Which of the following is NOT accelerating?

I would say the answer to your question is A Ferris wheel turning at a constant speed. The reasoning behind this answer is the fact that traveling in a constant direction at a constant speed is not accelerating. The Ferris wheel is the only option that fits this description. The last option would be incorrect due to independent causes such as speed limit changes as well as turns and stops on the highway.

A video game includes an asteroid that is programmed to move in a straight line across a 17-inch monitor according to the equati

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The asteroid's acceleration at this point is $2.71\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

The equation that governs the trajectory of asteroid is given by :

$x=6.5t-2.3t^3$

The velocity of asteroid is given by :

$v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{d(6.5t-2.3t^3)}{dt}\\\\v=6.5-6.9t^2$

At some point during the trip across the screen, the asteroid is at rest. It means, v = 0

So,

$6.5-6.9t^2=0\\\\t=0.971\ s$

Acceleration,

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\dfrac{d(6.5-6.9t^2)}{dt}\\\\a=-13.8t$

Put t = 0.971 s

$a=-13.8\times 0.197\\\\a=-2.71\ m/s^2$

So, the asteroid's acceleration at this point is $2.71\ m/s^2$ and it is decelerating.

The space shuttle fleet was designed with two booster stages. If the second stage provides a thrust of 73 kilo-newtons and the

Tresset [83]

Answer:

m = 81281.5 pounds.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 73 kN

Acceleration of the space shuttle, a = 16000 mi/h²

1 miles/h² = 0.0001241 m/s2

16000 mi/h² = 1.98 m/s²

We need to find the mass of the spacecraft.

According to Newton's second law,

F = ma

m is mass of the spacecraft

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{73\times 10^3\ N}{1.98\ m/s^2}\\\\m=36868.68\ kg$

Since, 1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

m = 81281.5 pounds

Hence, the mass of the spacecraft is 81281.5 pounds.
