Acceleration can be defined as the change of speed in an instant of time, that is
Here,
Final velocity
Initial velocity
Change in time
From this expression we will calculate the requested values replacing the variables in each of the given terms
PART A) The values under this condition are:
Replacing,
PART B ) The values under this condition are:
Replacing,
Therefore the acceleration in the second time interval is
PART C) The values under this condition are:
Replacing,
Answer:
-1.43 m/s relative to the shore
Explanation:
Total momentum must be conserved before and after the run. Since they were both stationary before, their total speed, and momentum, is 0, so is the total momentum after the run off:
where are the mass of the swimmer and raft, respectively. are the velocities of the swimmer and the raft after the run, respectively. We can solve for
So the recoil velocity that the raft would have is -1.43 m/s after the swimmer runs off, relative to the shore
Answer:
it takes 365 days to revolve around the star(sun)
