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

Where are you on Earth if you experience each of the following? (Refer to the discussion in Observing the Sky: The Birth of Astr
Aloiza [94]

Explanation:

We know that the sky appears to us like a sphere called as celestial sphere which appears to rotate around an imaginary axis because of Earth's rotation. Since the axis cuts the celestial sphere at celestial poles all the object seems to circle around the celestial poles.

Condition 1: The stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon

The observer is at the equator

Condition 2: The stars circle the sky parallel to the horizon

The observer is at the Pole of the Earth

Condition 3: The celestial equator passes through the zenith

The observer is at the equator

Condition 4: In the course of a year, all stars are visible

The observer is at the equator

Condition 5: The Sun rises on March 21 and does not set until September 21 (ideally)

The observer is at North Pole

I just need number 2

We will apply the conservation of linear momentum to answer this question.

Whenever there is an interaction between any number of objects, the total momentum before is the same as the total momentum after. For simplicity's sake we mostly use this equation to keep track of the momenta of two objects before and after a collision:

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'

Note that v₁ and v₁' is the velocity of m₁ before and after the collision.

Let's choose m₁ and v₁ to represent the bullet's mass and velocity.

m₂ and v₂ represents the wood block's mass and velocity.

The bullet and wood will stick together after the collision, so their final velocities will be the same. v₁' = v₂'. We can simplify the equation by replacing these terms with a single term v'

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v' + m₂v'

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂)v'

Let's assume the wood block is initially at rest, so v₂ is 0. We can use this to further simplify the equation.

m₁v₁ = (m₁+m₂)v'

Here are the given values:

m₁ = 0.005kg

v₁ = 500m/s

m₂ = 5kg

Plug in the values and solve for v'

0.005×500 = (0.005+5)v'

v' = 0.4995m/s

v' ≅ 0.5m/s

The ransom note in the Lindbergh kidnapping case included some obvious spelling errors and other foreign and regional language.
Dimas [21]

Answer: The FBI used a technique which is called Latent Fingerprint Identification: a silver nitrate solution was used to cause a reaction of the unseen fingerprints perspiration left by the kidnappers all over the ransom notes. The reaction caused the perspiration to turn into silver chloride. This substance is white and it is also visible to the naked eye which means the fingerprints of the perpetrators were easily identifiable.

sorry if this is wrong, i hope i helped

A 5.50 kg sled is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal road. The sled is pulled a distance of 3.20 m by a force of 25.
kiruha [24]

(a) 69.3 J

The work done by the applied force is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where:

F = 25.0 N is the magnitude of the applied force

d = 3.20 m is the displacement of the sled

\theta=30^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the sled

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

W=(25.0 N)(3.20 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=69.3 J

(b) 0

The problem says that the surface is frictionless: this means that no friction is acting on the sled, therefore the energy dissipated by friction must be zero.

(c) 69.3 J

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by the applied force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sled:

\Delta K = W

where

\Delta K is the change in kinetic energy

W is the work done

Since we already calculated W in part (a):

W = 69.3 J

We therefore know that the change in kinetic energy of the sled is equal to this value:

\Delta K=69.3 J

(d) 4.9 m/s

The change in kinetic energy of the sled can be rewritten as:

\Delta K=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (1)

where

Kf is the final kinetic energy

Ki is the initial kinetic energy

m = 5.50 kg is the mass of the sled

u = 0 is the initial speed of the sled

v = ? is the final speed of the sled

We can calculate the variation of kinetic energy of the sled, \Delta K, after it has travelled for d=3 m. Using the work-energy theorem again, we find

\Delta K= W = Fd cos \theta =(25.0 N)(3.0 m)(cos 30^{\circ})=65.0 J

And substituting into (1) and re-arrangin the equation, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(65.0 J)}{5.50 kg}}=4.9 m/s
