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.

A swimmer is capable of swimming at 1.4m/s in still water. a. How far downstream will he land if he swims directly across a 180m
ozzi

Answer:

t = 180 / 1.4 = 129 sec   (time to swim horizontally across river)

S = 129 sec * V     where V is speed of current and S is the distance he will be carried downstream

The problem does not specify V the speed of the river

a 2kg marble is moving at 3 m/s when it strikes another 4kg marble moving in the opposite direction at -3 m/s. What will be the
Elan Coil [88]
Momentum is conserved after the collision 

Momentum of 2 Kg before collision = 2 * 3 = 6
Momentum of 4 kg  before collision = 4 * -3 = -12

so 6 + -12 = 2 * -4 + 4 *x   where x is velocity of 4kg marble.

4x - 8 = -6
4x = 2
x = 0.5 

Velocity of 4 kg marble is 0.5 m/s after collision

The 2 kg marble will move in the opposite direction to which it was moving before the collision.

Determine the angular velocity of the merry-go-round if a jumps off horizontally in the −n direction with a speed of 2 m/s , mea
lapo4ka [179]

by angular momentum conservation we will have

angular momentum of child + angular momentum of merry go round = 0

angular momentum of child = mvR

m = mass of child

R = radius of child

v = speed = 2 m/s

now let's say moment of inertia of merry go round is I

so we will have

m*2*R + Iw = 0

w = -\frac{2mR}{I}

so merry go round will turn in opposite direction with above speed
