Answer:

When the velocity of an object changes it is said to be accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. ... Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction. Much like velocity, there are two kinds of acceleration: average and instantaneous. answer velocity or direction.

hope this helps!

The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift<span> of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.</span>

Answer:

m = 1.26*10²⁵ kg.

Explanation:

Assuming that the mass of the stone is much smaller than the mass of the planet, we can get the mass, applying the Universal Law of  Gravitation to both masses, as follows:

Fg = G* ms* mp / rp²

Now, if we apply Newton's 2nd Law to the mass of the stone, we can get the gravitational acceleration, as follows:

Fg = ms*a = ms*g ⇒ g = G*mp / rp²

First of all, we need to get the value of g.

Assuming that this acceleration is constant, we can appy the kinematic equations to this situation.

We know that the stone is thrown upward with an initial velocity vo = 15 m/s.

At the highest point in the trajectory, just before of changing direction, the stone comes momentarily to a stop.

At this point, applying the definition of acceleration, we can write:

vf = vo -g*t ⇒ 0 = vo -gt ⇒ g = vo/t (1)

We have the total time since the stone was thrown upwards, not the one used for the upward trajectory.

It can be showed, using the expression for the displacement (which is the same in both directions) that the time used for going up, it's the same used to go down, so the time that we need to put in (1). is just the half of the total time.

So, replacing in (1) we get the value of g, as follows:

g = 15 m/s / 4.5 s = 3.33 m/s²

Now, we can replace this value in the equation that gives us g based in the Universal Law of Gravitation, as follows:

g=G*mp / rp² (2)

Before solving for mp, however, we need to get the value of the radius of the planet.

Assuming that it's a perfect sphere, we can get this value from the value of the circumference at the planet's equator:

rp = 2*π*rp / 2*π ⇒ rp = 1.0*10⁵ km / 2*π = 15,915 km.

With this value for  rp, we can solve (2) for mp, as follows:

mp= g*rp² / G = 3.33 m/s² * (15,915 km)² / 6,67*10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

mp = 1.26*10²⁵ kg.

Average speed = total distance / time ⇒ total distance = average speed *  time

Average speed = 270 km / p hours

A train, traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the t
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

123.30 m

Explanation:

Given

Speed, u = 22 m/s

acceleration, a = 1.40 m/s²

time, t = 7.30 s

From equation of motion,

                       v = u + at

where,

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is time  

                       V = at + U

using equation  v - u = at to get line equation for the graph of the motion of the train on the incline plane

                       V_{x} = mt + V_{o}      where m is the slope

Comparing equation (1) and (2)

V = V_{x}

a = m    

U = V_{o}

Since the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s² when going up the incline plane. This implies the train is decelerating. Therefore, the train is experiencing negative acceleration.

          a = -  1.40 m/s²

Sunstituting a = -  1.40 m/s² and  u = 22 m/s

                        V_{x} = -1.40t + 22

                            V_{x} = -1.40(7.30) + 22

                             V_{x} = -10.22 + 22

                             V_{x} = 11. 78 m/s

The speed of the train at 7.30 s is 11.78 m/s.

The distance traveled after 7.30 sec on the incline is the area cover on the incline under the specific interval.

           Area of triangle +  Area of rectangle

          [\frac{1}{2} * (22 - 11.78) * (7.30)]  + [(11.78 - 0) * (7.30)]

                           = 37.303 + 85.994

                           = 123. 297 m

                           ≈ 123. 30 m
