As a rocket ascends, its acceleration increases even though the net force on it stays constant. why? (assume a traveling distanc

e small enough that the thrust, acceleration due to gravity and atmosphere do not change. the faster a rocket moves the more acceleration is imparted to it from a given force. as a rocket ascends it's momentum increases with it's speed. the greater the momentum of the rocket, the greater the acceleration imparted to it from a given force. as the rocket ascends, fuel is burned at a faster rate resulting in a larger acceleration. the rocket's mass decreases as its fuel is consumed. the same net force acting on a smaller mass results in a larger acceleration.

Answer:

Explanation:

A rocket is provided thrust and acceleration through the fuel which is filled within it, burning of fuel at faster rate provide larger acceleration to the rocket. However, as the fuel get consumed the mass of rocket also decreases and with the reduction of it's mass it's momentum and speed increases thereby, it ascends with larger acceleration despite the force of gravity acting upon it in opposite direction.

Which statement is an example of the law of conservation of energy
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity.

A rocket of mass m is to be launched fromplanet X, which has a mass M and a radius R. What is the minimum speed that the rocket
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The minimum speed = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Explanation:

The minimum speed that the rocket must have for it to escape into space is called its escape velocity. If the speed is not attained, the gravitational pull of the planet would pull down the rocket back to its surface. Thus the launch would not be successful.

The minimum speed can be determined by;

                      Escape velocity = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where: G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet X, and R is its radius.

If the appropriate values of the variables are substituted into the expression, the value of the minimum speed required can be determined.

Conceptual question about relativity: Imagine two events--
steposvetlana [31]
They are not the same event in that they occur in different places and times in most frames of reference. In the photon's frame they are not separated in either space nor time because photons don't experience time and at least mathematically all points on the spacetime manifold are the same point to a photon.  What the zero spacetime interval can tell us though, is that the events are connected by a light beam (light-like separation). There is as much time between the events as there is space and one event can conceptually cause the other. They are on the cusp between time-like and space-like  events.
