Answer:

Velocity vectors are always perpendicular to the circle.

Acceleration vectors point toward the center of the circle.

Velocity vectors are the same length.

Explanation:

(THESE ARE NOT MY WORDS BTW)

1) Acceleration and velocity are vectorial quantities, which means they have magnitude and direction.

2) In a circular motion velocity direction changes all the time, which means that it is accelerated.

3) In a uniform circular motiion, the velocity changes in a constant value. This is the rate of change of velocity, which is the magnitude of the acceleration, is constant (uniform).

4) The velocity is perpendicular to the path, i.e. the circle. You can see it if you think that if the object stopped changing the direction, then the object would follow a straight path (as per inertia principle). That is why this velocity is called tangential velocity (to differentiate it of the angular velocity).

This is what the option C says "Velocity vectors are always perpendicular to the circle". Then this is true.

5) The constant change of direction in a circular path, means that the object is been pushed, accelerated, toward the center of a circle. This is, all the time the object in motion tries to follow the perpendicular path but a push (a force) directed to the center of the circle changes its direction. Such force accelerates the object toward the center of the circle. So, the acceleration vectors point toward the center of the circle, which is what the option D says. So, this is also true.

6) Since the motion is uniform, the magnitude or length of the velocity vectors are always the same, are constant. So, the option E. is also true.

What characteristic of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it?
Korvikt [17]
The mass of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it. This is according to Newton's Law of Gravitation, which basically states that the more mass a body has, the greater the force of attraction it exerts on other bodies with mass near it.

The gravitational force is:

F = GMm/r², where G is a constant, r is the distance between large mass M and small mass m.

Considering the fact that acceleration is force per unit mass, if we divide gravitational force by the small mass (to get force per unit mass), we see the dependence mathematically:

a = GM/r²

A toy car is given an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s656-03-02-00-00_files/i02900
Whitepunk [10]
It would be 17 m/s

If we use

V2 = V1 + a*t
Sub in 5 for v1
2m/s*2 for a
And
6 for t
That should give you the answer.

The acceleration due to the earth's gravity, in si units, is 9.8 m/s2. in the absence of air friction, a ball is dropped from re
gogolik [260]
We don't know anything about the amount of distance it travels, but that's okay. The only equation we need here is 

velocity(final) = velocity(initial) + acceleration * time
vf = vi + (a * t)

The ball is dropped from rest, so vi = 0 m/s.
We want it so that the ball hits the ground with a final velocity of 60 m/s, so vf = 60 m/s. 
We are given the acceleration due to gravity, a = 9.8 m/s^2.
We are solving for the time, t = ?.

Now we just plug in the values.
vf = vi + (a * t)
60 m/s = 0 m/s + (9.8 m/s^2)*(t)

60 = 9.8t

60 / 9.8 = t

t = 6.122 s

Hopefully this is the right answer.
