Answer:

Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. When a rocket shoots fuel out on end, this will propel the roclet forward and no air is required. Roclets do not stop and neither do spacecrafts but they do reduce their speed. Objects will slow down in space but they won't necessarily stop. So the answer to your question is once the rocket is launched from Earth, it will have other substances to keep it moving.

You're welcome :)

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

It is possible for sedimentary rocks to be converted to igneous rocks. Under conditions of high temperature and pressure, sedimentary rocks can be broken down into igneous rock by melting this rock type.

When the rock is broken down, it forms melt which when cooled and solidifies will form igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking down of pre-existing rocks through the action of weathering, erosion and sediment transportation. Within a basin, the sediments are compacted and lithified.

When this is subjected to intense pressure and temperature, the rock hardens and might further break down to melt.

A small logo is embedded in a thick block of crown glass (n = 1.52), 4.70 cm beneath the top surface of the glass. The block is

harkovskaia [24]

The concept required to solve this problem is the optical relationship that exists between the apparent depth and actual or actual depth. This is mathematically expressed under the equations.

$d'w = d_w (\frac{n_{air}}{n_w})+d_g (\frac{n_{air}}{n_g})$

Where,

$d_g =$ Depth of glass

$n_w =$ Refraction index of water

$n_g =$ Refraction index of glass

$n_{air} =$ Refraction index of air

$d_w =$ Depth of water

I enclose a diagram for a better understanding of the problem, in this way we can determine that the apparent depth in the water of the logo would be subject to

$d'w = d_w (\frac{n_{air}}{n_w})+d_g (\frac{n_{air}}{n_g})$

$d'w = (1.7cm) (\frac{1}{1.33})+(4.2cm)(\frac{1}{1.52})$

$d'w = 4.041cm$

Therefore the distance below the upper surface of the water that appears to be the logo is 4.041cm

A sled with no initial velocity accelerates at a rate of 3.2 m/s2 down a hill. How long does it take the sled to go 15 m to the

grin007 [14]

S = ut + 1/2 at^2
a = 3.2 m/s^2
s = 15m
Find t
15 = 1/2(3.2)t^2
15 = 3.2t^2/2
30 = 3.2t^2
30/ 3.2 = 9.38
Square root of 9.38 = 3.06
It takes 3.06 seconds

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.
