 m/s - v_{s_{a}}}{343 m/s - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

By solving the above equation for $v_{s_{a}}$ we can find the speed of the train after slowing down:

$v_{s_{a}} = 11.06 m/s$

Finally, the speed of the train before slowing down is:

$v_{s_{b}} = 11.06 m/s*2 = 22.12 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

I hope it helps you!

a light ray traveling in air enters a second medium and its speed slows to 1.71 × 10^8 meters per second. what is the absolute i

givi [52]

The absolute refractive index is equal to the speed of light of the wave in air divided by the speed of light in the second medium. This means that it is equal to 3 x10^8 / 1.71 x10^8. This means the answer is 1.75
