Yes, acceleration only tells you how velocity is changing. It doesn't say anything about what velocity is at any given time.

For example, if you set your car to cruise control on the highway going 80 mph. That is a constant high velocity, yet the car has 0 acceleration.

The opposite is also true. After a red light turns green, you put foot on the gas to accelerate. However, your velocity is initially low even though it has high acceleration.

Of course !

A passenger jet, cruising at 37,000 feet on its way to California,
keeping a constant airspeed and flying in a straight line, can have
a velocity of 500 miles per hour west, but its acceleration is zero !

Optical astronomers need a clear, dark sky to collect good data. Explain why radio astronomers have no problem observing in the
gregori [183]

Answer:

In the clarification portion elsewhere here, the definition of the concern is mentioned.

Explanation:

So like optical telescopes capture light waves, introduce it to concentrate, enhance it, as well as make it usable through different instruments via study, so radio telescopes accumulate weak signal light waves, introduce that one to focus, enhance it, as well as make this information available during research. To research naturally produced radio illumination from stars, galaxies, dark matter, as well as other natural phenomena, we utilize telescopes.

Optical telescopes detect space-borne visible light. There are some drawbacks of optical telescopes mostly on the surface:

  • Mostly at night would they have been seen.
  • Unless the weather gets cloudy, bad, or gloomy, they shouldn't be seen.

Although radio telescopes monitor space-coming radio waves. Those other telescopes, when they are already typically very massive as well as costly, have such an improvement surrounded by optical telescopes. They should be included in poor weather and, when they travel through the surrounding air, the radio waves aren't obscured by clouds. Throughout the afternoon and also some at night, radio telescopes are sometimes used.

In three sentences, please describe SIMPLE HARMONIC motion, and give two examples. Thank you! :-)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
A system that repeats to and from its mean or rest point. that executes harmonic motion. a few examples I've heard of are since the springtime a mass-spring system,a swing, simple pendulum, one more example is a steel ball rolling in a curved is this what you need or do you need three more sentences dish. to get S.H.M a body just displaced away from the resting position and of course then is released. the human body oscillates due to the reinforce that pulls it back do you need anything else answered on this and I'll answer it

The law of superposition helps scientists determine the relative age of a layer of sedimentary rock. the law of superposition is <span>a basic </span>law<span> of geochronology, stating that in any undisturbed sequence of rocks deposited in layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest on bottom, each layer being younger than the one beneath it and older than the one above it</span> .

Newton's Law of Gravitation states that two bodies with masses m1 and m2 attract each other with a force F, where r is the dista
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

W = - 5.01 10¹⁰ J

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

      W = ∫ F.dr

Where the blacks indicate vectors, in the case the force is radial and the distance is also radial, whereby the scalar producer is reduced to an ordinary product

      W = ∫ F dr

      W = G m₁m₂ ∫ 1 /r² dr

     W = G m₁ m₂2(-1 / r)

We evaluate between the lower limits r = Re and upper r = ∞

     W = G m₁m₂ (-1 / Re + 1 / ∞)

     W = - G m₁ m₂ / Re

Let's calculate

    W = - 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 800 5.98 10²⁴ / 6.37 10⁶

    W = - 5.01 10¹⁰ J
