Write a brief essay describing how Newton’s Laws explain how a rocket in space can move objects

The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. 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.

39. A dog runs on a waxed floor at an initial speed of 2 m/s. It slides to a stop with an
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

v_f=v_0+at where vf is the final velocity of the dog, v0 is the initial velocity of the dog, a is the acceleration of the dog, and t is the time it takesto reach that final velocity. For us:

0 = 2 + -.43t and

-2 = -.43t so

t = 4.7 seconds

What is the average speed of a kangaroo that hops 60 m in 5 s ?
jok3333 [9.3K]
The formula for average speed is
v_{avg}= \frac{total distance}{total time}
So we can just substitute our data.
v_{avg}= \frac{60}{5}=12 \frac{m}{s} - its the result

The force that attracts earth to an object is equal to and opposite the force that earth exerts on the object. Explain why earth
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Because of heavy mass

Explanation:

When force acts on a body it tends to accelerate the body. The acceleration produced in the body depends on two things:

1). Magnitude of force

2). Mass of the body

F= ma

⇒ a = F/m  

As the force exerted on earth and another object are the equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. This forces will accelerate the object toward the earth but can't accelerate the earth as earth has very high mass.

a = F/m

This force tends to accelerate the earth but but due to earth's inertia the earth does not accelerate.
