Answer:

s^ -1    ( or    1/sec)

Explanation:

Velocity is given in units of displacement / sec

like feet /sec   or   m/sec    

so b would have units of   s^-1

(or perhaps a more general term would be   time^-1)

A 1.5-kilogram cart initially moves at 2.0 meters per second. It is brought to rest by a constant net force in 0.30 second. What
AnnZ [28]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.

The cart's acceleration is

                               (0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)

                           = ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²)  =  -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .

Newton's second law of motion says

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

For this cart:      Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)

                                       = ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)

<span>                                       =      </span>- 10 newtons .

<span>The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction </span>
<span>in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration, </span>
<span>and it eventually stops the cart.</span>

Suppose that a comet that was seen in 550 A.D. by Chinese astronomers was spotted again in year 1941. Assume the time between ob
pickupchik [31]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kepler's third law as well as the calculation of distances in orbits with eccentricities.

Kepler's third law tells us that

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

Where

T= Period

G= Gravitational constant

M = Mass of the sun

a= The semimajor axis of the comet's orbit

The period in years would be given by

T= 1941-550\\T= 1391y(\frac{31536000s}{1y})\\T=4.3866*10^{10}s

PART A) Replacing the values to find a, we have

a^3= \frac{T^2 GM}{4\pi^2}

a^3 = \frac{(4.3866*10^{10})^2(6.67*10^{-11})(1.989*10^{30})}{4\pi^2}

a^3 = 6.46632*10^{39}

a = 1.86303*10^{13}m

Therefore the semimajor axis is 1.86303*10^{13}m

PART B) If the semi-major axis a and the eccentricity e of an orbit are known, then the periapsis and apoapsis distances can be calculated by

R = a(1-e)

R = 1.86303*10^{13}(1-0.997)

R= 5.58*10^{10}m

Tenemos un Cable de cobre de 1 km de longitud cuya sección es de 2 milímetros al cuadrado y queremos saber la resistencia que se
Nady [450]

Answer:

8.5 Ω

Explanation:

La resistencia de un material es directamente proporcional a su longitud e inversamente proporcional al área de la sección transversal.

La fórmula de la resistencia (R) viene dada por:

R = ρL/A

Donde ρ es la resistividad del material, L es la longitud del material y A es el área de la sección transversal del material.

Dado que:

L = 1 km = 1000 m, A = 2 mm² = 2 * 10⁻⁶ m², ρ (cobre) = 1.7 * 10⁻⁸ Ωm

Sustituyendo da:

R = 1,7 * 10⁻⁸ * 1000/2 * 10⁻⁶

R = 8.5 Ω

HELP PLS!!!! Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is th
maw [93]

You've already told us the speed in ft/s .  It's right there in the question.  You said that light travels about  982,080,000 ft/s.

We don't know how accurate that number is, but for purposes of THIS question, that's the number we're going with.

In scientific notation, it's written . . . <em>9.8208 x 10⁸ ft/s .</em>

We don't know where you were going with the number of seconds in a year.  But to answer the question that you eventually asked, it turned out that we don't even need it.
