Because of Gravity, Basically a force so strong it constantly pulls us to the earth with 1 G (Maybe 100 pounds of force constantly pulling us to the earth)
Answer:
the speed of the center of mass stays the same
Explanation:
In a system with no energy loss, momentum is conserved if the mass remains constant. The system described has no change in mass, and energy loss is considered negligible. Hence the product of the total mass and the velocity of its center will be a constant. The center of mass stays the same speed.
Answer:
16.935 N
Explanation:
In order to make the box start moving, the level force applied on the box (F) must be greater than the force of static friction that keeps the box at rest, which is equal to

where
is the coefficient of static friction
(mg) = 30 N is the weight of the box
Therefore, the condition for F must be:

So, the applied force must be greater than this value.
In terms of the scientific method, the immediate purpose of doing an experiment is gathering data. You cannot draw conclusions or form a proper hypothesis without some sort of basis and data.
If you do not have to use relative physics but classic physics, this is how you solve it:
Speed of light = c = 3 * 10^5 km/s
Speed of your foe respect to you: 0.259c
Speed of the torpedo respect to you: 0.349c
Speed of the torpedo respect your foe: 0.349c - 0.259c = 0.09c
Conversion to km/s = 0.09 * 3.0 * 10^5 km/s = 27000 km/s
Note that this solution, using classic physics do not take into account time and space dilation.
Answer: 27000 km/s
