Answer:
Acceleration:
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity:
where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v
For the space probe in this problem, we have:
u = 100 ft/s (initial velocity)
v = 5000 ft/s (final velocity)
t = 0.5 s (time taken)
Therefore, the acceleration is
Answer:
0.088 seconds
0.0880000273785 second
0.08800054757 seconds
Explanation:
In the question it is given each century adds 1 ms to a day due to the slowing rotation of the Earth
In 88 centuries the length of the first day of the year will be
88 × 1 = 88 ms = 0.088 seconds
1 ms = 1 century
1 century = 100 years × 365.25 days
⇒1 ms = 36525 days
Sum of the gain on the first day would be
0.088 + 2.7378×10⁻⁸ = 0.0880000273785 second
Sum of the gain on the second day would be
0.088 + 2.7378×10⁻⁸+2.7378×10⁻⁸ = 0.08800054757 seconds
