Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 5 × 2.5

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A rocket burns fuel to create hot gases that explode violently out of the rocket engine. This explosion creates thrust. Thrust i

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.

Explanation:

From the concept of Escape Velocity, derived from Newton's Law of Gravitation, definition of Work, Work-Energy Theorem and Principle of Energy Conservation, which is the minimum speed such that rocket can overcome gravitational forces exerted by the Earth, and according to the Tsiolkovski's Rocket Equation, which states that thrust done by the rocket is equal to the change in linear momentum of the rocket itself, we conclude that thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

$K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2$

$\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s$

Explanation:

Note that we take $K_2 = 0$ because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.
