Whats the formula for acceleration?

Physics
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Rearrange the equation F = ma to solve for acceleration.

You can change this formula around to solve for acceleration by dividing both sides by the mass, so: a = F/m. To find the acceleration, simply divide the force by the mass of the object being accelerated.

a meteor is falling towards the earth. If the mass and radius of the earth are 6×10^24 kg and 6.4×10^6 m respectively. Find the
ELEN [110]

Answer:

3.6×10⁶ m

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force between two masses is:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the universal constant of gravitation (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²),

M is the mass of one object

m is the mass of the other object,

and r is the distance between the center of masses of the objects.

The force acting on the meteor is:

∑F = ma

GMm / r² = ma

GM / r² = a

Given M = 6×10²⁴ kg and a = 4 m/s²:

(6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) (6×10²⁴ kg) / r² = 4 m/s²

r = 10⁷ m

The distance from the meteor to the center of the Earth is 10⁷ m.  We want to know what the height of the meteor is (distance to the surface of the Earth).  So we need to subtract the Earth's radius.

h = 10⁷ m − 6.4×10⁶ m

h = 3.6×10⁶ m

A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. Its initial position
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

In point a:

Place of particles

X(t)=\int V_{x}(t)dt

       =\int 2t^{2}dt\\\\=\frac{2}{3}t^{3}+C

\to t=0\\\\ \to X(0)=2.3 \ m

\to X(0)=0+C\\\\ \to C=2.3\  m

\to X(t)=( \frac{2}{3})t^3 + 2.3\\\\ \to t=2.2\\\\\to X=( \frac{2}{3})\times 2.2^3 +2.3 \\\\

        = \frac{2}{3}\times 10.648 +2.3\\\\= \frac{21.296}{3}+2.3\\\\  = 7.09+2.3\\\\ =9.39\\\\ =9.4\ m

In point b:

when t=2.2 \ s

the Particle velocity  (V)=2 \times 2.22 =9.68\  \frac{m}{s}

In point c:

Calculating the Particle acceleration:

\to a=\frac{dV}{dt} =4\ t\\\\\to t=2.2 \ s\\\\\to a=4\times 2.2  =8.8 \ \frac{m}{s^2}

A 1502.7 kg car is traveling at 33.1 m/s when
Bond [772]

By definition of average acceleration,

<em>a</em> = (20 m/s - 33.1 m/s) / (4.7 s) ≈ -2.78 m/s²

Vertically, the car is in equilibrium, so the net force is equal to the friction force in the direction opposite the car's motion:

∑ <em>F</em> = (1502.7 kg) (-2.78 m/s²) ≈ -4188.38 N ≈ -4200 N

If you just want the magnitude, drop the negative sign.
