Question 9 of 10 How does Newton's third law explain how a rocket is launched upward?
A. The force of Earth's gravity balances with the force of the rocket
engines.
B. The rocket will remain motionless on the launchpad until an
unbalanced force is applied.
C. The mass of the rocket determines how much force is needed to
move it into orbit.
OD. The force it exerts on its exhaust gases is equal to the force the
exhaust gases exert on the rocket.

Abasketball star covers 2.65 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. his motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. his center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. it reaches a maximum height of 1.90 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.910 m when he touches down again. (a) determine his time of flight (his "hang time"). (b) determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff. (c) determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff. (d) determine his takeoff angle. (e) for comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.45 m, and yf = 0.750 m.
