I'm sure you've noticed that an airplane high in the sky, far away
from you, looks like it's moving very slowly. At the same time,
somebody passing you on a skateboard whizzes past you at
high speed. The farther away something is from you, the slower
it appears to move.
The nearest star outside the solar system is almost 32 thousand times
as far away from us as the farthest visible planet (Saturn) is, and all of the
other stars are farther than that.
That's why you have to wait a few thousand years before you notice
that the shape of a constellation has changed.
To put it a slightly different way . . . Everything is in motion. The motion is
more noticeable for nearby things, and less noticeable for farther-away things.
Objects within our solar system are the only ones near enough so that a human
lifetime is a long enough period in which to notice the change in their position.
Even Pluto moves less then 1.5° against the 'background' stars in a whole year.
This all makes me feel small. How about you ?
If he feels like, is interested in it, and is able to grasp it, then why not ? Why not indeed ?
Find Acceleration
Now
Using 1st equation of kinematics
Answer:
4. Force = 178.6 Newton.
5. Acceleration = 2.28 m/s².
6. Force = 178.6 Newton.
Explanation:
4. Given the following data;
Acceleration = 3.8 m/s²
Mass = 47kg
Force = mass * acceleration
Force = 47 * 3.8
<em>Force = 178.6 Newton. </em>
5. Given the following data;
Force = 785N
Mass = 345kg
Acceleration = force/mass
Acceleration = 785/345
<em>Acceleration = 2.28 m/s²</em>
6. Given the following data;
Acceleration = 6m/s²
Force = 32N
Mass =force/acceleration
Mass = 32/6
<em>Mass = 5.33 kilograms </em>
