As a rocket ascends, its acceleration increases even though the net force on it stays constant. why? (assume a traveling distance small enough that the thrust, acceleration due to gravity and atmosphere do not change. the faster a rocket moves the more acceleration is imparted to it from a given force. as a rocket ascends it's momentum increases with it's speed. the greater the momentum of the rocket, the greater the acceleration imparted to it from a given force. as the rocket ascends, fuel is burned at a faster rate resulting in a larger acceleration. the rocket's mass decreases as its fuel is consumed. the same net force acting on a smaller mass results in a larger acceleration.

Agas initially at p1 = 1 bar and occupying a volume of 0.5 liter is compressed within a piston–cylinder assembly to a final pressure p2 = 4 bar. (a) if the relationship between pressure and volume during the compression is pv = constant, determine the volume, in liters, at a pressure of 3 bar. (b) repeat for a linear pressure–volume relationship between the same end states. reference

Thomas his older brothers, who own a junk yard, on the weekends to earn extra money. he likes to them push broken-down cars to the back of the junk yard because it makes him feel strong. last saturday, they pushed three cars with different weights, and he noticed he used different amounts of force for each one. the cars were the following weights: white car: 2,700 kg red car: 1,500 kg blue car: 2,100 kg think about how much force is needed to move each car. which correctly lists the cars in order from the most to least amount of force needed to move them? a) white, blue, red b) blue, red, white c) red, white, blue d) white, red, blue
