1 Point

When a rocket engine fires on the International Space Station to adjust its

orbit, the rocket expels the combustion products of the rocket fuel into space

and the Station moves away from the direction the rocket is pointed. This is

an application of Newton's law of motion.

Respuesta :

Answer:

SECOND LAW OF NEWTON

Explanation:

When the rocket fires the engines the gases leave at high speed and collide with the space station, transferring an impulse given by the expression

                I = F t = Δp

As we can see this expression is a form of Newton's second law

           F = m a

           a = dv / dt

           F = m dv / dt

           F dt = m dv

           p = mv

           F dt = dp

Therefore the station moves through the SECOND LAW OF NEWTON
