Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration) (Newton #2)

Net Force = (50 kg) x (6 m/s² down)

Net Force = (50 * 6) (kg-m/s² down)

<em>Net Force = 300 Newtons down</em>

Av Speed = total distance / time time = 32+ 46 / 2.7 = 28 m/sec
Av velocity = total displacement / time total = S / t
S = sqrt( 32^2 +46^2) = 56 m
Av Velocity = 56/ 2,7 = 20.75 m/sec

1. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his<br>acceleration?

Lapatulllka [165]

The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.

Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.

$Acceleration = \frac{Change in velocity}{Time taken}$

Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².

So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Describe and compare the rings of Saturn and Uranus, including their possible origins.

Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

Okay, well, Saturn's rings form a wide and complex system, consisting mostly of particles and pieces of ice, and are highly visible. They may have formed from one or more moons that broke up due to a collision, or are left over from early debris that never coalesced into a moon... And, The rings of Uranus are thin and hard to see, consisting mostly of chunks of carbon and hydrocarbons with very little reflectivity. They may also have formed from the breakup of a small moon due to a collision. They may be kept thin by the presence of shepherd moons.
