Answer:
The coefficient of static friction between the ground and the soles of a runner’s shoes is 0.98. What is the maximum speed in which the runner can accelerate without slipping if they have a mass of 73 kg?
Explanation:
Answer:
As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is <u>0 m/s²</u>.
There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.
- <u>0 m/s²</u> is the right answer.
Answer:
The combination of Earth's elliptical orbit and the tilt of its axis results in the Sun taking different paths across the sky at slightly different speeds each day. This gives us different sunrise and sunset times each day.
Explanation:
Answer:
The moon also falls towards the Earth, but having a tangential speed, the acceleration it has is used in the change of direction of its speed,
Explanation:
Newton explained that all objects attract each other, as the Earth is much greater than the apple, it is this that falls towards the Earth.
The moon also falls towards the Earth, but having a tangential speed, the acceleration it has is used in the change of direction of its speed, in general this acceleration is called centripetal
This principle is used in all circular motion devices, for example the merry-go-round in parks, the radius of the circle is proportional to the speed of the turn and therefore to the centripetal acceleration of the device.
Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of radius R = GM/R^2 = 9.8 m/s^2
weight at surface of earth = mg = 78 x 9.8 = 764.4 N
acceleration due to gravity at 6R = GM/(6R)^2
= GM/R^2 /36
=9.8/36 = 0.27 m/s^2
weight on spacecraft = 78 x 0.27 = 21.2 N
