Use the definition of acceleration:
Acceleration = (change of velocity) divided by (time for the change)
The graph says:
Change of velocity = -6 m/s
Time for the change = 3 sec
So Acceleration = (-6m/s) / (3 s)
That's -6/3 m/s•s
or
-2 m/s^2
Answer:
Average speed = 3.63 m/s
Explanation:
The average speed during any time interval is equal to the total distance travelled divided by the total time.
That is,
Average speed = distance/ time
Let d represent the distance between A and B.
Let t1 be the time for which she has the higher speed of 5.15 m/s. Therefore,
5.15 = d/t1.
Make d the subject of formula
d = 5.15t1
Let t2 represent the longer time for the return trip at 2.80 m/s . That is,
2.80 = d/t2.
Then the times are t1 = d/5.15 5 and
t2 = d/2.80.
The average speed vavg is given by the following equation.
avg speed = Total distance/Total time
Avg speed = d + d/t1 + t2
Where
Total distance = 2d
Total time = t1 + t2
Total time = d/5.15 + d/2.80
Total time = (2.8d + 5.15d)/14.42
Total time = 7.95d/14.42
Total time = 0.55d
Substitute total distance and time into the formula above.
Avg speed = 2d / 0.55d
Avg Speed = 3.63 m/s
Answer:
(c) more than 500
Explanation:
Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.
