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.

A person is lying on a diving board 2.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

7.98 m

Explanation:

In the given question,

distance above surface= 2 m

Distance penny from person = 8 m

Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.

The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).

Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth

real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth

Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2

= 6 m

therefore, real depth =  4/3 x apparent depth

= 1.33 x 6

= 7.98

thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.

Suppose a 2.0kg bird is flying at a speed of of 1m/s. It’s kinetic energy would be what?
Ganezh [65]

As we know that the formula of kinetic energy will be

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

now here we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 1 m/s

so from the above equation we have

KE = \frac{1}{2}(2)(1^2)

KE = 1 J

Technician A says that a common cause of parking brakes that will not hold, is out of adjustment slack adjusters. Technician B s
Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) technician A

Explanation: A parking brake is a secondary and support brake system which is usually applied when the vehicle is not in motion,this is done to prevent any form of motion and the possibility of any form of accident.

A secondary circuit is a circuit or coil in which current is generated through induction from another circuit or coil called the primary circuit,it has not been discovered that a low pressure from that circuit has led to poor trailer parking brake performance.
