Over a time interval of 1.71 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +17.3 km/

s to -22.8 km/s. Find (a) the total change in the planet's velocity (in m/s) and (b) its average acceleration (in m/s2) during this interval. Include the correct algebraic sign with your answers to convey the directions of the velocity and the acceleration.

Answer:

a)40100m/s

b)-4.348x10^- m/s^2

Explanation:

to calculate the change in the planet's velocity we have to rest the speeds

ΔV=-22.8-17.3=-40.1km/s=40100m/s

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t  (1)\\\\

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X(2)\\\\

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}    (3)\\

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

for this problem we have to convert the time interval ins seconds, we know that a year has 53926560s

t=1.71years=53926560*1.71=92214417.6

then we can use the ecuation number 1 to calculate the aceleration

Vf=-22.8km/s

Vo=17.3km/s

Vf=Vo+at

a=(vf-vo)/t

a=(-22.8-17.3)/92214417.6

a=-4.348x10^-7 km/s^2=-4.348x10^- m/s^2

krek1111 [17]

Answer:Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum covers everything from gamma rays, x-rays, visible light, infrared, microwave and radio waves. Each part of the spectrum, including the different colors of visible light, have different wavelengths (the space between each wave).

A truck using a rope to tow a 2230-kg car accelerates from rest to 13.0 m/s in a time of 15.0s. How strong must the rope be? μk
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N

Explanation

Acceleration calculation

The car acceleration is equal to the acceleration of the truck

ac: car acceleration\frac{m}{s^{2} }

at: truck acceleration\frac{m}{s^{2} })

ac = at= \frac{vf-vi}{t-ti}  equation(1)

Known information:

vi = Initial speed = 0, ti = initial time = 0

vf = Final speed = 13 \frac{m}{s}, t = final time =5 s

We replaced the known information in the equation(1):

ac = at = \frac{13-0}{15-0}

ac=ac=\frac{13}{15}  \frac{m}{s}

Dynamic analysis

The forces acting on the car are the following:

Wc: Car weight

N: normal force, road force on the car

Ff: Friction force

T: Force of tension

Car weight calculation:

Wc=mc*g

mc = Car mass = 2230kg

g = Gravity acceleration=9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Wc= 2230*9.8

Wc=21854 N

Normal force calculation:

Newton's first law

sum Fy= 0

N-W=0

N=W

N=21854 N

Friction force calculation (Ff):

We have the formula to calculate the friction force:

Ff = μk * N  Equation (3)

μk kinetic coefficient of friction

We know that μk = 0.373and N= 21854N ,then:

Ff=0.373*21854

Ff=8151.54 N

Calculation of the tension force in the rope (T):

Newton's Second law

sum Fx= mc*ac

T-Ff=mc*ac

T=2230(\frac{13}{15}) + 8151.54

T=10084,21 N

Answer: The rope must have a force of 10084,21 N
