It changes slightly during a year. The average is about 93 million miles.
Answer: c) Positive acceleration describes an increase in speed; negative acceleration describes a decrease in speed.
Hey
On Earth, you can move or you can not move. if you are moving 50 mph that means relative to Earth (not the Andromeda galaxy). When you start moving (accelerating) you are now moving relative to Earth. when you start slowing down (decelerating [most scientists just say you have negative acceleration]) you are starting to match your velocity to Earth's velocity.
Hope it helped and made any sence at all.
Spiky bob your answerer.
Potential energy is measured using formula Ep=mgh
m=mass (kg)
g= acceleration due to gravity (which is 9.8 on earth)
h= height in metres above ground
For this question
m=0.1
g=9.8
h=1
So Ep=0.1(9.8)(1)
Ep=0.98 Joules
When it is dropped all of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy which can be measured using formula
Ek=1/2m(v^2) (v=final velocity)
Since all potential energy in this q is converted to kinetic we know Ek=0.98Joules and our mass is the same (0.1kg)
So when we sub everything in we get
0.98=1/2(0.1)(v^2)
0.98=0.05(v^2)||divide both side by 0.05
19.6=v^2 ||square root both sides
v=4.4 m/s
Answer:
Probably the more correct version of the story is that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree.
Answer:
v = 10 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m
Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s
We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,
v = d/t
Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.
