Write a brief essay describing how Newton’s Laws explain how a rocket in space can move objects

statuscvo [17]

The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward.

Compute the size of the charge necessary for two spheres separated by 1m to be attached with the force of 1N. How many electrons

yarga [219]

Answer:

$q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons$

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law</u>

The force between two charged particles of charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance d is given by the Coulomb's Law formula:

$\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

Where:

$k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2$

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

We know both charges are identical, i.e. q1=q2=q. This reduces the formula to:

$\displaystyle F=k\frac{q^2}{d^2}$

Since we know the force F=1 N and the distance d=1 m, let's find the common charge of the spheres solving for q:

$\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{F}{k}}\cdot d$

Substituting values:

$\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{1}{9\cdot 10^9}}\cdot 1$

$q = 1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c$

This charge corresponds to a number of electrons given by the elementary charge of the electron:

$q_e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c$

Thus, the charge of any of the spheres is:

$\displaystyle q = \frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c}$

$\mathbf{q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons}$

If it requires 8.0 J of work to stretch a particular spring by 2.0 cm from its equilibrium length, how much more work will be re

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The amount of work done required to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is 64 J.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretching spring is given by the relation :

$E = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$ .......(1)

Here k is spring constant and x is the displacement of spring from its equilibrium position.

For stretch spring by 2.0 cm or 0.02 m, we need 8.0 J of energy. Hence, substitute the suitable values in equation (1).

$8 = \frac{1}{2}\timesk\times k \times(0.02)^{2}$

k = 4 x 10⁴ N/m

Energy needed to stretch a spring by 6.0 cm can be determine by the equation (1).

Substitute 0.06 m for x and 4 x 10⁴ N/m for k in equation (1).

$E = \frac{1}{2}\times4\times10^{4}\times (0.06)^{2}$

E = 72 J

But we already have 8.0 J. So, the extra energy needed to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is :

E = ( 72 - 8 ) J = 64 J
