To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.

In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.

PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,

X_f = X_i +\frac{1}{2}(V_i+V_f)t

Where,

X = Desplazamiento

V = Velocity

t = Time

In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore

X_f = \frac{1}{2} (V_i+V_f)t

Clearing for time,

t = \frac{2X_f}{(V_i+V_f)}

t = \frac{2*1.2}{24+0}

t = 0.1s

PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:

F = ma

Where,

m=mass

a = acceleration

Acceleration can also be written as,

a= \frac{\Delta V}{t}

Then

F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}

F = m\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}

F = m\frac{-V_i}{t}

F = \frac{(1600kg)(-24m/s)}{(0.1s)}

F = -384000N

Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.

PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as

V_f^2=V_i^2-2ax

0 = (24m/s)^2-2*a(1.2m)

a = \frac{(24m/s)^2}{1.2m}

a=480m/s^2

The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is

a = 480*\frac{g}{9.8}

a = 53.3g

Two charges with a certain distance apart have an electrostatic force of 400 N acting
Doss [256]
As the charges’ distance increase, there is a weaker force of attraction between them hence the electrostatic force decreases as distance increases. It increase by 4 (times 4) so the force will decrease by 4 making the answer

=A (400 divided by 4 = 100)

liberstina [14]

Answer:

One of Eight Planets : Earth

Spiral galaxy, One of the estimated billions of galaxies: Milky Way

Galaxy: Milky Way

Explanation:

According to the definition, appositive or apposition is a grammatical construction which represents similar noun phrases and nouns where one serves or defines the other one.

Here, the ultimate examples of apposition are mentioned in the given statement as Earth: One of Eight Planets, Milky Way: Spiral Galaxy and one of the estimated billions of galaxies: Milky Way.

With such kinds of words, it's easier to understand the noun or renames with a short definition written as a phrase.
