What is the rate of acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Physics
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Negative 9.8 meters per second squared

Explanation:

The negative is for the direction (down, towards the center of the earth). Often this can be estimated as -10 m/s^2 to make calculations easier.

When you whisper, you produce a 10-dB sound.
lora16 [44]
All you would do is for a, 10 times 2 is 20 so it would be 20-dB
For b, 10 times 4 is 40 so it would be 40-dB
For c, 10 times 8 is 80 so it would be 80-dB

For a plane mirror,how is the object s related to the distance s?
dlinn [17]
Light is a very complex phenomenon, but in many situations its behavior can be understood with a simple model based on rays and wave fronts. A ray is a thin beam of light that travels in a straight line. A wave front is the line (not necessarily straight) or surface connecting all the light that left a source at the same time. For a source like the Sun, rays radiate out in all directions; the wave fronts are spheres centered on the Sun. If the source is a long way away, the wave fronts can be treated as parallel lines.

Rays and wave fronts can generally be used to represent light when the light is interacting with objects that are much larger than the wavelength of light, which is about 500 nm. In particular, we'll use rays and wave fronts to analyze how light interacts with mirrors and lenses.

Puck 1 (1 kg) travels with velocity 30 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (1 kg) which is initially at rest. After th
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

v₂ = 22.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

For puck 1

m₁= 1 kg

u₁= 30 m/s

For puck 2

m₂= 1 kg

u₂= 0 m/s

After collision

Puck 1 have velocity v₁=7.5 m/s

Take puck 2 will have velocity v₂

From linear momentum conservation

P₁=P₂

m₁ u₁+m₂ u₂=m₁ v₁+m₂ v₂

1 x 30 + 1 x 0 = 1 x 7.5 + 1 x v₂

30 - 7.5 =v₂

v₂ = 22.5 m/s

The length of a planet's day is determined by it's
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: "People will say the length of a day is determined by just the rotation rate of a planet, but that isn’t entirely true. The orbit around its sun also factors in. What we define as a day is the time between when the Sun is highest in the sky until the next time the Sun is at the highest point in the sky. This isn’t just the time it takes the Earth to rotate once on its axis, though. This is because, as the Earth is rotating, it’s also moving relative to the Sun"
