The primary answer is that a rocket under constant acceleration is using up fuel, so it's mass decreases as the fuel is spent.

When a bullet is fired upwards vertically it gains?

When a bullet is fired upwards vertically, it gains potential energy as it rises due to the increase in its height above the ground. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the bullet falls back to the ground. The total mechanical energy of the bullet remains constant neglecting air resistance.


How does sound travel upwards in different mediums?

Sound travels upwards in different mediums by vibrating particles in the medium, creating a wave that moves through the material. The speed of sound varies depending on the medium's properties, such as density and elasticity. In solids, sound travels fastest due to the close arrangement of particles, while in liquids and gases, sound travels slower because the particles are more spread out.


Does lighting travel up or down?

Lightning travels both up and down. It typically originates from the ground and travels upwards to meet the downward-moving charge from the clouds. This forms a visible lightning bolt.


Give a situation when an object is with 0 velocitybut wieh a constant accelaration?

If you through an object up, at its highest point it will have zero velocity (only for that instant). But all the time it is subject to an acceleration of 9.8 meters per square second (downward).


When tossing a coin upwards what happens to its velocity while ascending what happens to its acceleration?

As the coin is tossed upwards, its velocity decreases until it reaches its highest point where it momentarily stops before coming back down. The acceleration due to gravity is acting against the coin's motion, causing it to decelerate while ascending.

What is equilibrium of submerge body?

The equilibrium of a submerged body occurs when the buoyant force acting upwards is equal to the weight of the body acting downwards. This balance of forces ensures that the body remains at a constant depth in the fluid without sinking or rising.

What happens if your density is lighter than the density of air?

you will start to float upwards in the atmosphere. The density of air decreases as you go higher in the atmosphere. You will stop going upwards when you reach a height where the air density is the same as your density.

Where is the aorta?

The aorta is the main artery leaving the heart. It begins at the top of the left ventricle and travels upwards before splitting into smaller arteries.

How does carpet prevent heat loss?

carpet has fine fibres in it. heat travels upwards so when it does the carpet fibres traps the heat. The thicker the carpet the better.
