The statement seems somewhat intuitively satisfying at first.  But upon
closer inspection, we must admit that it's too sloppy to be called 'True'. 
Self respect and academic integrity compel us to mark it 'False'.

A rocket will accelerate upward as long as the thrust is greater than
the force of gravity AND is directed upward.

Furthermore, imagine a rocket that is falling, buttocks-first, when the
engines ignite and generate a thrust force that is greater than the force
of gravity.  Some time will pass before the rocket stops falling and starts
rising.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Vacuum

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Waves and types of waves

To answer the question we need to define both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves.

  • Waves can be classified as either electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves based on whether they require a material medium for transmission or not.
  • Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for transmission and can travel through a vacuum.
  • Mechanical waves, on the other hand, are waves that require a material medium for transmission.

What are examples of electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?

  • Examples of electromagnetic waves include gamma rays, radio waves, visible light, etc.
  • Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and water waves.

Therefore, the answer to our question is;

  • Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves, which means they can travel in a vacuum.

Determine the magnitude of the resultant force FR=F1+F2FR=F1+F2. Assume that F1F1F_1 = 235 lblb and F2F2F_2 = 350 l
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

585lb

Explanation:

Given the following

F1 = 235lb

F2 = 350lb

The resultant is expressed as;

FR = F1+F2

Substitute the given values

FR = 235+350

FR = 585lb

Hence the magnitude of the resultant is 585lb
