Answer:

Explanation:

constant velocity means zero acceleration because acceleration is rate of change of velocity. So when velocity remains constant there would be no acceleration.

in case of constant acceleration it means that velocity changes but with some consistent (same) amount each time. For example some object falling from tower, Velocity of the object will change(increases) by 9.8m/s for each second due to gravity of Earth. In this case there is change in velocity each second but with some consistent amount that is 9.8m/s.

No they are very different and are even measured in different units. Velocity is usually defined as “the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.”
Hope this helps. Have a good day.

gladu [14]

Hi there!

The period of an orbit can be found by:

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)

v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)

This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.

Let's plug in what we know and solve.

$T = \frac{2\pi (6400000)}{8000} = \boxed{5026.55 s}$

A(n) 55.5 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.6 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The spring force constant is $k=243\ \frac{N}{m}$ .

Explanation:

We are told the mass of the ball is $m=0.0555\ kg$ , the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is $h=0.536\ m$ , the length the ball compresses the spring is $d=0.04897\ m$ and the acceleration of gravity is $9.8\ \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy $E_{mi}$ is equal to the final mechanical energy $E_{mf}$ :

$E_{mf}=E_{mi}$

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

$\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=mgh$
