Answer:
Scientists plan to release a space probe that will enter the atmosphere of a gaseous planet. The temperature of the gaseous planet increases linearly with the height of the atmosphere as measured from the top of a visible boundary layer, defined as 0 kilometers in altitude. The instruments on board can withstand a temperature of 601 K. At what altitude will the probe's instruments fail? A. 50 kilometers B. 80 kilometers C. 83 kilometers D. 100 kilometers E. 111 kilometers
Explanation:
A. 50 kilometers
a = 7.8 m/s^2
Explanation:
Let Fnet = net force = ma
m = mass of the skydiver
a = acceleration caused by Fnet
W = weight = mg
f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance
Fnet = W - f(air)
= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) - (200 N)
= 780 N
Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is
a = Fnet/m
= (780 N)/(100 kg)
= 7.8 m/s^2
Answer:
Multiplied.
Explanation:
I have a positive feeling about my answer. If I'm wrong, I am terribly sorry!!!
Answer:
The deceleration is 0.18 m/s²
Explanation:
Hi there!
Using Newton´s second law, we can calculate the deceleration:
∑F = m · a
Where:
∑F = the sum of all forces in a given direction.
m = mass of the object.
a = acceleration.
Solving for a:
∑F/m = a
The only force acting on the meteor is the applied force of 8.6 N. So, the acceleration will be:
8.6 N / 48.9 kg = a
a = 0.18 m/s²
The deceleration is 0.18 m/s² or, in other words, the acceleration is -0.18 m/s²
Have a nice day!
