Gravity causes a falling object to fall 9.8 m/s faster every second it falls.

Kenny's book started out with no speed when it was dropped. 
1.5 sec later, it was falling at (9.8 x 1.5) = 14.7 m/s .

During the fall, its average speed was  1/2(0 + 14.7) = 7.35 m/s .

Distance it covered = (average speed) x (time) =

                                             (7.35 m/s) x (1.5 sec) = 11.025 m

What is the magnitude of the acceleration vector which causes a particle to move from velocity −5i−2j m/s to −6i+ 7j m/s in 8 se
shusha [124]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{1}{8}(-i+9j)\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial velocity of a particle in vector form, u = (-5i - 2j) m/s

Final velocity of particle in vector form, v = (-6i + 7j) m/s

Time taken, t = 8 seconds

We need to find the magnitude of acceleration vector. The changing of velocity w.r.t time is called acceleration of a particle. It is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{(-6i+7j)\ m/s-(-5i-2j)\ m/s}{8\ s}    

a=\dfrac{(-i+9j)}{8\ s}\ m/s^2    

or

a=\dfrac{1}{8}(-i+9j)\ m/s^2

Hence, the value of acceleration vector is solved.

Why does the number of dwarf planets recognized by astronomers in the solar system sometimes increase?
gregori [183]
Because sometimes it happens that they discover a dwarf planet
that nobody ever knew about before.  When that happens, they
ADD the new one to the list of known dwarf planets, and then the
total number of dwarf planets on the list increases by 1 .

satellite is placed in an elongated elliptical (not circular) orbit around the Earth. At the point in its orbitwhere it is close
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a) v2=4147.72 m/s

b) stotal=5.53x10^6 m

Explanation:

a) the length from the center of the earth is equal to:

L1=1x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=4.18x10^6 m

the velocity is 5.14 km/s=5.14x10^3 m/s

the farthest distance is equal to:

L2=2x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=5.18x10^6 m

As the angular momentum is conserved, we have to:

I1=I2

m*L1*v1=m*L2*V2, where m is the mass of satelite

clearing v2:

v2=(L1*V1)/L2=(4.18x10^6*5.14x10^3)/5.18x10^6=4147.72 m/s

b) Using the Newton 3rd law:

vf^2=vi^2+2as

where:

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

vf=0

vi=5.14 km/s

s=?

Clearing s:

s=(vf^2-vi^2)/(2g)=((0-(5.14x10^3)^2)/(2*9.8)=1.35x10^6 m

the total distance is equal to:

stotal=s+L1=1.35x10^6+4.18x10^6=5.53x10^6 m
