A couple of astronauts agree to rendezvous in space after hours. Their plan is to let gravity bring them together. She has a mas

s of 64.0kg and he a mass of 76.0kg , and they start from rest 23.0m apart. Find his initial acceleration. Find her initial acceleration. If the astronauts' acceleration remained constant, how many days would they have to wait before reaching each other? (Careful! They both have acceleration toward each other.) Would their acceleration, in fact, remain constant?

Let's use Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, which is expressed as<span>F=G<span><span><span>(m1</span><span>m2)/</span></span><span>r2</span></span></span>We can find the force of attraction between them. Then, to find the acceleration from<span>F=<span>m1</span><span>a1</span>  <span>and</span>  F=<span>m2</span><span>a2</span></span>I'll take it you know the equations of motion for constant acceleration. <span>y=<span>1/2</span>a<span>t^2</span></span> Obviously, as they accelerate towards each other, the radius between them decreases, meaning the force of gravitation between them increases, meaning they accelerate faster.

Classify each sequence as arithmetic, geometric or neither
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Geometric sequence = ⁵/9, ⁵/3, 5, 15, 45. . .

Arithmetic sequence = 16, 11, 6, 1, -4 . . .

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers, in which every number in the sequence after the first term is multiplied by a common ratio, which gives us the next term. The common ratio is the ratio of a term to the term before it.

On the other hand, an arithmetic sequence is a sequence of number have a common difference between each consecutive terms. This common difference is gotten by subtracting a term from the term before it.

Now let's examine each sequence given:

==>16, 11, 6, 1, -4 . . .

11 - 16 = -5

6 - 11 = -5

1 - 6 = -5

-4 - 1 = -5

This is an arithmetic sequence. The commons difference "-5" is the same

==>⁵/9, ⁵/3, 5, 15, 45. . .

⁵/3 ÷ ⁵/9 = ⁵/3 × ⁹/5 = ⁹/3 = 3

5 ÷ ⁵/3 = ⁵ × ⅗ = 3

15 ÷ 5 = 3

45 ÷ 15 = 3

The common ratio "3" is the same. This is a geometric sequence.

I need help with this if you get it right I will mark you brainlest
laiz [17]
The correct answer is A!

A. 1/2 is equal to .5 so multiply 2,000 by .5 and you’ll get $1000. She spends $900 on rent. Since $900 is less than $1000 she is not spending more than half of her income on rent. There for this statement is False

B. If you do 2,000 multipled by .15 (which equals 15%) then you’ll get $300 and that’s how much she spends on savings. So this statement is true.

C. 1/4 = .25 so if you do 2,000 multiplied by .25 you’ll end up with $500. The total cost of utilities, cable and groceries ( 120 + 80 + 320 ) = $520 and since $500 is less than $520 then she is spending more than 1/4 of her income on those expenses. Which makes this statement true.

D. 14% is = .14 so if you do 2,000 multiplied by .14 you’ll get $280. The total of cell phone and other expenses ( 100 + 180 ) = $280 so that is true.

Solve.<br> 4x2 + 6 = 40<br> Round to the nearest hundredth.<br> Enter your answers in the boxes.
aleksklad [387]

Do 4x^2 = 16x

16x+6 = 40

     -6    -6

16x = 34

/16    /16

x=2.125

Rounded to the nearest hundredth is, 2.13

Best explained and correct answer gets brainliest!
mezya [45]
The answer is B because C and D are not true. Angle-Angle theorem does not prove congruency. Hypotenuse-Leg does because having a hypotenuse means that the triangle is a right angle triangle, which means that 2 sides and an angle are congruent in the triangles. By Side-Side-Angle Theorem, the triangles are congruent.
