Scientists launch a rocket, and they monitor its acceleration and the force exerted by its engines. As the rocket gets higher, the monitors show that the acceleration of the rocket is increasing but the force exerted stays the same. How do Newton’s laws explain why the scientists could expect this to happen?

A
The total force stays the same, but the action force is increasing as the reaction decreases.
B
The mass of the rocket decreases as fuel is burned, so the acceleration increases.
C
The inertia of the rocket increases, which reduces the force needed to change its speed.
D
The reaction force is increasing as fuel is burned, which causes a greater acceleration.

What must be included when describing the displacement of an object?

A
measurement and direction
B
direction and speed
C
total distance and position
D
speed and total distance

A relationship exists between gravity, mass, and distance. The greater the mass of the objects, the greater the gravitational force between them. The greater the distance between the objects, the weaker the gravitational force between them.

A
two objects, each with a mass of 10 kg, separated by a distance of 10 m
B
two objects, each with a mass of 20 kg, separated by a distance of 10 m
C
two objects, each with a mass of 20 kg, separated by a distance of 15 m
D
two objects, each with a mass of 10 kg, separated by a distance of 15 m
