Answer:

a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

Explanation:

Recall the kinematic formula for displacement under the action of a constant acceleration "a":

yf - yi = 1/2 a  t^2

using the information provided this equation becomes:

9 = 1/2 a (3)^2

solve for a:

9 * 2 / 9 = a

then a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

The difference in the composition of the terrestrial planets and the gas giants can be explained by the different condensation
miv72 [106K]
The inner planets are usually rocky because the gravitational pull is stronger closer to the star or in this case the sun. The dust and rocky particles that are left over after a super nova or in a nebula will tend to orbit closer to a proto-star when a solar system is in its early days. In our solar system these planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Gases are less dense and will be less affected by the pull of gravity because rocky particles have more mass. The outer planets are gas giants formed from clouds of gas that would be further out in the spinning disk around a proto-star.

What is an inertial reference frame?
Gennadij [26K]
<h2>Answer: A system in which Newton's Laws are fulfilled</h2>

An inertial reference system is a reference system in which the principle of inertia is fulfilled, which is one of Newton's laws:

<em>"For a body to have acceleration, an external force must act on it" </em>

In addition, the other Newton's laws of movement are fulfilled.

Therefore, the variation of the linear momentum of the system is equal to the actual forces on the system.

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars
shtirl [24]
In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s
