Answer:

e) about 10 m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is nominally* 9.8 m/s². That means the change in velocity each second is ...

(9.8 m/s²)(1 s) = 9.8 m/s ≈ 10 m/s

_____

* This is the value expected to be used in the solution of many math and physics problems. The standard value of 'g' on Earth is defined as 9.80665 m/s². It varies from place to place and with altitude. At any given place, it may also vary with time as a result of changes in mass distribution within the Earth.

Answer:

a= -0.83m\s^2

Explanation:

a = v \ t

a = -25 \ 30 = -0.833 m\s^2

the object is slowing down 0.83 meter every second

A snail travels 300 cm in 4 minutes.calculate speed of snail in m/s

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$\frac{0.0125m}{s}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this question we need to know that $speed = \frac{distance}{time}$ . Then we need to convert 4 minutes into seconds and cm into m. We can do that by multiplying the number of minutes by 60 (because there is 60 seconds in one minute) and dividing the number of cm by 100 (because there is 100 cm in one m). So.......

4min = 4 x 60s = 240s

300cm = 300/100 m = 3m

Now we know that distance = 300m, and that the time = 4min = 240s ⇒

⇒ $speed=\frac{distance}{time} = \frac{3m}{240s} = \frac{0.0125m}{s}$

An asteroid orbiting the Sun has a mass of 4.00×1016 kg. At a particular instant, it experiences a gravitational force of 3.14×1

Ksivusya [100]

<h2>The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun</h2>

Explanation:

We have gravitational force

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

M = Mass of body 1

M = Mass of body 2

r = Distance between them

Here we have

M = Mass of Sun = 1.99×10³⁰ kg

m = Mass of asteroid = 4.00×10¹⁶ kg

F = 3.14×10¹³ N

Substituting

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\\3.14\times 10^{13}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}\times 4\times 10^{16}}{r^2}\\\\r=4.11\times 10^{11}m$

The asteroid is 4.11 x 10¹¹ m far from Sun
