For years, space travel was believed to be impossible because there was nothing there Rockets could push off in space in order t

o provide the propulsion necessary to accelerate this inability to provide propulsion is because..
a) a space is a void of air so the rockets have nothing to push off.
b) gravity is absent in space.

c)a space is a void of wit so there is no air resistance in space.

d) nonsense! rockets do accelerate in space and have been able to do so for a long time.

Because rockets do accelerate in space and have been able to do so for a long time.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

A rocket is made to reach the sky and its required destination by the burning of fuels in the rocket. So there is no need of any other external forces to propel them in space. As per Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces will help the rockets to escape the orbit of earth.

And then the remaining energy required by the rocket to travel in space will be obtained from the burning of fuels in the compartments. This burning of fuels in respective compartments will propel the rockets in space. So it is a complete myth that space travel was impossible before because of inability to provide propulsion in space.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

A small cylinder rests on a circular turntable that is rotating clockwise at a constant speed. Which set of vectors gives the di
I am Lyosha [343]

The question is missing the diagram. Also, the choices must have pictorial representation. So, I have attached the missing diagram and the pictorial representation of the vectors.

Answer:

The correct representation is attached below. Force and acceleration will be towards the center of rotation while the velocity will be along the tangent to the circular motion. <u>Option (D).</u>

Explanation:

From the figure, we can conclude the following points:

1. The cylinder is under a uniform circular motion as the circular table is moving at constant speed.

2. For a circular motion, velocity acts along the tangent to the circular path.

3. For a circular motion, centripetal force acts on the body that causes it move around a circular path.

4 The direction of the centripetal force is radially inward towards the center of rotation.

5. The centripetal force causes a centripetal acceleration acting on the body.

6. From Newton's second law, the net acceleration of a body is in the same direction as that of the net force acting on it. So, centripetal acceleration also acts in the radially inward direction.

Therefore, from the above conclusions, it is clear that velocity will act in the horizontal direction at the given instance of time and force and acceleration will act vertically down for the given instance.

This is shown in the picture below. The option (D).

From the edge of a roof you throw a snowball downward that strikes the ground with 100J of kinetic energy. then you throw a seco
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The second snowball hits the ground with a kinetic energy of 100 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

From the edge of a roof you throw a snowball downward that strikes the ground with 100 J of kinetic energy. It is a case of conservation of energy.

At the highest point,

mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2=mgh'+0          

100=mgh'

At lowest point,

mgh'=K

From above two equation, we get :

Kinetic energy, K = 100 J

So, the second snowball hits the ground with a kinetic energy of 100 Joules. So, the correct option is (A).

An 8.0 m, 240 N uniform ladder rests against a smooth wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground
sweet [91]

Answer:

5.7 m

Explanation:

AD = length of the ladder = L = 8 m

AB = distance of the center of mass of the ladder = (0.5) L = (0.5) 8 = 4 m

AC = distance of person on the ladder from the bottom end = x

W = weight of the ladder = 240 N

F_{g} = weight of the person = 710 N

F = force by the wall on the ladder

N = normal force by ground on the ladder = ?

Using equilibrium of force along the vertical direction

N = F_{g} + W

N = 710 + 240

N = 950 N

μ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.55

f =static frictional force on the ladder

Static frictional force is given as

f = μ N

f = (0.55) (950)

f = 522.5 N

Force equation along the horizontal direction is given as

F = f

F = 522.5 N

using equilibrium of torque about point A

F Sin50 (AD) = W Cos50 (AB) + (F_{g} Cos50 (AC))

(522.5) Sin50 (8) = (240) Cos50 (4) + (710) Cos50 (x)

x = 5.7 m

When kicking a football, the kicker rotates his leg about the hip joint. (a) If the velocity of the tip of the kicker’s shoe is
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Part a)

\omega = 33.33 rad/s

Part b)

F = 500 N

Part c)

R_{max} = 40.8 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the velocity of the tip of the kicker's shoe is given as

v = 35 m/s

also the length of the tip of the shoe from his hip joint is given as

L = 1.05 m

now the angular speed is given as

\omega = \frac{v}{L}

\omega = \frac{35}{1.05}

\omega = 33.33 rad/s

Part b)

As we know that force on the ball is given as rate of change in momentum of the ball

so it is given as

F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}

so we have

F = \frac{m(v_f - v_i)}{\Delta t}

F = \frac{0.500(20 - 0)}{20 \times 10^{-3}}

F = 500 N

Part c)

As we know that the formula of range is given as

R = \frac{v^2 sin(2\theta)}{g}

now for maximum range we know

\theta = 45 degree

R_{max} = \frac{v^2}{g}

R_{max} = \frac{20^2}{9.8}

R_{max} = 40.8 m
