Answer:

Comet's orbit.

Explanation:

Edmond Halley and Alexis Clairaut were one of those Newtonian who helped to validate the results of Isaac Newton.

They correctly explained Comet' motion and how planets gravitational force affect them.

But using Newton's idea of Mathematics and Gravity, they have made two important discoveries:

1. Why celestial bodies have different colors.

2. They were able to find the Comet's orbit and prediction(year) of its return.

I was driving along at 20 m/s , trying to change a CD and not watching where I was going. When I looked up, I found myself 46 m

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

6.46393559312 m/s²

Explanation:

Time taken to cover 56 m

$t=\dfrac{56}{29}\ s$

Distance covered in 0.42 seconds

$0.42\times 20=8.4\ m$

From equation of linear motion

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$8.4+20(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)+\dfrac{1}{2}a(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)^2=46\\\Rightarrow a=(46-8.4-20(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42))\times\dfrac{2}{(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=6.46393559312\ m/s^2$

The minimum acceleration is 6.46393559312 m/s²

How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles?

devlian [24]

Answer:

As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases.

Explanation:

When the temperature of the substance increases, the velocity increases which makes the movement of the particles to speed up. This causes the particles to increase. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases.

A race car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to 69 mph in 4.5 s.

Marizza181 [45]

For this question we should apply
a = v^2 - u^2 by t
a = 69 - 0 by 4.5
a = 69 by 4.5
a = 15.33
a = 6.85 m/s^2

If the answer in option is near to answer then , you can mark it as correct.
.:. The acceleration is 6.9 m/s^2
