When a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star.This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas & dust.
Answer:
Explanation:
This problem can be solved easily if we represent velocity in the form of vector.
The velocity of 351 was towards easterly direction so
V₁ = 351 i
The velocity of 351 was towards south west making - 48° with east or + ve x direction.
V₂ = 351 Cos 48 i - 351 sin 48 j
V₂ = 234.86 i - 260.84 j
Change in velocity
= V₂ - V₁ = 234.86 i - 260.84 j - 351 i
= -116.14 i - 260.84 j
acceleration
= change in velocity / time
(-116.14 i - 260.84 j )/ 1
= -116.14 i - 260.84 j
magnitude = 285.53 ms⁻²
Direction
Tan θ = 260.84 / 116.14 = 2.246
θ = 66 degree south of west .
