Newton first law of motion
<span>Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
In space due to weightlessness both astronaut and her oxygen tank will float .
when she throws the tank away from spacecraft , she will have a velocity in opposite direction ie towards the spacecraft . This happens due to conservation of momentum . She creates a momentum away so that she can get a momentum towards the spaceship.
So
m₁ v₁ = m₂v₂
12 x 8 = ( 87 - 12 ) x v₂
v₂ = 1.28 m /s
Time allowed = 2 x 60
= 120 s
So maximum distance upto which she can remain away from spacecraft
= 120 x 1.28
= 153 m .
b )
The Newton's law which explains the theory behind it is "third law of motion" . This law gives law of conservation of momentum .
Answer:
With distance from the ridge crest, the sediments and crust get thicker. This also supports the idea that the youngest rocks are on the ridge axis and that the rocks get older with distance away from the ridge (Figure below). Something causes the seafloor to be created at the ridge crest.
