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.

Calculate the efficiency of a hair dryer which takes in 4500J of energy per second and transfers 150J as useful heat energy.
Basile [38]

Answer:

η = 0.0333 = 3.33 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of any device is defined as the ratio of the useful output obtained from that device to the input required by the device. Therefore, the general formula to find the efficiency of any device is given as follows:

\eta = \frac{O}{I}

where,

η = efficiency of hair dryer = ?

O = Useful Output Given by the Hair Dryer = 150 J

I = Input Energy Required by the Hair Dryer = 4500 J

Therefore,

\eta = \frac{150\ J}{4500\ J}\\

<u>η = 0.0333 = 3.33 %</u>

When two plates move together, lithosphere is ________. not changed destroyed created?
mote1985 [20]
I believe the answer is the second option. When two plates move together, lithosphere is destroyed. The lithosphere is the part of the ground that includes the uppermost mantle and the crust. It is where plate tectonics are situated. When these move, surely the lithosphere is affected and is changed.

The line-emission spectrum of an atom is caused by the energies released when electrons
Paul [167]

Answer:

makes a transition from a high to a lower energy state

Explanation:

The emission spectrum is the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to the transition from a state of high energy to a state of lower energy made by an electron in the atoms of the chemical element or compound. The emitted photons have an energy equal to the difference in energy between the two states.
