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

1. Millions of gallons of water are wasted by households in America on a yearly basis as a result of wastage of water in the laundry rooms. There are many ways by which water can be conserved in the laundry room, these include:
1. Using a high efficiency washing machine.
2. Choosing the right load sizes and cycles when using washing machines.
3. Wearing clothes more than once before washing them.
4. Collection of grey and rain water.
5. Treat difficult stains before washing them.

2. Using a high efficiency machine will ensure that water is used efficiently. A high efficiency washing machine uses much less water and save about 6,000 gallons of water for an average family on a yearly basis according to Environmental Protection Agency. 
Grey water refers to water that have used once. Water that has been used for washing clothes or bathing can be collected again, recycle and use for some household needs such as gardening, flushing of toilet, etc. Water tanks can also be installed to collect rain water which can be used for washing clothes. This will have positive effect on household overall water consumption.

Describe three physical changes that occur in nature?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: Physical changes in nature could then be erosion in a mountain, the melting of snow, and a river freezing over from the cold. Since none of these changes affect the chemical composition of the mountain, the snow, or the river, they are physical changes.
