Which statement correctly describes the differences between positive and negative acceleration?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: c) Positive acceleration describes an increase in speed; negative acceleration describes a decrease in speed.

Hey

On Earth, you can move or you can not move. if you are moving 50 mph that means relative to Earth (not the Andromeda galaxy). When you start moving (accelerating) you are now moving relative to Earth. when you start slowing down (decelerating [most scientists just say you have negative acceleration]) you are starting to match your velocity to Earth's velocity.

Hope it helped and made any sence at all.

One recently discovered extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits a star whose mass is 0.70 times the mass of our sun. This planet

0.078 times the orbital radius r of the earth around our sun is the exoplanet's orbital radius around its sun.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given that planet is revolving around the earth so from the statement of centrifugal force, we know that any

$\frac{G M m}{r^{2}}=m \omega^{2} r$

The orbit’s period is given by,

$T=\sqrt{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega r^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{G M}}$

Where,

$T_{e}$ = Earth’s period

$T_{p}$ = planet’s period

$M_{s}$ = sun’s mass

$r_{e}$ = earth’s radius

Now,

$T_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{G M_{s}}}$

As, planet mass is equal to 0.7 times the sun mass, so

$T_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{r_{p}^{3}}{0.7 G M_{s}}}$

Taking the ratios of both equation, we get,

$\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{G M_{s}}}}{\sqrt{\frac{r_{p}^{3}}{0.7 G M_{s}}}}$

$\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.7 \times r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}}$

$\left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2}=\frac{0.7 \times r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}$

$\left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}=\frac{r_{e}^{3}}{r_{p}^{3}}$

$\frac{r_{e}}{r_{p}}=\left(\left(\frac{T_{e}}{T_{p}}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Given $T_{p}=9.5 \text { days }$ and $T_{e}=365 \text { days }$

$\frac{r_{e}}{r_{p}}=\left(\left(\frac{365}{9.5}\right)^{2} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=\left(\frac{133225}{90.25} \times \frac{1}{0.7}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=(2108.82)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$r_{p}=\left(\frac{1}{(2108.82)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\right) r_{e}=\left(\frac{1}{12.82}\right) r_{e}=0.078 r_{e}$

Ball 1 Has uchanging motion because it continually goes up no matter what. Ball 2 has no motion. And ball 3 changing motion because it goes from not moving to moving. Hope this helps
