Can gravity be considered a force? Why or Why not?

Gravity can be considered a force (in fact, it is one). Since gravity uses energy to pull "down" on objects, gravity is a force.

Hope this helps!

Yes, because gravity will pull objects down to Earth.

An object is moving in a straight line along the y axis. As a function of time, its position is given by the equation y=3.0+4.8x

romanna [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Instant Velocity and Acceleration </u>

Give the position of an object as a function of time y(x), the instant velocity can be obtained by

$v(x)=y'(x)$

Where y'(x) is the first derivative of y respect to time x. The instant acceleration is given by

$a(x)=v'(x)=y''(x)$

We are given the function for y

$y(x)=3.0+4.8x +6.4x^2$

Note we have changed the last term to be quadratic, so the question has more sense.

The velocity is

$v(x)=y'(x)=4.8+12.8x$

And the acceleration is $a(x)=v'(x)=12.8$

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

2.73414 seconds

467622.66798 J

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

$v=60\times \dfrac{1609.34}{3600}=26.822\ m/s$

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{26.822^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=36.66766\ m$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 36.66766=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{36.66766\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{26.822-0}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s$

The time taken is 2.73414 seconds

The potential energy is given by

$U=mgh\\\Rightarrow U=1300\times 9.81\times 36.66766\\\Rightarrow U=467622.66798\ J$

The change in potential energy is 467622.66798 J

A race car has a centriple acceleration of 15.625 m/s as it goes around a curve if the curve is a circle with radius 40 m what’s

Elanso [62]

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius.

a = v² / r

15.625 m/s² = v² / (40 m)

v² = 625 m²/s²

v = 25 m/s

The speed of the car is 25 m/s.
