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.

A line passes throughout (-3,-2) and is perpendicular to 3x-2y=7. What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? A. Y
marissa [1.9K]
3x - 2y = 7
-2y = -3x + 7
y = 3/2x - 7/2....slope of this line is 3/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -2/3 (see how I flipped the slope and changed the sign)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2/3
(-3,-2).....x = -3 and y = -2
now we sub and find b, the y int
-2 = -2/3(-3) = b
-2 = 2 + b
-2 - 2 = b
-4 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -2/3x - 4 <==

Ms. Carter has 30 boxes of books. Half of the boxes have 25 books and the other half have 50 books. How many books does she have
Nikitich [7]
15 x 25 = 375
15 x 50 = 750

375 + 750 = 1,125

She has 1,125 books.

Find X and QT. The shape is a Rhombus
kompoz [17]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of a rhombus are equal.

⇒ QT = TS

⇒ x² - 4x - 10 = 6x + 14

⇒ x² - 10x - 24 = 0

⇒ x² + 2x - 12x - 24 = 0

⇒ x (x + 2) - 12 (x + 2) = 0

⇒ (x + 2)(x - 12) = 0

⇒ x = -2 or x = 12

Substitute both values and see which gives a positive value for QT :

<u>When x = -2</u> :

  • QT = (-2)² - 4(-2) - 10
  • QT = 4 + 8 - 10
  • QT = 2

<u>When x = 12</u> :

  • QT = (12)² - 4(12) - 10
  • QT = 144 - 48 - 10
  • QT = 86

The 2 possible answers are :

  • x = -2, QT = 2
  • x = 12, QT = 86
