Answer:

a force that attracts matter to the earth

Explanation:

depends on where you are the gravity can be different in space there is no gravity on Earth there is , that's why when you jump you come back down

A satellite’s velocity is 30000m/s. After 60 secs, it’s velocity shows to 15000m/a. What is the satellite’s acceleration?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Acceleration = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2 ( deceleration )

Explanation:

From the first equation of motion:

V = u + at

15000 = 30000 + 60a

a = ( 15000-30000)/60

a = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 11.1 rad/s in 2.99 s.(a) fi

elena55 [62]

The angular acceleration of a rotating object is given by
$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$
where
$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed of the object
$\omega_i$ is its initial angular speed
$\Delta t$ is the time taken to accelerate

For the wheel in our problem, $\omega_f=11.1 rad/s$ , $\omega_i = 0$ and $\Delta t=2.99 s$ , so its angular acceleration is
$\alpha= \frac{11.1 rad/s-0}{2.99 s}=3.71 rad/s^2$

Why burette calibrated from top to bottom?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

In order to measure the amount of solution added in or drained out, the burette must be observed at eye level straight to the bottom of the meniscus. The liquid in the burette should be completely free of bubbles to ensure accurate measurements.

A force of 14 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching i

enyata [817]

Answer:

$W = 19.8 J$

Explanation:

14 lb force is required to stretch the spring by 4 inch distance

So we have

$F = 14 lbf$

$F = 6.35 \times 9.8 N$

$F = 62.3 N$

stretch in the spring is given as

$x = 4 in = 0.1016 m$

now we will have

$F = kx$

$62.3 = k(0.1016)$

$k = 613.125 N/m$

Now we need to find the work to stretch it by x = 10 in = 0.254 m

so we have

$W = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$W = \frac{1}{2}(613.125)(0.254)^2$

$W = 19.8 J$

Express the number in scientific notation: 4/100

ankoles [38]

Answer:

4*10^-2

Explanation:

for the scientific notation the first number must be between 1 and 10, so in this case it is 4. 4/100 is also equal to 0.04, and if we could the number of places before 4, there are two, therefore 4 times 10 to the power of -2
