Explanation:
Rocket propulsion: expelled gases backwards impart forward momentum to rocket. Total momentum of rocket + exhaust gases remains conserved. No external force, so momentum conservation applies. Jet engines also work on similar principle.
Which scientific instrument is used specifically for measuring very high temperatures, such as the surface temperature of the Sun or inside a furnace, from a distance?
Explanation:
A pyrometer is a non-contact thermometer used to measure high temperatures. It operates on the principle of thermal radiation (Stefan-Boltzmann law or Wien's law), measuring the intensity or spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the extremely hot object. A cryometer measures very low temperatures, and a calorimeter measures heat capacity.
