Explain how Newton’s third law describes the motion of a rocket. How could this apply to the motion of a robot on ice?

5 0

Answer:

According to Newton's third law of motion to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a rocket moves in free space it ejects hot gases. ... It is then the “reaction force”. As a result, the rocket is accelerated or propelled in the opposite direction.

Launching a rocket relies on Newton's Third Law of Motion. A rocket engine produces thrust through action and reaction. The engine produces hot exhaust gases which flow out of the back of the engine. In reaction, a thrusting force is produced in the opposite reaction.

What is a possible explination for why the giant ice caps that covered a supercontinent in the paleozoic era melted?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The Paleozoic era spanned from the Cambrian to the Permian and ended with a mass extinction at the end of the Permian. Geologists are still unsure of the cause but the theories include a meteorite impact or a massive volcanic event in Siberia or a combination of both. This could be a possible cause of the melting of the late Paleozoic ice sheets.

An astronomer at the equator measures the Doppler shift of sunlight at sunset. From this, she calculates that Earth's tangential
Ksivusya [100]

Answer : Radius of Earth is 6,340 Km.

Explanation

It is given that,

Tangential velocity of Earth at the equator, v = 465 m/s

Centripetal acceleration at the equation is, a_c=3.41\times 10^{-2}\ m/s^2

We know that the relation between centripetal acceleration and tangential velocity is :

a_c=\dfrac{v^2}{r}..........(1)

Where,

v is tangential velocity

r is the radius

Putting all values in equation (1)

3.41\times 10^{-2}\ m/s^2=\dfrac{(465 m/s)^2}{r}

r=6340909\ m

or

r=6,340\ Km

The Earth's radius is 6,340 Km. Hence, this is the required solution.

What’s the spinning in earths axis that causes day and night called
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

rotation

Explanation:

The spinning of the Earth on its axis from west to east is called rotation. Effects of the Earth’s rotation are: The rotation of the Earth causes the day and the night. … Due to rotation, winds and the ocean currents deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. doggo knows ctrl+c, ctrl+v.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

i) photons, they collide with the electrons

ii)when the energy of the photons is less than the work function there is no way to get out electrons

iii) he energy depends on the frequency in this Planck postulate

Explanation:

This exercise the photo cell is used for the photoelectric effect, this effect was explained by Einstein

i)  Where the light is supposed to act as a particular, therefore, it is called photons, they collide with the electrons and they can tear off the metal, with a collision it is very fast there is no measurable wait in the process.

ii) since we have a shock process, the equation must be fulfilled

          K = h f - Ф

where E = h f is the energy postulated by Plank and Ф the work function of the metal, therefore when the energy of the photons is less than the work function there is no way to get out electrons, which determines a threshold energy in the process

iii) From the same previous equation, the energy depends on the frequency in this Planck postulate, and not on the intensity squared as accepted in classical mechanics.
