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 formation is one feature of karst topography?
steposvetlana [31]
Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for more weathering- resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions.

The correct answer to the question is: A) miles/hour and B) metre/ second.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand speed.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of distance travelled or the distance travelled by a body per unit time.

Hence, it is a derived quantity which is obtained from distance and time.

The unit of distance can be metre, miles, and the unit of time can be second, minutes or hour.

As speed is the distance covered per unit time, the perfect units will be miles/hour and metre/second.

Hence, the correct options are first and second.
