Answer:1.375metre per second square

Explanation: acceleration=(final velocity-initial velocity)÷time

acceleration=(8.6-4.2)÷3.2

Acceleration=4.4÷3.2

Acceleration=1.375 metre per second square

Assume the earth to be a nonrotating sphere with mass MEME and radius RERE. If an astronaut weights WW on the ground, what is hi

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The weight at a distance 2 RE from surface of earth is W/9

Explanation:

For the value of acceleration due to gravity (g), we have a formula, that is:

g = (G)(ME)/(RE)² ----- equation (1)

where,

G = Gravitational Constant

ME = Mass of Earth

RE = Radius of Earth

g = Acceleration due to gravity on surface of earth = 9.8 ms²

When the person goes 2RE, distance above earth's surface. Then the total distance from center of earth becomes: 2RE + RE = 3RE.

Therefore, equation (1) becomes:

gh = (G)(ME)/(3RE)²

where,

gh = acceleration due to gravity at height

gh = (G)(ME)/(RE)²9

using equation (1), we get:

gh = g/9

Now, he weight is given by formula:

W = mg ------- equation (2)

At height 2RE

Wh = (m)(gh)

where,

Wh = Weight at height = ?

m = mass of astronaut

Therefore, using vale of gh, we get:

Wh = mg/9

Using equation (2), we get:

Wh = W/9

a roller coaster begins at the top of a hill if it acelerates at the rate of 2 m/s2 and has a mass of 2000 kg what net force is

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4000 \ Newtons }}$

Explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

$F=m*a$

The mass of the roller coaster is 2000 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

$m= 2000 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$F= 2000 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 4000 \ kg*m/s^2$

1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 N
Therefore our answer of 4000 kg*m/s² is equal to 4000 Newtons

$F= 4000 \ N$

The net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 Newtons.

What is your acceleration while sitting in your chair. the latitude of corvallis is 44.4˚.?

marta [7]

You can start with the equations you know

a=v^2/r = (2pi*r/T)^2/r = 4pi^2r/T^2

Radius of earth (R) = 6378.1 km
Time in one day (T) = 86400 seconds
Latitude = 44.4 degrees

If you draw a circle and have the radius going out at a 44.4 degree angle above the center you can then find the r.

r=Rcos(44.4)
r=6378.1cos(44.4)
r= 4556.978198 km or 4556978 m

Now you can plug this value into the acceleration equation from above...

a= 1.8*10^8/7.47*10^9
a= .0241 m/s^2
