- If you are trying to get ketchup out of the bottle, the best way to do it is to turn the bottle upside down and give the bottle a sharp upward smack, forcing the bottle rapidly upward. Think about what subsequently happens to the ketchup, which is initially at rest, and use Newton’s first law to explain why this technique is so successful.arrow_forward1. Newton's 2nd Law stipulates that "the sum of all forces acting on an object are equal to the mass times the acceleration of that object." Given the force diagram below, calculate the acceleration of the object (both magnitude and direction). The object is the smiley face, which has a mass of 12.6 kg (it's a very heavy smiley face). FPush = 36.2 N %3D Fg = Weightarrow_forwardObject #1 weighs 200 N on the moon. Object #2 weights 200 N on Earth. Which object has more mass?arrow_forward
- The force of gravity A) is an attractive force only B) is a repulsive force only C) can be an attractive or repulsive force D) is neither an attractive or a repulsive forcearrow_forward12. According to Newtons third law: The action force is equal in magnitude to the reactionforce and opposite in direction. The forces also act on different bodies. What does thisexplain?: a) It explains why the net force is always zero. b) It explains why the net force is not always zero. c) It explains why the Sun is much bigger than Earth. d) None of the abovearrow_forwardWhat is Newton's third law of motion? .Can someone help me please (A) It states that in the absence of outside forces, the total momentum of objects does not change (B). action and reaction (C) It states that if one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object. (D) none of the abovearrow_forward
- A 800 lb space probe is launched from Earth, headed for deep space. a) List the correct equation and solve for mass given that the acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s2 b) At a distance of 15,000 miles from the Earth's center, the space probe releases a payload that reduces the mass of the space probe by 1/4th (i.e., space probe is now 25% lighter in mass). By how much did the gravitational force go up or down after the payload has been released? Start with the equations from the text or class notes and solve.arrow_forwardWhile in space far from any gravitational body, a 120-kg astronaut pushes off a 2400 kg space vehicle. The contact lasts .25 seconds, after which the astronaut is traveling 1 m/s a) what's the magnitude of the pushing force? b) what's the speed of the vehicle after the contact has ended? c) how is Newton's 3rd law demonstrated?arrow_forward#1arrow_forward
