What kind of newtons law of motion is illustrated if the force that accelerates a rocket into outer space is exerted on the rocket by the exhaust gases?

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton's third law of motion)..


What mechanics applies in outer space?

In outer space, objects follow Newton's laws of motion, which describe how forces affect the motion of bodies. There is no atmosphere in space, so objects do not experience air resistance. Gravity is the dominant force that governs the motions of objects in space, causing them to orbit planets or other celestial bodies.


Does absolute motion only exist in outer space?

There is no such thing as "absolute motion" - neither in outer space, nor anywhere else. Motion must always be specified in relationship to some other object.


What is a persons weight in outer space if they weight 637 newtons?

Without the effects of gravity the person will be weightless.


Why would a ball would never stop moving if you give it a push (apply a force to it) in outer space?

In outer space, there is no air resistance or friction to slow down the ball's movement, so it will continue at a constant velocity indefinitely unless acted upon by an external force. This is in accordance with Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a force.


Does force and motion apply in space?

Yes, force and motion still apply in space. Objects in space are affected by forces such as gravity, friction, and momentum, and will continue to move or change direction based on these forces. However, since space is a vacuum, there is very little resistance to motion, so objects can continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by another force.


How does motion occur in outer space?

Motion in outer space occurs through the interaction of gravity and the initial momentum of objects. Once set in motion, objects in space will continue to move in a straight line unless acted upon by another force (such as gravity from a planet or star). The absence of air resistance in space allows objects to travel at constant speeds and maintain their velocity until another force intervenes.


How do you explain how light can travel through the vacuum of space?

Newtons 1st law, "An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force." Basicly the photons travel through space gradually spreading out as they hit different particles.


Is it possible to have motion in absence of force?

Not according to Newtons Law: Forces = Mass X Acceleration However, in a vacuum, after you used your force on an object and it now has motion, the object will have motion for eternity, even when there is no force. So as a matter of fact, it is possible. Just not on any planet, only in outer space.
