Answer:

Explanation:

In space, rockets zoom around with no air to push against. ... When a rocket shoots fuel out one end, this propels the rocket forward — no air is required. NASA says this principle is easy to observe on Earth. If you stand on a skateboard and throw a bowling ball forward, that force will push you and the skateboard back.

A 72-kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the first .8 s , the elevator is under acceleration . It starts from initial velocity u = 0 , final velocity v = 1.2 m /s , time = .8 s

v = u + at

1.2 = 0 + .8 a

a = 1.2 / .8

= 1.5 m /s²

During the acceleration in upward direction , let reaction force of ground on man be R .

Net force on man = R - mg

Applying Newton's 2 nd law

R - mg = ma

R = m ( g + a )

= 72 ( 9.8 + 1.5 )

= 813.6 N .

This reaction force will be measured by spring scale , so reading of spring scale will be 813.6 N .

which planet should punch travel to if his goal is to weigh in at 118 lb? refer to the table of planetary masses and radii given

Harrizon [31]

The planet that Punch should travel to in order to weigh 118 lb is Pentune.

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>The given parameters:</h3>

Weight of Punch on Earth = 236 lb
Desired weight = 118 lb

The mass of Punch will be constant in every planet;

$W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g}\\\\m = \frac{236}{g}$

The acceleration due to gravity of each planet with respect to Earth is calculated by using the following relationship;

$F = mg = \frac{GmM}{R^2} \\\\g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$

where;

M is the mass of Earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
R is the Radius of Earth = 6,371 km

For Planet Tehar;

$g_T =\frac{G \times 2.1M}{(0.8R)^2} \\\\g_T = 3.28(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_T = 3.28 g$

For planet Loput:

$g_L =\frac{G \times 5.6M}{(1.7R)^2} \\\\g_L = 1.94(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_L = 1.94g$

For planet Cremury:

$g_C =\frac{G \times 0.36M}{(0.3R)^2} \\\\g_C = 4(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_C = 4 g$

For Planet Suven:

$g_s =\frac{G \times 12M}{(2.8R)^2} \\\\g_s = 1.53(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_s = 1.53 g$

For Planet Pentune;

$g_P =\frac{G \times 8.3 }{(4.1R)^2} \\\\g_P = 0.5(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_P = 0.5 g$

For Planet Rams;

$g_R =\frac{G \times 9.3M}{(4R)^2} \\\\g_R = 0.58(\frac{GM}{R^2} )\\\\g_R = 0.58 g$

The weight Punch on Each Planet at a constant mass is calculated as follows;

$W = mg\\\\W_T = mg_T\\\\W_T = \frac{236}{g} \times 3.28g = 774.08 \ lb\\\\W_L = \frac{236}{g} \times 1.94g =457.84 \ lb\\\\ W_C = \frac{236}{g}\times 4g = 944 \ lb \\\\ W_S = \frac{236}{g} \times 1.53g = 361.08 \ lb\\\\W_P = \frac{236}{g} \times 0.5 g = 118 \ lb\\\\W_R = \frac{236}{g} \times 0.58 g = 136.88 \ lb$

Thus, the planet that Punch should travel to in order to weigh 118 lb is Pentune.

<u>The </u><u>complete question</u><u> is below</u>:

Which planet should Punch travel to if his goal is to weigh in at 118 lb? Refer to the table of planetary masses and radii given to determine your answer.

Punch Taut is a down-on-his-luck heavyweight boxer. One day, he steps on the bathroom scale and "weighs in" at 236 lb. Unhappy with his recent bouts, Punch decides to go to a different planet where he would weigh in at 118 lb so that he can compete with the bantamweights who are not allowed to exceed 118 lb. His plan is to travel to Xobing, a newly discovered star with a planetary system. Here is a table listing the planets in that system (<em>find the image attached</em>).

<em>In the table, the mass and the radius of each planet are given in terms of the corresponding properties of the earth. For instance, Tehar has a mass equal to 2.1 earth masses and a radius equal to 0.80 earth radii.</em>
