Acceleration is just how fast velocity is changing in a certain time. Simply subtract the final velocity from initial velocity, then take that number and divide that by the change in time. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's the same formula you use to find the slope of a line. If you've done calculus, it's finding the secant line, which means you've found the average acceleration using the (change in v)/(change in t). If you need the instantaneous acceleration, you need to take the derivative of your function at a certain time(also calculus.) ignore the last two sentences if you haven't taken calc1

A newly discovered planet has a mean radius of 7380 km. A vehicle on the planet\'s surface is moving in the same direction as th
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

292796435 seconds ≈ 300 million seconds

Explanation:

First of all, the speed of the car is 121km/h = 33.6111 m/s

The radius of the planet is given to be 7380 km = 7380000 m

From the relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity i.e., v=rw, the angular velocity of the car will be w=v/r = 33.6111/7380000 = 0.000000455 rad/s = 4.55 x 10⁻⁶ rad/sec

If the angular velocity of the vehicle about the planet's center is 9.78 times as large as the angular velocity of the planet then we have

w(vehicle) = 9.78 x w(planet)

w(planet) = w(vehicle)/9.78 = 4.55 x 10⁻⁶ / 9.78 = 4.66 x 10⁻⁷ rad/sec

To find the period of the planet's rotation; we use the equation

w(planet) = 2π÷T

Where w(planet) is the angular velocity of the planet and T is the period

From the equation T = 2π÷w = 2×(22/7) ÷  4.66 x 10⁻⁷ = 292796435 seconds

Therefore the period of the planet's motion is 292796435 seconds which is approximately 300, 000, 000 (300 million) seconds

Lostsunrise [7]
Relatively hot objects emit visible light.
Some examples: 
==> the wire coils in the toaster; 
==> the spoon that you stuck in the flame on the stove;
==> the fine wire in the lightbulb when current goes through it.

VERY radioactive objects also do that.  But if you're actually
standing there watching an object that's THAT radioactive,
then you're in big trouble.

trasher [3.6K]

During a race, a sprinter accelerated 1.8 m/s 2 in 2.5 seconds. The sprint increase with this amount of acceleration by 4.5 m/s.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration a = velocity v / time t

1.8 = v/2.5

v = 4.5 m/s

The sprint increase with this amount of acceleration by 4.5 m/s.

Speed<br><br> Is speed a vector? Why or why not?
Murrr4er [49]

No, speed is not a vector. it is scalar.

because it doesn't need direction but need magnitude.
