    How Does a Rocket Engine Maintain Constant Thrust While Power Increases?

    ok here's the problem. i really need on this. its not a calculation but more of an explanation. Consider a rocket engine. It delivers a constant thrust, which is the force exerted on the rocket by the expanding exhaust gases from the burning fuel.This typically is true in real life:both the...

    Acceleration, distance, and friction

    ok..i got that formula now...so will it be friction=(0.007)(137N) and i get .959

    Acceleration, distance, and friction

    heres a problem I am stuck on..can someone please help me? a skater has a mass of 78 kg is pushes with a constant force of 137N for a time of 3.3 sec on the ice. the coefficient of friction of the blades against the ice is 0.007. 1. find the skaters acceleration, taking friction into...

    Velocity vs time graph of runner

    velocity vs time graph! hola everyone! i have posted this before but not sure it went through...i would appeciated it is someone would help me with it. The world record in the 100m dash set by usain "lighting" bolt at the 2009 world championships, is 9.58s. draw a velocity-vs-time graph of...

    Acceleration, velocity and position

    hello. I am taking university physics and I am having a difficult time with this problem. can someone help me with it? i really appreciate it very much :) You're testing out a new automobile: starting from rest, you put it through its paces as follows. a. accelerate for 6.3s at 3.9 m s-2...
