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.

Considering only the earth's rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above
tangare [24]

Answer:

5.1 hours

Explanation:

The only fact we need to know about such a question is that when gazing down at the north pole, the earth spins longitudinally at 360 degrees / day in the clockwise direction.

The planet would have to spin an additional 77 ° to strike the asteroid at 25° E. If the earth rotates in 24 hours 360 degrees, then it must it rotates in 5.1 h at 77 degrees.

1. A record with a radius of 0.3m spins in a clockwise circle with a centripetal
Hitman42 [59]

Solve for the linear/tangential speed:

<em>a</em> = <em>v</em>²/<em>r</em>

where <em>a</em> = centripetal acceleration, <em>v</em> = speed, and <em>r</em> = radius.

4.7 m/s² = <em>v</em>²/(0.3 m)

<em>v</em>² = (0.3 m) (4.7 m/s²)

<em>v</em> ≈ 3.96 m/s

For every time the record completes one revolution, a fixed point on the edge of the record travels a distance equal to its circumference, which is 2<em>π</em> (0.3 m) ≈ 1.88 m. So if 1 rev ≈ 1.88 m, then the angular speed of the record is

(3.96 m/s) (1/1.88 rev/m) ≈ 7.46 rev/s

Take the reciprocal of this to get the period:

1 / (7.46 rev/s) ≈ 0.134 s/rev

So it takes the record about 0.134 seconds to complete one revolution.
