Answer:

The ball has an acceleration of -380 m/s², this means the ball slows down

An acceleration of -380 m/s² is the equivalent of 38.736 g's

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Velocity of the baseball at time t=0 = 38 m/s

At time t, the ball stops. This means v = 0

time before stops = 0.1s

Step 2: Calculate the acceleration

v= v0+at

with v= the velocity of the ball at time t = 0. v= 0

with v0 = the velocity of the ball at time t=0. v0 = 38 m/s

with a= the acceleration in m/s²

with t = time in seconds

0 = 38 + a*0.1

a = -380 m/s²

The ball has an acceleration of -380 m/s², this means the ball slows down

An acceleration of -380 m/s² is the equivalent of 38.736 g's

A satellite orbiting Earth at an orbital radius r has a velocity v. which represents the velocity if the satellite is moved to a
babunello [35]

Answer:

Option 2. √3 x V

Explanation:

Let the velocity of satellite orbiting Earth at r be V

Let the velocity of the satellite orbiting at 3r be V1

V (orbiting at r) = √(2gr)

V1 (orbiting at 3r) = √(2g3r)

Now let us find the ratio of V1(orbiting at 3r) to V(orbiting at r) .

This is illustrated below

V1 / V = √(2g3r)/√(2gr)

V1 / V = √3

Cross multiply to express in linear form

V1 = V x√3

V1 = √3 x V

From the above illustrations, we can see that the velocity of the satellite when it is moved to an orbital radius of 3r is: √3 x V

A distressed car is rolling backward, downhill at 3.0 m/s when its driver finally manages to
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration is equal to the change in velocity over the change in time, or

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t} where the change in velocity is final velocity minus initial velocity. Filling in:

3.0=\frac{v_f-(-3.0)}{6.0} Note that I made the backward velocity negative so the forward velocity in our answer will be positive.

Simplifying that gives us:

3.0=\frac{v_f+3.0}{6.0} and then isolating the final velocity, our unknown:

3.0(6.0) = v + 3.0 and

3.0(6.0) - 3.0 = v and

18 - 3.0 = v so

15 m/s = v and because this answer is positive, that means that the car is no longer rolling backwards (which was negative) but is now moving forward.
