Answer:

4m/s2

Explanation:

acceleration=v-u/t...v=12m/s,u=0m/s,t=3sec

a=12-0/3

=4m/s2

A satellite orbits the earth a distance of 1.50 × 107 m above the planet's surface and takes 8.65 hours for each revolution abou

kupik [55]

Answer:

The acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.

The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period

For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite ( $1.50x10^{7} m$ ) and the Earth radius ( $6.38x10^{6} m$ ) :

$r = 1.50x10^{7} m+6.38x10^{6}m$

$r = 21.38x10^{6}m$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$T = 8.65 hrs \cdot \frac{3600 s}{1hrs}$ ⇒ $31140 s$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (21.38x10^{6}m)}{31140s}$

$v = 4313 m/s$

Finally equation 1 can be used:

$a = \frac{(4313m/s)^{2}}{21.38x10^{6}m}$

$a = 0.87 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

Arunner starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 8.0 meters per

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is given by:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Acceleration is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction.

For the runner in this problem, we have:

u = 0 is the initial velocity (he starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

t = 4.0 s is the time taken

Substituting, we find

$a=\frac{8.0-0}{4.0}=2.0 m/s^2$

Write a collision scenario here. If you choose your own collision, you can have neither, one, or both of the objects break. Be s

OleMash [197]

Answer:

My scenario would be A Car vs. a guard rail on a road. You have a car that is coming down a Highway at a speed of 43 Mph Miles per hour (69.2018 Kmh)

And it hits a steel guardrail and the car smashes in at the front and the guardrail is only bent while the car has the bumper and the hood along with the headlights and windshield along with the passenger side window break.

Explanation:

This is caused by so much force reacting from one object to another but also depends on molecular density.
