Question
as a rocket burns fuel, it becomes lighter and accelerates faster. this demonstrates: newtons second law newtons third law newtons first law the law of conservation of energy 3 multiple choice 1 point in a system such as bumper cars or rockets, what do newtons laws eliminate all external forces. only describe the motion of one object. measure only the strength of gravity.
Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times acceleration ($F = ma$). As a rocket burns fuel, its mass decreases. With a constant - thrust force, according to the law, its acceleration increases. Newton's First Law is about an object's inertia, Newton's Third Law is about action - reaction pairs, and the Law of Conservation of Energy is about energy transformation and conservation, not directly related to the mass - acceleration relationship here.
