Explain how Newton's third law is applied when a rocket ship is being launched?

Physics

garri49 [273]3 years ago
6 0

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. This creates an equal and opposite push on the exhaust gas backwards.

frosja888 [35]

Explanation:

Using kinematics,

t = 4s

u = 0m/s

a = 9.8m/s^2

Therefore v = u + at = 0 + (4)(9.8) = 39.2m/s.

Explain why the atomic mass of an element is a weighted-average mass
Sliva [168]
The isotopes contribute to the average atomic mass based on their abundance. The result is that the "average" mass for the atoms of an element is dictated by the most abundant or common isotope. The average atomic mass for carbon is 12.0107 amu. The atomic mass as displayed on the periodic table is a weighted average relative atomic mass of the naturally occuring isotopes of that element. An isotope is an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons For example - Carbon naturally occurs in isotopes C12, C13 and C14 with abundances of 98.9% 1.1% and 'trace' respectively. the average mass is then calculated by 12*98.9%+13*1.1% = 12.01g/mol

Why is carbon said to provide a “backbone” in many molecules?(1 point)
slega [8]

Answer:

The carbon atom has unique properties that allow it to form covalent bonds to as many as four different atoms, making this versatile element ideal to serve as the basic structural component, or “backbone,” of the macromolecules.

Atoms in a solid are not stationary, but vibrate about their equilibrium positions. Typically, the frequency of vibration is abo
hoa [83]

To develop this problem it is necessary to use the equations of description of the simple harmonic movement in which the acceleration and angular velocity are expressed as a function of the Amplitude.

Our values are given as

f = 4.11 *10^{12} Hz

A = 1.23 * 10^{-11}m

The angular velocity of a body can be described as a function of frequency as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi 4.11 *10^{12}

\omega=2.582*10^{13} rad/s

PART A) The expression for the maximum angular velocity is given by the amplitude so that

V = A\omega

V =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})

V =  = 317.586m/s

PART B) The maximum acceleration on your part would be given by the expression

a = A \omega^2

a =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})^2

a= 8.2*10^{15}m/s^2
