Answer:

v = 2.5 mi/h

Explanation:

The velocity of an object is defined as the time rate of change of its position. In other words the velocity of an object is just a ration of displacement covered by the object to the time taken by the object, to cover that distance. So, in this case we will use the same formula or equation to calculate the velocity of the man. The formula is as follows:

v = s/t

where,

v = velocity of the man = ?

s = distance of the trail = 5 miles

t = time required to complete the trail = 2 h

Therefore,

v = 5 miles/ 2 h

Is it possible for a car to be accelerating to the west while it is driving to the east?

Ber [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

If the acceleration has an opposite direction to the velocity of the car, this means that it is opposed to is motion. Therefore, it is called deceleration, since the car's velocity will decrease until it stops and then will start it moving towards the west.

What is a fixed volume

nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!

The planet Saturn has a mass that is 95 times Earth's mass and a radius that is 9.4 times Earth's radius. What is the accelerati

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

10.55111 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Saturn = $95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$

r = Radius of Saturn = $9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6\ m$

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=10.55111\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 10.55111 m/s²
