1. A rocket is forced forward by the ______ force of its engines, expelling gases out the rear of the rocket.

1 answer:

6 0

There are two forces acting on a rocket at the moment of lift off: Thrust pushes the rocket upwards by pushing gases downwards in the opposite direction.Weight is the force due to gravity pulling the rocket downwards towards the centre of the earth.So I'm thinking the answer is THRUST.

Gravity ALWAYS does that, and electrostatic force does it when two objects have opposite charges.

You build a grandfather clock, whose timing is based on a pendulum. You measure its period to be 2s on Earth. You then travel wi

Elenna [48]

Answer:

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

The period of the simple pendulum is:

$T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }$

Where:

$l$ - Cord length, in m.

$g$ - Gravity constant, in $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

Given that the same pendulum is test on each planet, the following relation is formed:

$T_{1}^{2}\cdot g_{1} = T_{2}^{2}\cdot g_{2}$

The ratio of the gravitational constant on planet CornTeen to the gravitational constant on planet Earth is:

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \right)^{2}$

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{2\,s}{4\,s} \right)^{2}$

$\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}$

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 meters per second increases speed at a constant rate of 2.4 meters per second^2 for

Usimov [2.4K]

Thank you for posting your question here. The total distance traveled by the truck during the 3.2 seconds interval is 83 m. Below is the solution:

d = vit + 1/2 at^2
d = (22m/ s) (3.2s) + 1/2 (2.4m/ s^2) (3.2s)^2
d = 83 m
Hope the answer helps.

Answer:

Mass will not change based on location, while weight will change based on gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The formula for weight is mass*gravitational pull, hence weight changes based on gravitational pull
