Answer: Acceleration = - 7.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration (a) is the rate of change in velocity. I.e

Acceleration = (V - U)/t

U = 35 m/s

V = 20 m/a

t = 2 s

Acceleration = ( 20 - 35 )/2

Acceleration = - 15/2

Acceleration = - 7.5 m/s^2

In this case, the car is decelerating at 7.5 m/s^2

Why does it take mars over 500 days to orbit the sun?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Mar's orbital path is more than that of Earth, thus it takes more number of days to orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

Mars takes over 500 days to orbit all the way around the sun than Earth because its distance from the sun (228 million kilometers) is greater than that of Earth (150 million kilometers) which takes it 365 days.

Planets that orbit closer to the sun take shorter time to orbit around the sun because the cover a shorter orbital distance and orbit faster than those planets further from the sun.

<u>For example</u>

Using Earth's distance from the sun, 150 million kilometers and the number of days taken to orbits the sun ,365 days and the distance Mars is from the Earth, 228 million kilometers, you can approximate the time Mar takes to orbit the sun as:

Earth 150 million kilometers  = 365 days

Mars  228 million kilometers= ?

Cross product ; (228 *365) /150 =555 -----(a value closer to that in the question)

An unbalanced force of 20N acts on a 4.0kg mass what is it's acceleration​
tankabanditka [31]

Hi there!

According to Newton's second law:

∑F = m · a, where:

∑F = net force (N = kgm/s²)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

Rearrange to solve for acceleration:

F/m = a

20N / 4.0kg = 5 m/s²
