We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.
Answer:
2.0 m/s/s
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.
Mathematically, it is given by:
where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v
Acceleration is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.
For the runner in this problem, we have:
u = 0 is the initial velocity (he starts from rest)
v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity
t = 4.0 s is the time taken
Substituting, we find
Satellites travel at 18,000 miles per hour. ...
A satellite gets better fuel economy than a Prius.
If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building.
There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.
