Question

HELP!!! I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. A rocket has a mass of 0.8 kg and an engine that provides 100 N of force. A second rocket is being designed to use the same engine but accelerate at half the rate of the first rocket. What is the mass of the second rocket?

a. 0.4 kg
b. 1.6 kg
c. 2.4 kg
d. 0.8 kg


2. Which of the following would be a situation with unbalanced forces?

a. Two people pulling on the same side of a wheelbarrow
b. A team of players in tug of war pulling on the rope, each team with equal numbers of people pulling with equal strength
c. Two people of opposite sides of a big tire. One pushes the tire and one pulls it with equal force
d. Two people not touching a crate that is sitting stationary.


3. Why is it generally easier to push a heavy object that is already moving instead of the same heavy object that is stationary

a. The force of gravity on the object is different if it is stationary or not.
b. The force of friction on the object is different if it is stationary or not
c. The force of the push on the object is different if it is stationary or not
d. The normal force on the object is different if it is stationary or not.

Thanks In Advance!! (I will mark brainliest) :)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The engine should create the same force

1) F = ma

  F = M(½a)

therefore

ma = ½Ma

 m = ½M

 M = 2m

 M = 2(0.8)

 M = 1.6 kg

2) Unbalanced forces

 a. Two people pulling on the same side of a wheelbarrow

 c. Two people of opposite sides of a big tire. One pushes the tire and one pulls it with equal force

3) b. The force of friction on the object is different if it is stationary or not
