Over a time interval of 1.99 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +20.7 km/

s to -22.0 km/s. Find (a) the total change in the planet's velocity (in m/s) and (b) its average acceleration (in m/s2) during this interval. Include the correct algebraic sign with your answers to convey the directions of the velocity and the acceleration.

Answer:

(a) - 42700 m/s

(b) - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial velocity of star, u = 20.7 km/s

Final velocity of star, v = - 22 km/s

time, t = 1.99 years

Convert velocities into m/s and time into second

So, u = 20700 m / s

v = - 22000 m/s

t = 1.99 x 365.25 x 24 x 3600 = 62799624 second

(a) Change in planet's velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

  = - 22000 - 20700 = - 42700 m/s

(b) Accelerate is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

                     = ( - 42700 ) / (62799624) = - 6.8 x 10^-4 m/s^2

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question can be better understood when discussed using the Newton's first law of motion which states that an object would continue to move with a uniform speed (in a straight line) unless acted upon by an external force. What happens here (in the question) is that the bike rider would have continued moving at a constant speed (to the right) if not for the opposing force of the wind that acted against her (to the left). <u>This wind/force would cause her speed to reduce or slow down (as posited by the law)</u>.

An airplane flies 1,592 miles east from phoenix, Arizona, to Atlanta, Georgia, in 3.68 hours. What is the average velocity of th
KiRa [710]

Answer:

433 mph

Explanation:

We know that

Velocity =\frac{Distance}{Time }...Eq(1)

Here,

Distance =1,592 miles

Time=3.68 hours

Putting the value of distance and Time in the Eq(1)  We get

Velocity =\frac{1592\ miles}{3.68\ hours}

Velocity = 432.608\  mph\\Velocity = 433 mph

therefore Average velocity is 433 mph

A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static
faust18 [17]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)
