Answer:

   a = 8.4 m / s²

Explanation:

The mean acceleration is defined by

          a = (v_f- v₀) / (t_f - t₀)

where v are the final and initial velocities, respectively and t is the time interval

Let's apply this equation to our case

the final velocity is 99 m / s and the initial velocity is 57 m / s

         a = (99 - 57) / (15 - 10)

         a = 8.4 m / s²

Calculate the tension (in N) in a vertical strand of spiderweb if a spider of mass 5.00 ✕ 10-5 kg hangs motionless on it.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the vertical strand of spiderweb  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg

Unknown:

Tension in the vertical strand  = ?

Solution:

The tension is the vertical strand will be the weight of the strand.

  Weight of strand  = mg

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg  x 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

With what initial velocity must an object be thrown upward from a height of 2 meters to reach a maximum hieght of 200 meters
larisa86 [58]
The equations of motion to use for a constant acceleration a = g = -9.81:
v = gt + v_0
y = \frac{1}{2} g t^{2} + v_0t + y_0

at the highest point the velocity must be zero:
0 = gt + v_0 \\ v_0 = -gt
combine both equations:
y =  \frac{1}{2}  \frac{v_0^{2} }{g}  -   \frac{v_0^{2} }{g}  + y_0=  -\frac{1}{2}  \frac{v_0^{2} }{g} + y_0
Solve for v₀:
v_0 =   \sqrt{2g(y_0 - y)}

Is the term used to describe an object with enough orbital energy to escape earth completely?
Komok [63]
Escape velocity describes its speed. It becomes a satellite instead of falling back to earth because as it falls under Earth’s gravity the Earth has moved so the satellite falls around the planet instead of down to the ground.
