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.

What is the most appropriate SI unit to express the speed of a cyclist in a 10-km race? km/s cm/h km/h mm/s

Murljashka [212]

You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100

Km / hour would be a good choice.

The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.

Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.

7. How much work is done in moving a charge of 10 micro coulombs 1 meter along an equipotential of 10 volts?

Neko [114]

It takes work to push charge through a change of potential.
There's no change of potential along an equipotential path,
so that path doesn't require any work.
