I believe this would be an example of positive acceleration as the initial velocity of the rocket is less than the final velocity, indicating that the rocket is accelerating and thus is positive.

The correct answer among all the other choices is positive acceleration. When a rocket ship leaves Earth's atmosphere, its initial velocity is less than its final velocity, this is an example of positive acceleration. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

Using our understanding of the law of gravity. What happens to the gravity as we triple the distance between two objects?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

1/9

Explanation:

<em>Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation </em>

Objects with mass feel an attractive force that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

F = GMm/r²

where  

F - the gravitatioal force in Newtons,  

M   and m  -two masses in kilograms  

r  - the separation in meters.  

G  - the gravitational constant (6.674*10 ⁻¹¹ N (m/kg) ² )

Because of the magnitude of  G , gravitational force is very small unless large masses are involved.

So according to above equation , when the masses are not changing , force is inversely propotional to the square of distance

F1 ∝ 1/r² ---------------(1)

F2 ∝ 1(3r)²

F2 ∝ 1/9r²--------------(2)

(2)/(1)

\frac{F_2}{F_1} =\frac{1}{9}\\ F_2 =\frac{F_1}{9}

From their you get as the distance tripled, Force reduce by a factor of 9(3³)

for example , assume the distance get doubled ,Force reduce by a factor of 4 (2²)

A ball is launched from ground level at 20 m/s at an angle of 40° above the
DedPeter [7]

(a) The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is given by

<em>y</em> = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :

0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

0 = <em>t</em> ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> )

<em>t</em> = 0   or   (20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> = 0

The first time refers to where the ball is initially launched, so we omit that solution.

(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 <em>g t</em>

<em>t</em> = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / <em>g</em>

<em>t</em> ≈ 2.6 s

(b) At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity. In the vertical direction, the ball is in free fall and only subject to the downward acceleration <em>g</em>. So

0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-<em>g</em>) <em>y</em>

where <em>y</em> in this equation refers to the maximum height of the ball. Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2<em>g</em>)

<em>y</em> ≈ 8.4 m
