Answer:

increase by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

If the separation distance between two objects is doubled (increased by a factor of 2), then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 4 (2 raised to the second power).

A car travelling 10m/s increases its speed to 20m/s over a time of 4s. What is the acceleration of the car? A car is traveling a
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.

Acceleration = change in velocity/Time

Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity/Time

Given initial velocity = 10m/s

Final velocity = 20m/s

Time taken = 4s

Acceleration = 20-10/4

Acceleration = 10/4

Acceleration =2.5m/s²

For the second part of the question:

Given parameters

initial velocity = 15m/s

acceleration = -3m/s²

time = 4seconds

a = v-u/t

-3 = v-15/4

cross multiply

-12 = v-15

add 15 from both sides

-12+15 = v-15+15

3 = v

<em>Hence the final velocity of the car is 3m/s</em>

Sophie [7]

Answer:

3.32 rad/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is:

a = v² / r

Angular velocity is:

ω = v / r

v = ωr

Substituting:

a = (ωr)² / r

a = ω² r

Given that a = 20 g and r = 17.8 m:

20 (9.8 m/s²) = ω² (17.8 m)

ω = 3.32 rad/s

artcher [175]
1500m = 1 sec

9000m/1500 = 6

So, it would take 6 sec to go 9000m
