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

Physics

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.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Both technicians A and B

Explanation:

Both trailer sway control, hill assist and hill descent controls are additional featires that enhance stability of electronics and their control systems. Majorly, these features track and reduce skidding in electronics, therfore, enhancing electronic system stability. During the process, these newly added features help to automatically apply brakes and direct the sytem where the controller wants to take it.

A train travels 120 km in 2 hours and 30 minutes. What is its average speed?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

13.33 or 13 1/3m/s (meters per second)

Explanation:

In physics, we use the basic units of meters and seconds. So first convert (km) into meters (m) and also hours and minutes into seconds (s). We end up with 120000m and 9000s. Then divide the 120000m by the 9000s and you end up with 13.33 or 13 1/3 m/s.

How many joules of heat must be transferred to a 410-g aluminum pizza pan to raise its temperature from 32oC to 232oC? The speci
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

recall that heat absorbed released is given by

Q = mc*(T2 - T1)

where

m = mass (in g)

c = specific heat capacity (in J/g-k)

T = temperature (in C or K)

*note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed and (-) when heat is released.

substituting,

Q = (480)*(0.97)*(234 - 22)

Q = 98707 J = 98.7 kJ

an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni
stiv31 [10]
The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N

uppose the weights of Farmer Carl's potatoes are normally distributed with a mean of 9 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.8 ou
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

x= 9.53 ounces

Explanation:

Given that

Mean ,μ= 9 ounces

Standard deviation ,σ=0.8 ounces

He wants to sell only those potatoes that are among the heaviest 25%.

P=25% = 0.25

When P= 0.25 then Z=0.674

Lest take x is the the minimum weight required to be brought to the farmer's market.

We know that

x = Z . σ + μ

x= 0.674 ₓ 0.8 + 9 ounces

x= 9.53 ounces
