How many moons does Venus have?

2 answers:

Hi,

Venus has no moons. Mercury and Venus are the only two planets that don't have a natural moon orbiting around them.

The answer is no moons at all. That's right, Venus (and the planet Mercury) are the only two planets that don't havea single natural moon orbiting them. Figuring out why is one question keeping astronomers busy as they study the Solar System.

A car goes from rest to a velocity of 108 km/h north in 10s what is the car's acceleration in m/s2

fomenos

initial velocity of the car given as

$v_i = 0$

final velocity is given as

$v_f = 108 km/h$

as we know that

$1 km/h = 0.277 m/s$

now we can convert final speed into m/s

$v_f = 108 * 0.277 = 30 m/s$

now acceleration is rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{30 - 0}{10}$

$a = 3 m/s^2$

so the acceleration of the car is 3 m/s^2

An object that is dropped straight down from a height of 100 m has a vertical change in position that is less than that of an id

sergey [27]

Objects dropped straight or thrown horizontally from the same height
change their vertical velocity at the same rate, and fall through equal
vertical distances in equal time intervals.

The statement is false.

A paleontologist estimates that when a particular rock formed, it contained 12 mg of the radioactive isotope potassium-40, which

leva [86]

Answer:

$t = 2.52 billion \:years$

Explanation:

As we know by radioactivity law

$N = N_o e^{-\lambda t}$

so here we will have

$N = 3 mg$

$N_o = 12 mg$

now we will have

$3 = 12 e^{-\lambda t}$

$\lambda t = ln 4$

now we also know that

$\lambda = \frac{ln2}{1.26 \times 10^6 yrs}$

$t = 1.26\times 10^6\times \frac{ln4}{ln2}$

$t = 2.52 billion \:years$

A 125kg bumper car going 12m/s hits a 235kg bumper car going -13m/s.if the first car bounces back at -12.5m/s what is the veloci

vovikov84 [41]

According to the law of conservation of momentum:

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'$

m1 = mass of first object
m2 = mass of second object
v1 = Velocity of the first object before the collision
v2 = Velocity of the second object before the collision
v'1 = Velocity of the first object after the collision
v'2 = Velocity of the second object after the collision

Now how do you solve for the velocity of the second car after the collision? First thing you do is get your given and fill in what you know in the equation and solve for what you do not know.

m1 = 125 kg v1 = 12m/s v'1 = -12.5m/s
m2 = 235kg v2 = -13m/s v'2 = ?

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'$
$(125kg)(12m/s)+(235kg)(-13m/s)=(125kg)(-12.5m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}'$
$1,500kg.m/s+(-3055kg.m/s)=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')$
$-1,555kg.m/s=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')$

Transpose everything on the side of the unknown to isolate the unknown. Do not forget to do the opposite operation.

$-1,555kg.m/s + 1562.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')$
$7.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')$
$(7.5kg.m/s)/(235kg)=(v_{2}')$
$0.03m/s=(v_{2}')$

The velocity of the 2nd car after the collision is 0.03m/s.

Angular velocity in the z direction of a flywheel is w(t)=A + Bt2 The numerical values of the constants are A=2.75 and B=1.50. W

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

α(0) = 0 rad/s²

α(5) = 15 rad/s²

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the flywheel is given as follows:

w(t) = A + B t²

where, A and B are constants.

Now, for the angular acceleration, we must take derivative of angular velocity with respect to time:

Angular Acceleration = α (t) = dw/dt

α(t) = (d/dt)(A + B t²)

α(t) = 2 B t

where,

B = 1.5

AT t = 0 s

α(0) = 2(1.5)(0)

α(0) = 0 rad/s²

AT t = 5 s

α(5) = 2(1.5)(5)

α(5) = 15 rad/s²
