A rocket is propelled forward as very high speed gases are ejected out of its back. Which one of the following is the best explanation as to why the rocket is propelled forward? The high speed gases push on the rocket as they are ejected and propel it forward. B) The rocket is propelled forward because both energy and momentum must be conserved. The rocket is propelled forward due to the conservation of momentum. Because the gases are pushing against the air, the air propels the rocket forward.

The following question concerns a collision in outer space, far enough from any planets so that the external forces can be considered as negligible. An unmanned spacecraft, having mass 1,500,000 kg and speed 25,000 km/hr collides with a small meteor, having mass 3,000 kg and speed 2,100 km/hr, in the Kuiper belt. a. Prior to the collision, what are the total kinetic energy and total momentum? b. Assuming a head-on collision, in which the meteor becomes lodged into the spacecraft’s body and the two objects move off together, what are the total kinetic energy and momentum after the collision? c. If instead of getting lodged into the spacecraft, the meteor bounced off, would the change in the space craft’s momentum be larger or smaller, or is there not enough information to tell? Explain.
A child runs at 3.0 m/s and jumps onto a sled, initially at rest. If the child's mass is 40 kg, and the sled's mass is 20 kg, what is the speed the child and sled slide off together after the collision? O2.0 m/s O 0.5 m/s O 3.0 m/s O 1.0 m/s
You find yourself stuck in outer space with nothing but your physics book and a space suit. You have a mass of 91 kg in your suit, and your physics book has a mass of 2.3 kg. In order to make it back to your stationary spaceship before running out of air, you must move at 0.18 m/s. How fast (in m/s) do you have to throw your physics book to achieve this speed?
36. It is known that a lab cart is moving east at 25 cm/s at time t1 = 0.10 s, and then moving east at 15 cm/s at t2 = 0.20 s. Is this enough information to determine the direction of the net force acting on the cart between t1 and t2? Yes, since we know the cart is slowing down, its momentum change is opposite the direction of movement, and the net force is in the direction of momentum change. No, because we don’t know whether forces such as friction or air resistance might be acting on the cart. No, because we don’t know the mass of the cart. Yes, since we know the cart keeps moving to the east, the net force must be in the direction of motion.
6. A 60 kg astronaut is on a spacewalk when the tether line to the shuttle breaks. The astronaut is able to throw a spare 15 kg oxygen tank in a direction away from the shuttle with a speed of 10 m/s, propelling the astronaut back to the shuttle. Assuming that the astronaut starts from rest with respect to the shuttle, find the astronaut's final speed with respect to the shuttle after the tank is thrown.
Current Attempt in Progress An object, with mass 27 kg and speed 22 m/s relative to an observer, explodes into two pieces, one 4 times as massive as the other; the explosion takes place in deep space.
