An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter. Her partner measures the following velocity c

hanges, each taking place in a time interval 11.3 s . What are the average acceleration in each interval?
1.) At the beginning of the interval the astronaut is moving toward the right along the x-axis at 15.0 m/s, and at the end of the interval she is moving toward the right at 5.30 m/s.
a = ___________-??
2.) At the beginning she is moving toward the left at 5.30 m/s. and at the end she is moving toward the left at 15.0 m/s.
a =_________ ??
3.) At the beginning she is moving toward the right at 15.0 m/s, and at the end she is moving toward the left at 15.0 m/s.

Answer

given,

time interval = 11.3 s

a) initial velocity, vi = 15 m/s

   final velocity, v_f = -5.30 m/s

      a = \dfrac{v_f-v_i}{t}

      a = \dfrac{-5.30 -15}{11.3}

             a = -1.79 m/s²

   the direction is along left side

b)  initial velocity, vi = -5.30 m/s

   final velocity, v_f = -15 m/s

      a = \dfrac{v_f-v_i}{t}

      a = \dfrac{-15-(-5.30)}{11.3}

             a = -0.858 m/s²

   the direction is along left side

c) initial velocity, vi = 15 m/s

   final velocity, v_f = -15 m/s

      a = \dfrac{v_f-v_i}{t}

      a = \dfrac{-15-(15)}{11.3}

             a = -2.65 m/s²

   the direction is along left side

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So if there's no air resistance, the speed of a falling object
always increases by 9.8 m/s for every second it falls.

             Speed  =  (original speed) + (gravity  x  falling time)

-- If it has no vertical speed when it started, then at the end
of 3 seconds, its speed is

                         =       (0)            + (9.8 m/s²  x  3 sec)

                       Velocity  =  29.4 m/s downward .

A particle moves horizontally in uniform circular motion, over a horizontal xy plane. At one instant, it moves through the point
seropon [69]

since centripetal acceleration is always towards the center of the circle

so at the given position where speed and acceleration is given the center coordinate will be towards the center of circle

also we know that

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

11.6 = \frac{2.5^2}{R}

R = 0.54 m

so the coordinates of the center will be

(x, y) = (3.20 , (3.5 + 0.54))

(x, y) = (3.20, 4.04)

so the coordinate is (3.20 m, 4.04 m)
