Answer:
The acceleration is 1 cm/s^2.
Explanation:
The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
Here, initial velocity, u = 3/1 = 3 cm/s
final velocity, v = 4/1 = 4 cm/s
time, t = 1 s
Let the acceleration is a.
Use first equation of motion
v = u + at
4 = 3 + 1 x a
a = 1 cm/s^2
Answer:
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Mass of Puck 1, m = 1 kg
Mass of Puck 2, M = 1 kg
Initial velocity of Puck 1, u = 20 m/s
Initial velocity of Puck 2, U = 0 m/s
Final velocity of Puck 1, v = 5 m/s
Since we are told that momentum is conserved, we apply the principle of conservation of momentum:
Total initial momentum of the system = Total final momentum of the system
mu + MU = mv + MV
(1 * 20) + (1 * 0) = (1 * 5) + (1 * V)
20 = 5 + V
V = 20 - 5 = 15 m/s
Puck 2 moves with a velocity of 15 m/s
Answer: 3.63 km/s
Explanation:
The escape velocity equation for a craft launched from the Earth surface is:
Where:
is the escape velocity
is the Universal Gravitational constant
is the mass of the Earth
is the Earth's radius
However, in this situation the craft would be launched at a height 
over the Eart's surface with a space elevator. Hence, we have to add this height to the equation:
Finally:
The scientist is likely to be studying kinematics.
Kinematics is the branch of science, specifically physics, which is concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces that induce this motion. An example of kinematics is studying the change in velocity of an object over time or the distance covered by an object in a specified amount of time.
