Harman [31]3 years ago

Earlier in the text this question is provided for, you should be able to find the passage, "The currently accepted theory attributes ice ages to small changes in Earth's orbit, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles describe how Earth's orbit gradually changes shape from more circular to more elliptical and back again. This happens roughly every 100,000 years. The orbital changes take Earth nearer and further from the Sun, which would affect the amount of energy reaching Earth."

Answer: Small changes in Earth's orbit

Can some answer 7 a and b please
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a.After 15 second Mr Comer's speed =  1.7 m/s

b.Distance travelled by Mr.Comer in 15 seconds  =   18.75\ m

Explanation:

a. Lets recall our first equation of motion V_{f} =V_{i} + at

Now we know that V_{i} = 0.8m/s , a = 0.06\ m/s^2 and

t = 15 \ sec

Plugging the values we have.

V_{f} =V_{i} + at

V_{f} =0.8 + 0.06 \times 15

V_{f} =0.8+ 0.9

V_{f} =1.7 m/s

Then Mr.Comer's speed after 15 sec = 1.7ms^-1

b.

Lets find the distance and recall our third equation of motion.

V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2 = 2as

So s = distance covered.

Dividing both sides with 2a we have.

\frac{V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2}{2a} = 2as

Plugging the values.

\frac{(1.7)^2-(0.8)^2}{2\times0.06} = 2as

s= 18.75\ m

So Mr.Comer will travel a distance of s= 18.75\ m.

The distance traveled by an object can be modeled by the equation d = ut + 0.5at2 where d = distance, u = initial velocity, t =
Taya2010 [7]
We are given with the expression d = ut + 0.5 at^2 and is asked to express the equation in terms of a. First, we transpose ut to the left side, then we multiply to the equation and divide lastly the resulting equation by t^2. The final expression becomes a = 2(d-ut)/t^2.

What is the deceleration of the rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.1 s from a speed of 1000 km/h? (such deceleration caused on
Wewaii [24]

The deceleration of the rocket sled if it comes to rest in 1.1 s from a speed of 1000 km/h is  252.52\ m/s^2.

The acceleration in opposite direction is known as the deceleration. Basically the deceleration is negative value of the acceleration since the negative sign depicts its opposite in direction.

The given data:

time, t = 1.1 s

initial speed, u = 1000 km/h = \frac{2500}{9}\ m/s

final speed, v = 0 m/s

So we will be using the equation of motion, that is,

v = u + at

\therefore 0=\frac{2500}{9} + a(1.1)

\Rightarrow a=-\frac{2500}{9(1.1)}

\therefore a = - 252.52 \ m/s^2

Hence , the deceleration of the rocket is  252.52\ m/s^2.
