Answer: 60kg/sec

Explanation:

From the question, the mass is given as:

Mass, m = 6000kg

The formula for thrust us calculated as:

F = u × dt/dm

We then equate thrust = weight. This will be:

1000 × dt/dm =mg

1000 × dt/dm = 6000 × 10

1000 × dt/dm = 60000

dt/dm = 60,000/1,000

dt/dm = 60kg

Therefore, the gas ejected per second will be 60 kg/s

Answer: the correct answer is (B) He did not know that interstellar dust made it hard from him to see a large part of the Milky Way's disk.

Explanation:

We live in a dusty Galaxy. Because interstellar dust absorbs the light from stars, Herschel could see only those stars within about 6000 light-years of the Sun.

Which law describes how the Earth applies a gravitational force on the Moon, the Moon applies a gravitational force on Earth? *
nikdorinn [45]
The answer is Newton's 3rd Law. The reason why is because a force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. ... These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject ofNewton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

A lemon with mass 0.3 kg falls out of a tree from a height of 1.8 m. How much mechanical energy does the lemon have just before
Zina [86]
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong...  But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.
