Answer:

Planet will crash on to the Sun if the tangential velocity becomes zero and Rocket should be fired  from Earth's orbit is at 30 m/s and in opposite direction to the Earth orbits the Sun

Explanation:

The orbital velocity of the Earth about the sun is 30 km/s. If we shoot a rocket with 30 km/s with respect to Earth in the opposite direction.  Then the two velocity vectors cancel. The resultant velocity would be zero with respect to the Sun. resulting velocity is called as tangential velocity.

Planet will crash on to the Sun if the tangential velocity becomes zero and Rocket should be fired  from Earth's orbit is at 30 m/s and in opposite direction to the Earth orbits the Sun

Can the velocity of a body revese the direction when acceleration is constant?
TEA [102]

Answer:

Yes, the velocity of the object can reverse direction when its acceleration is constant. For example consider that the velocity of any object at any time t is given as: ... At At t = 0 sec, the magnitude of velocity is 2m/s and is moving in the forward direction i.e.v (t) = -2.

An ideal spring is mounted horizontally, with its left end fixed. The force constant of the spring is 170 N/m. A glider of mass
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all we shall find the velocity at equilibrium point of mass 1.2 kg .

It will be ω A , where ω is angular frequency and A is amplitude .

ω = √ ( k / m )

= √ (170 / 1.2 )

= 11.90 rad /s

amplitude A = .045 m

velocity at middle point ( maximum velocity ) = 11.9 x .045 m /s

= .5355 m /s

At middle point , no force acts so we can apply law of conservation of momentum

m₁ v₁ = ( m₁ + m₂ ) v

1.2 x .5355 = ( 1.2 + .48 ) x v

v = .3825 m /s

= 38.25 cm /s

Let new amplitude be A₁ .

1/2 m v² = 1/2 k A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x v² = 170 x A₁²

( 1.2 + .48 ) x .3825² = 170 x A₁²

A₁ = .0379 m

New amplitude is .0379 m

malfutka [58]

Here Change in Kinetic Energy = Work Done by Friction

Therefore, substituting the given values to the equation, we get

0.5 * m * (vFinal^2 - vInitial^2) = µ m g * d

Therefore

0.5*( 5.90^2 - Vfinal^2 ) = 0.100*9.8*2.10

Therefore

vfinal = 5.54 m/sec

Can an object in motion ever change directions?
choli [55]

Answer:

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity.
