Two rocket ships named Alpha and Beta are at rest in space. Alpha fires its engines, and accelerates because of the thrust (or f

orce) that its engines exert on it. Beta has twice the mass of Alpha and its engines exert twice the thrust. If Beta fires its engines, it will experience _________.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Beta rocket has twice the mass of Alpha engine

suppose alpha has a mass of m so beta has 2 m mass

Thrust force on alpha is F

thrust force on beta is 2 F

Acceleration of alpha   a_{alpha}=\frac{F}{m}

Acceleration of beat   a_{beta}=\frac{2F}{2m}=\frac{F}{m}

Therefore acceleration of alpha and beta is same

For study, the Earth can be divided into three parts:
erica [24]

The three parts of the Earth are Atmosphere, Hydrosphere and Lithosphere.

Atmosphere is the blanket of air that surrounds the earth. It is densest close to the surface and thins out as one moves higher. Atmosphere of Earth contains mainly Nitrogen, followed by Oxygen and small amounts of water vapor, Carbondioxide and other gases.

Lithosphere is the outer most part of the earth's surface. The Earth's crust and the mantle form Lithosphere.

Hydrosphere is the part of the Earth that has water. The Oceans, seas, rivers, lakes and other water bodies constitute the Hydrosphere.

Stratosphere, Mesosphere and Ionosphere are different layers of atmosphere.

Hence, for the study of the Earth, one needs to consider earth to be made of three parts- atmosphere, Lithosphere and Hydrosphere.

Two forces Upper FSubscript Upper A Baseline Overscript right-arrow EndScripts and Upper FSubscript Upper B Baseline Overscript
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Part a)

F_A = 4.59 N

Part B)

F_B = 1.28 N

Explanation:

As we know that when both the forces are acting on the object in same direction then we will have

F_A + F_B = ma

as we know that

a = 0.554 m/s^2

m = 10.6 kg

now we will have

F_A + F_B = 10.6(0.554)

F_A + F_B = 5.87 N

Now two forces are in opposite direction then we have

F_A - F_B = 10.6(0.313)

F_A - F_B = 3.32 N

Part A)

Now we will have from above two equation

F_A = 4.59 N

Part B)

Similarly for other force we have

F_B = 1.28 N

What is acceleration, and what units do we use to measure it? *
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2).
