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

a toy dart gun generates a dart with .140kg.m/s momentum and a velocity of 4m/s. what is the mass of the dart in grams?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: m = 0.035kg = 35g

Explanation: Momentum p=0.140kgm/s

Velocity v=4m/s

Mass m=?

Formula-

Momentum depends on the mass of the object in motion and its velocity.

The equation for momentum is

p = mv

m = p/v

m = 0.140/4

m = 0.035kg

m = 35g

Hence, in the toy dart gun mass of the dart is 0.035kg.

PHYSICS HELP PLEASE!! MUST SHOW MATH WORK!!
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<u>Answer:</u>

1) Distance traveled by bird = 403 meter

2)Average speed = 1.66 km /hour

3) Zcceleration = 2 m/s^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

1)  Distance traveled = Speed * Time taken = 31 * 13 = 403 meter.

2)  Average speed = Total distance covered / Time taken for that distance to cover.

    Total distance covered = 2+0.5+2.5 = 5 km

    Time taken = 3 hours

     Average speed = 5/3 = 1.66 km /hour

3)    Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so acceleration a = change in velocity/time.

  Change in velocity = 14 - 6 = 8 m/s

   Time = 4 seconds

   So acceleration = 8 / 4 = 2 m/s^2

Why do astronomers use spectroscopes to analyze light from distant objects?
RoseWind [281]
Spectroscopy — the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of — could be the single-most powerful tool astronomers use, says Professor Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory. ... "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source.

A net force of 60 N north acts on an object with a mass of 30 kg. Use Newton's second law of
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma. For us, this looks like

60 = 30a and

a = 2 m/s/s

If the force goes up to, say, 90, then

90 = 30a and

a = 3...if the force goes up, the acceleration also goes up.

If the mass goes up to say, 60, and the force stays the same, then

60 = 60a and

a = 1...if the mass goes up, the acceleration goes down.
