Speed is a magnitude, a scalar quantity (i.e. 65 mph)

Velocity is a magnitude and direction, a vector quantity (i.e. 65 mph north)

Acceleration is the change in velocity over a unit of time

(1) Different rates of acceleration.

Given for the motorcycle:

Vi = 80 km/h

Vf = 90 km/h

Given for the bicycle

Vi = 0.0 km/h

Vf = 10 km/h

*IF* the time unit is the same (let's say 10 seconds), the actual value is the SAME for each, because the change in velocity was the same for each. 10 km/h over 10 seconds.

a = [ Vf - Vi ] / t

a = [ (90 km/h) - (80 km/h) ] / (360 h)

a = [ 10 km/h ] / (360 h)

a = 0.023 km/h^2

See, same thing, bicycle or motorcycle, change is 10 km/h, over the same time period gives the same value.

Incidentally, you should usually use meters per second (m/s) and seconds (s) not hours and kilometers.

By approximately how much does your gravitational potential energy change when you jump

Svet_ta [14]

Potential Energy = height*mass*gravity
the height is factually the height of the center of mass, which will be varied the same as the lowest of your feet. So when you hurdle, the height that you jump can be used to distinguish the alteration in height of your center of mass.In other words, it is inclined on the mass of the human, be contingent on how extraordinary the person can jump. Supposing a man is 80 kg and he can jump such that his center of mass rises 0.3 m in Earth's standard gravitational field. This sums to approximately 240 Joules of increase in GPE.

One model for a certain planet has a core of radius R and mass M surrounded by an outer shell of inner radius R, outer radius 2R

Tanzania [10]

(a) $24.6 m/s^2$

At a distance r=R from the centre of the planet, there is no effect due to the outer shell: so, the gravitational field strength at r=R is only determined by the gravity produced by the core of the planet.

So, the strength of the gravitational field is given by

$g= \frac{GM}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M = 6.24 × 10^24 kg is the mass of the core of the planet

R = 4.11 × 10^6 m is the radius of the core

Substituting into the equation, we find

$g= \frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(6.24\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(4.11\cdot 10^6 m)^2}=24.6 m/s^2$

(b) $13.7 m/s^2$

at distance r=3R from the centre, the particle feels the effect of gravity due to both the core of the planet and the outer shell between R and 2R.

So, we have to consider the total mass that exerts the gravitational attraction at r=3R, which is the sum of the mass of the core (M) and the mass of the shell (4M):

M' = M + 4M = 5M

Therefore, the gravitational acceleration at r=3R will be

$g'= \frac{G(5M)}{(3R)^2}=\frac{5}{9}\frac{GM}{R^2} = \frac{5}{9}g$

And susbstituting

g = 24.6 m/s^2

found in the previous part, we find

$g' = \frac{5}{9} (24.6 m/s^2)=13.7 m/s^2$
