Which of the following is true about a planet orbiting a star in uniform circular

The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the  circle is the following is true about a planet orbiting a star in uniform circular  motion.

A. The velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the  circle.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Motion of the planet around the star is mentioned to be uniform and around a circular path. Objects in uniform circular motion motion has constant angular speed but the velocity of the object will not remain constant. Since the planet is in circular motion the direction of velocity vector at a particular point is tangential to the circular path at that particular point.

Thus at every point, the direction of velocity vector changes and this means the velocity is never constant. The objects in uniform circular motion has centripetal acceleration which means that velocity vector of the planet points toward the center of the  circle.

What is the squirrels escape velocity in mph if the squirrel accelerates at a constant 1.5 m/s squared from rest for 2.5s
Zina [86]

Answer:

3.75 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Time (t) = 2.5 s

Final velocity (v) =?

a = (v – u) / t

1.5 = (v – 0) / 2.5

1.5 = v / 2.5

Cross multiply

v = 1.5 × 2.5

v = 3.75 m/s

Hence, the escape velocity of the squirrel is 3.75 m/s

What is sex And new born baby why connected to women's veins?

A brick of mass 2.0kg is at rest. It falls to the ground through a
Lisa [10]

Answer:

I may not have the answer so i'll just give up some hints.

Multiply the time by the acceleration due to gravity to find the velocity when the object hits the ground. If it takes 9.9 seconds for the object to hit the ground, its velocity is (1.01 s)*(9.8 m/s^2), or 9.9 m/s. Choose how long the object is falling. In this example, we will use the time of 8 seconds. Calculate the final free fall speed (just before hitting the ground) with the formula v = v₀ + gt = 0 + 9.80665 * 8 = 78.45 m/s . Find the free fall distance using the equation s = (1/2)gt² = 0.5 * 9.80665 * 8² = 313.8 m .h = 0.5 * 9.8 * (1.5)^2 = 11m. b. V = gt = 9.8 * 1.5 = 14.7m/s. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly. If a feather and a brick were dropped together in a vacuum—that is, an area from which all air has been removed—they would fall at the same rate, and hit the ground at the same time.When an object's point is taller the thing that is going down it will go faster than when the point is lower. EXAMPLE: The object is the tennis ball if you drop it down the higher hill it will be faster than if you drop it down a shorter hill. In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both objects are dropped from the same height and at the same time, the heavier object should hit the ground before the lighter one.

I hope my little bit (big you may say) hint help you with your question.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
matrenka [14]

Answer:

a) 6.1 m

b) 4.6 s

c) 1.326 m/s

d) 0.325 m

Explanation:

a) The wave length is the distance between 2 crests λ = 6.1m

b) The period of the wave is the time it takes from the lowest point to the next lowest point, which is twice the time it takes from the lowest point to the highest point = 2*2.3 = 4.6 s

c) The speed of the wave is the distance per unit of time, or wave length over period = 6.1 / 4.6 = 1.326 m/s

d)The amplitude A is half the distance from the highest point to the lowest point = 0.65 / 2 = 0.325 m
