You are running at a speed of 10km/h and hit a patch of mud. Two seconds later you speed is 8km/h. What is your acceleration in
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

0.28 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem:

u = 10 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=2.78 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 8 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}= 2.22 m/s is the final velocity

t = 2 s is the time

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{2.78-2.22}{2}=0.28 m/s^2

. Orbit of a satellite It is advantageous to place communications satellites in a circular orbit so that their position is fixed
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

a) r = 4.22 10⁷ m, b)  v = 3.07 10³ m / s  and c)  a = 0.224 m / s²

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where acceleration is centripetal and force is gravitational force

     F = m a

     a = v² / r

     F = G m M / r²

    G m M / r² = m v² / r

    G M / r = v²

The squared velocity is a scalar and this value is constant, so let's use the uniform motion relationships

     v = d / t

As the orbit is circular the distance is the length of the circle in 24 h time

     d = 2π r

     t = 24 h (3600 s / 1 h) = 86400 s

Let's replace

     G M / r = (2π r / t)²

     G M = 4 π² r³ / t²

     r = ∛(G M t² / (4π²)

     r = ∛( 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ 86400² / (4π²)) = ∛( 75.4 10²¹)

     r = 4.22 10⁷ m

b) the speed module is

    v = √G M / r

    v = √(6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴/ 4.22 10⁷

    v = 3.07 10³ m / s

c) the acceleration is

    a = G M / r²

    a = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ / (4.22 10⁷)²

    a = 0.224 m / s²

Drag racing cars are very elongated with the front wheels placed very far away from the rear wheels. This placement helps keep t
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Now for this kind of phenomena in which drag cars are very elongated with front wheels placed far away from the rear wheels resulting in keeping the car front end from nosing upward,this is due to the reason because it helps in shifting the center of mass towards the front.

Hence when the car accelerates

         torque due to gravity = torque due to air friction
