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.

The mass of a star is 1.61·1031 kg and its angular velocity is 1.60E-7 rad/s. Find its new angular velocity if the diameter sudd
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

ω₂ = 1.9025 x 10⁻⁶ rad/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of star = 1.61 x 10³¹ kg

angular velocity = 1.60 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s

diameter suddenly shrinks = 0.29 x present size

      r₂  = 0.29 r₁

using conservation of angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ ω₂

(\dfrac{2}{5}mr_1^2)\omega_1=(\dfrac{2}{5}mr2^2)\omega_2

r_1^2\times \omega_1=r_2^2\times \omega_2

r_1^2\times 1.60\times 10^{-7}=(0.29r_1)^2\times \omega_2

1.60\times 10^{-7}=0.0841\times \omega_2

\omega_2=\dfrac{1.60\times 10^{-7}}{0.0841}

   ω₂ = 1.9025 x 10⁻⁶ rad/s

Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are remnants of the early solar system. (T/F)
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are remnants of the early solar system. This Statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

METEOROID: these are small rocky or metallic objects found in outer space.

ASTEROIDS: these are also known as minor planets of the inner solar system. They are irregularly shaped object in space that orbits the Sun.

COMETS: these are dusty chunk of ice, that moves in a highly elliptical orbit about the sun.

Asteroids, meteoroids, and comets as remnants of the early solar system was further proved in nebular hypothesis

initially proposed in the eighteenth century by German philosopher Immanuel Kant and French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace. (The word nebula means a gaseous cloud.) According to the modern version of the theory, about 4.5 to 5 billion years ago the solar system developed out of a huge cloud of gases and dust floating through space. These materials were at first very thin and highly dispersed.
