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.

Explanation:

Since there is no medium in space we need rockets as they can travel without any medium. They release the the thrust from the nozzle (which is action) and an equal and opposite force acts on the nozzle (which is reaction) to move it forward. This is as per the third law of motion (<em>Action Reaction Principle</em>) which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

As per the second law of motion, the acceleration of an object depends on its mass and force applied on it. As the rocket moves it discards its unused parts which makes it lighter. Also the decreasing amount of fuel further reduces the mass. Both of these factors increases the acceleration of the rocket.

As per the first law of motion, <em>law of Inertia</em>, an object will not change its state of motion until an unbalanced force is applied on it. So, if the rocket is moving at a speed of x Km/h and we shut down the engine, it will keep moving at the same speed without using any extra fuel.

In your own words, describe why melting ice with salt freezes cream. Compare your descriptions to your classmates and describe h
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Water normally freezes at 0°C (32°F). Salt lowers the freezing temperature. (That is, it can remain a liquid at much lower temperatures.)

When sprinkled on ice, the salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water which effectively melts the ice when the salt dissolves into it. There is a limit to how low it can reduce the temperature, though. If the temperature drops below -9°C (15°F), it's too cold for the salt to dissolve into the ice.

When making ice cream, the salt lowers the temperature of the ice and water sufficiently enough to freeze the cream.

Four +2 μC charges are placed at the positions (10 cm, 0 cm), (−10 cm, 0 cm), (0 cm, 10 cm), and (0 cm, −10 cm) such that they f
mylen [45]

Answer:

The force will be zero

Explanation:

Due to the symmetric location of the +2μC charges the forces the excert over the +5μC charge will cancel each other resulting in a net force with a magnitude of zero.However in this case it would be an unstable equilibrium, very vulnerable to a kind of bucking. If the central charge is not perfectly centered on the vertical axis the forces will have components in that axis that will add together instead of canceling each other.
