Answer:
When it's closest to the sun.
Explanation:
The force of gravity acting on a planet is equal to its mass times its centripetal acceleration.
Fg = m v^2 / r
The force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation as:
Fg = mMG / r^2
Therefore:
mMG / r^2 = m v^2 / r
MG / r = v^2
v increases as r decreases. So the planet is moving fastest when it's closest to the sun, also known as the <em>perihelion</em>.
Answer:
The primary effects of earthquakes are ground shaking, ground rupture, landslides, tsunamis, and liquefaction. Fires are probably the single most important secondary effect of earthquakes.
Explanation:
Answer:
10259.6 m
Explanation:
We are given that
Radius of small wheel,r=0.17 m
Radius of large wheel,r'=0.92 m
Initial velocity,u=0
Time,t=2.7 minutes=162 s
1 min=60 s
Velocity,v=10m/s
Time,t'=13.7 minutes=822 s
Time,t''=4.1 minutes=246 s
Substitute the values
Substitute the values
Total distance traveled by rider=s+s'+s''=809.6+8220+1230=10259.6 m
Answer: C
Explanation:
Find the acceleration using this kinematic equation:
Now use this kinematic equation to find the displacement:
No, the speed at which an object falls is not equal to the acceleration at which it falls.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Speed is defined as how fast an object can cover a specific distance and in what time it covers. So it is measured as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, speed is a scalar quantity and acceleration is a vector quantity. So most of the times, the direction will play an important role in the varying values of speed and acceleration. Also, acceleration of an object will depend upon the force and mass of the object. Thus, speed and acceleration will not attain same value always.
