Newton’s Laws of Motion are absolute in classical physics. One example that uses all three laws simultaneously is the firing of

a rocket in space. Hollywood uses this idea when they use fire extinguishers, or a rocket, in space to move about. Write a brief essay describing how Newton’s Laws explain how a rocket in space can move objects. Be sure to touch on each law within your essay.

Answer:

I think that by "Classical physics" is meant low speed things. By low speed, I think is meant speed far below very roughly half the speed of light, so that Relativistic, special or general, effects can be ignored. Or at least it is hoped that they can be ignored.

Fire extinguishers and rockets get propelled by forcing out large amounts of material (gases under very high pressure) through a nozzle, and the RECOIL from that propels something forward. So, if the action is the ejection of material, the reaction (recoil) is the ejector moving along the same line in the other direction. And that's an example of Newton's third law.

Given a propulsion system, the magnitude of the force recoiling on the ejector will change the momentum of the ejector, often written as the equation F=ma where F is the force, m is the mass being accelerated, and a being the acceleration.

Just as something will stay still until it is moved - inertia - so once set in uniform motion in a straight line, the thing will continue in that motion, theoretically for ever or until something alters its momentum. Newton's first law is to the effect of "every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a resultant external force". Which, I think, is where the concept of inertia stems from.

I think that the above mostly  on the 3 laws.Any more help needed, please ask.

Answer:

charge C = greatest net force

charge B = the smallest net force

ratio  = 9 : 1

Explanation:

we know that in Electrostatic Forces, when 2 charges are at same sign then they repel each other and if they are different signed charges then they attract each other

so as per Coulomb's formula of Electrostatic Forces

F = \frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{r^2}     .....................1

and here k is 9 × 10^9 N.m²/c² and we consider each charge at distance d

so two charge force at A to B is

F1 = \frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}

and force between charges at A to C, at 2d distance

F1 = \frac{k\ q^2}{(2d)^2}  =  \frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}

force between charges at A to D,  3d distance

F1 = \frac{k\ q^2}{(3d)^2}  = \frac{k\ q^2}{9d^2}  

so

Charge a It receives force to the left from b and c and to the right from d

so at a will be

F(a)  = -F1 - F2 + F3             ....................2

put here value

F(a) = -\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}

solve it

F(a) = \frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}(-1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9})  

F(a) = -\frac{41}{36}\ F1   = 1.13 F1  

and

Charge b It  receives force to the right from a and d and to the left from c

F(b) = F1 - F1 + F2            ....................3

F(b)  =  \frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}    

F(b)  = \frac{1}{4} \ F1    =  0.25 F1

and

Charge c It receives forces to the right from all charges.

F(c) = F2 + F 1 + F 1      ....................4

F(c) = \frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}      

F(c) =  \frac{9}{4} \ F1   = 2.25 F1

and

Charge d It receives forces to the left from all charges

F(d) = - F3 - F2 -F 1      ....................5

F(d) = -\frac{k\ q^2}{9d^2}-\frac{k\ q^2}{4d^2}-\frac{k\ q^2}{d^2}  

so

F(d) = -\frac{49}{36} \ F1    = 1.36 F1

and

now we get here ratio of the greatest to the smallest net force that is

ratio = \frac{2.25}{0.25}

 ratio  = 9 : 1

Electronic flash unit cameras contain a capacitor for storing the energy used to produce the flash. In one such unit the flash l
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

(A) 421 J energy stored in the capacitor for one flash.

(B) The value of capacitance is 0.0537 F

Explanation:

Given :

(A)

Time t = \frac{1}{675}

Average power P = 2.7 \times 10^{5} W

From power equation,

   P= \frac{E}{t}

So energy in one light is given by,

   E = Pt

  E = 2.7 \times 10^{5} \times \frac{1}{675}  = 400 J

Since efficiency is 95 % so we can write, energy stored in one flash,

E_{tot} = \frac{400}{0.95} = 421 J

(B)

From the formula of energy stored in capacitor,

 E = \frac{1}{2}C V^{2}

Where E = E_{tot} and V = 125 V

 C = \frac{2E}{V^{2} }

 C = \frac{2 \times 421}{15625}

 C = 0.0537 F

A child on a high dive has a mass of 40 kilograms. If the high dive is 10 meters in the air, what is the potential energy? GPE=m
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista
lions [1.4K]
The answer is 60 mph.

The speed (v) is distance (d) per time (t): v = d/t

Car A:
v1 = ?
t1 = 2 h
d1 = ?
___
v1 = d1/t1
d1 = v1 * t1

Car B:
v2 = ?
t2 = 1.5 h
d2 = ?
___
v2 = d2/t2
d2 = v2 * t2

<span>Two cars traveled equal distances:
d1 = d2
</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

<span>Car B traveled 15 mph faster than Car A:
v2 = v1 + 15


</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
v2 = v1 + 15
________
v1 * 2 = (v1 + 15) * 1.5
2v1 = 1.5v1 + 22.5
2v1 - 1.5v1 = 22.5
0.5v1 = 22.5
v1 = 22.5/0.5
v1 = 45 mph


v2 = v1 + 15
v2 = 45 + 15
v2 = 60 mph
