Answer:

B) gravity

Explanation:

For a rocket to launch, it must overcome the force of gravity acting on it. For this, it produces an upward force (thrust) that "fights" against the force that is pulling it downward (gravity).

To produce the buoyant force, the rocket engines produce combustion gases, usually using liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as the oxidizer, these gases are expelled by the rocket nozzles, pushing against the upper wall of the nozzles. The relationship between the forces can be summed up by Newton's third law, in which every action causes a reaction of equal force and direction and opposite direction, the gases are expelled with such a force that it exceeds the force of the rocket, propelling it upwards .

What is the total resistance of a 6 ohm and a 8 ohm resistor connected in series? (1 Point)

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Total Resistance in circuit is Fourteen Ohms (14 Ω).

Explanation:

How do we know, if the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is the sum of all the resistors.

(Important: The total resistance can only be added just when the resistors are connected in series)

Then, total resistance (TR ) is the sum of all resistors (T1 + T2, in this case)

TR = T1 + T2

According to problem data, we have:

TR = 8 Ω + 6 Ω

TR = 14 Ω

A basketball player is running at 5.00 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains

makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.834 m/s

Explanation:

h = 0.750 m

vx = 5 m/s

Let the initial vertical velocity is vy.

Final vertical velocity is zero

use third equation of motion along y axis

v^2 = vy^2 - 2 x g x h

0 = vy^2 - 2 x 9.8 x 0.75

vy^2 = 14.7

vy = 3.834 m/s

What was the problem with the Hubble Space Telescope and how was it solved?

Igoryamba

Explanation:

The Hubble telescope was launched in 1990, in the low Earth orbit and remains in operation. It was built by NASA with contributions from European Space Agency. There was a serious problem with the optical system and the analysis showed that the cause is the primary mirror that had been polished to the wrong shape, introducing spherical aberration. It was solved by sending servicing mission in 1993, by installing a set of specialized lenses to correct the flawed main mirror in the telescope. Including this, there have been total five astronaut servicing mission to Hubble.

Answer:

As the skydiver falls to the Earth, she experiences positive acceleration only due to gravity.

Explanation:

As the skydiver falls to the Earth, she experiences friction in the form of air resistance which tries to slow her down and is proportional to the her velocity. So it cannot have a positive acceleration as it acts in opposite direction to slow her down.

Inertia during skydiving is experienced when we open an parachute, the parachute slows down the speed of are descent hence changing our inertia of motion with a velocity.

Only the Earth's, gravitational field has an positive acceleration as it pulls us towards the Earth, hence increasing our velocity.
