Answer:

C. -1m/s² east

Explanation:

starting velocity u= 8m/s

final velocity  v=7m/s

time t=1second

we know,

average acceleration=(v-u)/t

                                   ={ (7-8)/1 } m/s²

                                   =(-1/1 ) m/s²

                                    =-1 m/s²

the result is negative because his  final velocity is less than  starting velocity. That means there will be deceleration instead of acceleration.

During which two time intervals does the particle undergo equal displacement?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

BC and DE

Explanation:

In the given figure, the velocity time graph is shown. We know that the area under v-t curve gives the displacement of the particle.

Area under AB, d_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10=10\ m

Area under BC, d_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m

Area under CD, d_3=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 7=7\ m

Area under DE, d_4=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4=4\ m

Area under EF, d_5=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 3=3\ m

So, form above calculations it is clear that, during BC and DE undergo equal displacement. Hence, the correct option is (c) "BC and DE = 4 meters".

Which of the following statements correctly describes the models put forth by Ptolemy and Copernicus to explain the universe? A.
FrozenT [24]
The correct option is D. 
The model developed by Ptolemy has a lot of inconsistency and during the middle age additional explanation was offered for the claims made by the model. The model was very complicated because it was based on erroneous assumptions.
Copernicus model was simpler and some of his claims were correct.<span />

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

weight at height = 100 N .

Explanation:

The problem relates to variation of weight  due to change in height .

Let g₀ and g₁ be acceleration due to gravity , m is mass of the object .

At the surface :

Applying Newton's law of gravitation

mg₀ = G Mm / R²

At height h from centre

mg₁ = G Mm /h²

Given mg₀ = 400 N

400 = G Mm / R²

400 = G Mm / (6400 x 10³ )²

G Mm = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²

At height h from centre

mg₁ =  400 x (6400 x 10³ )²/ ( 2 x 6400 x 10³)²

= 400 / 4

= 100 N .

weight at height = 100 N
