Yes. Acceleration means any change in speed or direction of motion. When an object coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed around the Earth, its direction is constantly changing. The acceleration is "CENTRIPETAL", which points toward the center of the circle.

Answer: YES it is accelerating and the direction is towards the centre

Explanation:

Acceletion is defined as the ratio of change in velocity in a direction with time. When a space shuttle moves in a circular orbit, accelerating at a constant speed, it's movement is centripetal. And it accelerates towards the centre.

What is the acceleration of a 7 kg mass if the force of 70 N is used to move it toward the Earth?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

m is the mass

f is the force

From the question we have

a =  \frac{70}{7}  = 10 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A car radio draws 0.27 A of current in the autos 12-V electrical system. (a) How much electric power does the radio use?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.24 w (b) 44.44 ohm

Explanation:

It is given that car draws 0.27 A current so current I = 0.27 A

The system has a voltage of 12 V

(a) Electrical power = voltage ×current =12\times 0.27=3.24W

(b) The resistance is defined as the ratio of voltage and current

So resistance R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{12}{0.27}=44.44 ohm
