Questions and Answers

Why does the child move his hand backwards along with the ball when catching it?

  • The ball exerts a force on the child's hand pushing it backward. (correct)
  • The child applies an equal and opposite force to stop the ball.
  • To prevent the ball from bouncing back.
  • It is the child's natural reflex to move their hand back.

    • Why does the rope only move in one direction during a tug of war, even though both teams are applying force?

  • The rope is designed to only move in one direction.
  • The force applied by the stronger team overcomes the force applied by the weaker team. (correct)
  • The forces applied by both teams are balanced.
  • The team pulling in the opposite direction is weaker.

    Explain why large rockets are needed to launch satellites into space?

    <p>Large rockets are needed to launch satellites into space to overcome the Earth's gravitational pull. The Earth exerts a strong gravitational force on objects near its surface, and it takes considerable energy to overcome this force and propel a satellite into space. Because large rockets are capable of generating significant thrust, they provide the necessary energy to accelerate the satellite to escape velocity, which allows it to break free from the Earth's gravity and enter orbit.</p> Signup and view all the answers
