Question
as a rocket burns fuel, it becomes lighter and accelerates faster. this demonstrates: newton’s second law newton’s third law newton’s first law the law of conservation of energy multiple choice 1 point in a system such as bumper cars or rockets, what do newton’s laws eliminate all external forces. only describe the motion of one object. measure only the strength of gravity.
Newton's Second Law is $F = ma$ (force equals mass times acceleration). As a rocket burns fuel, its mass decreases. With a constant - thrust force (assuming the engine's thrust remains the same), according to $a=\frac{F}{m}$, as $m$ decreases, $a$ (acceleration) increases. Newton's First Law is about an object's tendency to stay at rest or in uniform - motion unless acted upon by an external force. Newton's Third Law is about action - reaction pairs. The Law of Conservation of Energy is about the total energy of a closed system remaining constant. For the second question, Newton's Laws are used to describe the motion of objects and the forces acting on them in a system like bumper cars or rockets, not to eliminate external forces, nor to measure only the strength of gravity, and they can describe the motion of multiple objects in a system.
