Part A

Free fall motion
h = 3.1 m

Equation: Vf = √(2gh) = √(2*9.8 m/s^2 * 3.1 m) = 7.8 m/s

That is the only part in the question.

Different asteroids reflect different percentages of the light falling on them. This is due to the fact that they have different
Georgia [21]

Due to the Composition, different asteroids reflect different percentages of the light falling on them.

What are Asteroids:

  • Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. Although asteroids orbit the Sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets.
  • Asteroids are generally made up of rocky material, metals and their size are large in  comparison to comets. Asteroid belt is found between Jupiter and Mars.

Composition of Asteroids:

  • Most of the asteroids in the Main Belt are made of rock and stone.
  • The remaining asteroids are made up of a mix of these, along with carbon-rich materials. Some of the more distant asteroids tend to contain more ices.

We determine reflectivity of asteroids by comparing the brightness of light in the visible spectrum to the brightness of light in the infrared spectrum. The light shining from asteroids is reflected sunlight.

Hence we can say that,

Due to the Composition, different asteroids reflect different percentages of the light falling on them.

A car was moving a 14 m/s. After 30 seconds, it’s speed increased to 20 m/s. What was its acceleration during this time?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

acceleration = 0.2 m/s/s

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 14

final velocity v = 20

time = 30

acceleration = ?

v = u + at

20 = 14 + 30a

30a = 6

a = 0.2 m/s/s

Katarina [22]

Answer: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

Height or distance (s) = 2.83m

The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0

Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2

From the 3rd equation of motion:

V^2 = u^2 - 2gs

Where V = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Therefore, u = Vi

u = √Vf^2 - 2gs

u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)

u = √0 + 55.468

u = √55.468

u = 7.4476 m/s

u = 7.45m/s
