Answer:
a.) a = 0 ms⁻²
b.) a = 9.58 ms⁻²
c.) a = 7.67 ms⁻²
Explanation:
a.)
Acceleration (a) is defined as the time rate of change of velocity
Given data
Final velocity = v₂ = 0 m/s
Initial velocity = v ₁ = 0 m/s
As the space shuttle remain at rest for the first 2 minutes i.e there is no change in velocity so,
a = 0 ms⁻²
b.)
Given data
As the space shuttle start from rest, So initial velocity is zero
Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 ms⁻¹
Final velocity = v₂ = 4600 ms⁻¹
Time = t = 8 min = 480 s
By the definition of Acceleration (a)

a = 9.58 ms⁻²
c.)
Given data
As the space shuttle is at rest for first 2 min then start moving, So initial velocity is zero
Initial velocity = v₁ = 0 ms⁻¹
Final velocity = v₂ = 4600 ms⁻¹
Time = t = 10 min = 600 s
By the definition of Acceleration (a)

a = 7.67 ms⁻²
Hi!
The energy of the block is 4 m/s
To calculate this, you need to use the equation for
kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because
there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

Have a nice day!
the enclosed may help. earth rotes and you and i are fixed to it. air flows it's own path ...
Both the object and earth pulls each other towards itself but since the mass and pulling force of objects are very small the pulling force of objects are negligible.
