Acceleration=(change in speed)/(time for the change). 43/0.28 = 153.6 m/s^2.

Answer:

a =-153.6\ m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Since we are assuming that is acceleration in water is constant, we are going to use one of the uniform accelerated motion formulas. Since we know the initial velocity (v_{0}=43 m/s), the final velocity (v_f=0) and, the time it takes to stop (t=0.28s) so, we are going to use:

v_{f}=v_{0}+at,

where a is the acceleration.

Solving for the acceleration

a=\dfrac{v_{f}-v_{0}}{t}

and, computing

a =\dfrac{0-43}{0.28}\\\\a=-153.6\ m/s^{2}.

Notice that the acceleration is negative. This is because the speed decreases when the hailstone enters the water.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

In theory, the gravitational pull between the planets depends on their total mass and the distance between them. The sun has a mass of 1.989x10^{30} kg, Jupiter has a mass of 1.898x10^{27} kg and Earth has a mass of 5.972x10^{24} kg.

Earth is closer to Jupiter than it is to the sun. The other planets that are behind jupiter are gone so that means the sun's pulling force's effect on jupiter is increased drastically since there is no force the balance that and that means that jupiter is going to get closer to earth.

The new center of mass of the new solar system is roughly located between earth and the sun, closer to earth.

I hope this answer helps.

A square coil of wire with 15 turns and an area of 0.40 m2 is placed parallel to a magnetic field of 0.75 T. The coil is flipped
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The magnitude of the average induced emf is 90V

Explanation:

Given;

area of the square coil, A = 0.4 m²

number of turns, N = 15 turns

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 0.75 T

time of change of magnetic field, t = 0.05 s

The magnitude of the average induced emf is given by;

E = -NAB/t

E = -(15 x 0.4 x 0.75) / 0.05

E = -90 V

|E| = 90 V

Therefore, the magnitude of the average induced emf is 90V

If there is no oxygen in outer space, and, at the same time, oxygen must be present for fire, where does the sun come from?​
victus00 [196]

The sun is a huge ball of gas held together by gravity.

It does not burn the way wood does, due to oxygen, but it gets energy by a process called nuclear fusion, where Hydrogen is converted to Helium.

The sun will cease to "burn" when it runs out of Hydrogen, but that has a long way to go.

Orlov [11]

Answer:

The units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.

Explanation:

P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.

Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.

Thus, the units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.
