Given parameters:

Acceleration of the car = 1.6m/s

Initial speed  = 80km/hr

Final speed  = 110km/hr

Solution:

Time taken to achieve this speed = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with the time taken.

  Mathematically;

     a  = \frac{V - U}{T}

where a is the acceleration

           V is the final velocity

           U is the initial velocity

           T is the time taken

Now make the unknown time the subject of the expression;

      aT  = V - U

         T = \frac{V - U}{a}  

Convert the given acceleration to km/hr;

       1.6m/s  = 1.6 x \frac{m}{s}  x \frac{1km}{1000m} x \frac{3600s}{1hr} = 5.76km/hr

Input the parameters and solve;

       T = \frac{110 - 80}{5.76}  = 5.2hrs

The time taken is 5.2hrs

Describe the interactions with the Sun, Earth and Moon system that result in Tides.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:The sun, earth, and moon are held together by gravity, and they interact in lots of ways.

  • The tides are another interaction in the sun-earth-moon system. The tides happen because the moon and sun pull on the oceans, causing them to rise and fall each day. The moon has a bigger effect than the sun because it is closer.

Answer:

∆U = 2.296×10^10Joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object under the influence of gravity due to its virtue of position.

Potential energy U = Fr where;

F is the force of attraction between the masses of the moon and the rocket.

r is the radius or height of the object.

From Newton's law of universal gravitation, F = GMm/r²

Potential energy U = (-GMm/r²)×r

Potential energy U = -GMm/r

The force is negative because the objects act upward.

M is the mass of the rocket

m is the mass of the moon

Gravitational potential energy possessed by the rocket

U1 = -GMm/r1

r1 is the altitude covered by the rocket

Gravitational potential energy possessed by the Moon

U2 = -GMm/(r2+r1)

r2 is the radius of the moon

Change in gravitational potential energy ∆U = U2-U1

∆U = -GMm/(r2+r1)-(-GMm/r1)

∆U = -GMm/(r2+r1) + GMm/r1

∆U = -GMm{1/(r2+r1)-1/r1}

Given

G = 6.67×10^-11m³/kgs²

M = 1130kg

m = 7.36×10²²kg

r1 = 215km = 215,000m

r2 = 1740km = 1,740,000m

∆U = -6.67×10^-11× 7.36×10²² × 1130{1/(215,000+1,740,000)-1/215000}

∆U= -55.47×10¹⁴{1/1955000-1/215000}

∆U = -55.47×10¹⁴{5.12×10^-7 - 4.65×10^-6}

∆U = -284×10^7 + 257.94×10^8

∆U = 22,954,000,000Joules

∆U = 2.296×10^10Joules

How fast should a rocket ship move for its mass to be dilated to 167% of its rest<br>mass?​
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The two forces acting on rockets at the moment of launch are the thrust upwards and the weight downwards. Weight is the force due to gravity and is calculated (at the Earth’s surface) by multiplying the mass (kilograms) by 9.8.The resultant force on each rocket is calculated using the equation resultant force = thrust – weight.

Hopefully, this answer helps you! :)
