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

What is the net force at the equilibrium point? Derive an equation for the location of the equilibrium point based on the accele
Vitek1552 [10]

To find a general equilibrium point for a spring based on the hook law, it is possible to start from the following premise:

Hook's law is given by:

F = k\Delta X

Where,

k= Spring Constant

\Delta X = Change in Length

F = Force

When there is a Mass we have two force acting at the System:

W= mg

Where W is the force product of the weigth. Then the force net can be defined as,

F_{net} = F+W

But we have a system in equilibrium, so

0 = K\Delta X -mg

We find the equilibrium for any location when

\Delta X = \frac{mg}{k}

In complete sentences describe the energy flow between the Sun, the Earth, and space
agasfer [191]
Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
