Answer:

20,000 Ns

Explanation:

mass of exhaust gases, m = 50 kg

velocity of exhaust gases, v = 400 m/s

The momentum of a body is defined as the measurement of motion of body. mathematically, it is defined as the product of mass off the body an its velocity.

change in momentum of rocket = final momentum - initial momentum

                                                     =  m x v - 0

                                                     = 50 x 400

                                                     = 20,000 Ns

A box has a mass of 400 g. What minimum force is needed to lift it?
mart [117]

Answer: 3.92 N.

Explanation:

Your box weighs 400g, or 0.4kg. In order to lift it, you need to overcome the force of gravity. F = ma, and acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s^2. So gravity acts on the box with a force of 0.4 kg * -9.8 m/s^2 = -3.92 N. A force of +3.92 N is required to overcome this.
