which of the following rules of fire is based on which vuttons law? the principle behind the flight of rocket explain in your words
Answers
Answer:
This law of motion is essentially a statement of a mathematical equation. The three parts of the equation are mass (m), acceleration (a), and force (f). Using letters to symbolize each part, the equation can be written as follows:
F = ma
Let's apply this principle to a rocket. The pressure created by the controlled explosion taking place inside the rocket's engines is a force called thrust. That pressure accelerates the gas one way and the rocket the other.
The thrust for the rocket continues as long as its engines are firing. Because propellant is burned up, the mass of the rocket changes during flight. Its mass is the sum of all its parts. Rocket parts includes engines, payload, control system, propellant tanks, and propellants. By far, the largest part of the rocket's mass is its propellants. But this mass constantly changes as the engines fire since the engines expell the used fuel in the exhaust plume. Thus the rocket's mass smaller during flight. In order for the left side of our equation to remain in balance with the right side, acceleration of the rocket has to increase as its mass decreases. That is why a rocket starts off moving slowly and goes faster and faster as it climbs into space.
