Answer:
(a) - 42700 m/s
(b) - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2
Explanation:
initial velocity of star, u = 20.7 km/s
Final velocity of star, v = - 22 km/s
time, t = 1.99 years
Convert velocities into m/s and time into second
So, u = 20700 m / s
v = - 22000 m/s
t = 1.99 x 365.25 x 24 x 3600 = 62799624 second
(a) Change in planet's velocity = final velocity - initial velocity
= - 22000 - 20700 = - 42700 m/s
(b) Accelerate is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
Acceleration = change in velocity / time
= ( - 42700 ) / (62799624) = - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2
Answer:
7.1 m/s
Explanation:
First, find the time it takes for the fish to reach the water.
Given in the y direction:
Δy = 6.1 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
Find: t
Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²
6.1 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²
t = 1.12 s
Next, find the velocity needed to travel 7.9 m in that time.
Given in the x direction:
Δx = 7.9 m
a = 0 m/s²
t = 1.12 s
Find: v₀
Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
7.9 m = v₀ (1.12 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.12 s)²
v₀ = 7.1 m/s
Magnitudes are measured by intensity so a 3.4 earthquake is much less stronger than a 4.5 earthquake it’s very literally when measuring them the higher the number the stronger it is
