Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Explanation: For example, acceleration is measured in m/2^2 or meters per second squared. That can also be split up into 2 components. M/s is how speed is measured, and since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, m/(s*s). You could say that since acceleration is m/s^2, it can also be represented as how much the speed increases over 1 second. if there was an acceleration of 3 m/s^2, the rate of change of speed would be 3m/s every second, meaning that the object would speed up 3m/s every second that passes by.

Hope this helps!

Calculate the speed with which the moon orbits the earth given the distance from earth to moon as R = 3.84 · 108 m. (Astronomers
marshall27 [118]
This sounds pretty easy, in fact. The orbital motion can be assumed to be circular and with constant speed. Then, the period is the time to do one revolution. The distance is the length of a revolution. That is 2*pi*R, where R is the distance between the Moon and the Earth (the respective centers to be precise). In summary, it's like a simple motion with constant speed:

v = 2*pi*R/T,

you have R in m and T is days, which multiplied by 86,400 s/day gives T in seconds.

Then v = 2*pi*3.84*10^8/(27.3*86,400) = 1,022.9 m/s ~ 1 km/s (about 3 times the speed of sound :)

For the Earth around the Sun, it would be v = 2*pi*149.5*10^9/(365*86,400)~ 29.8 km/s!

I know it's not in the problem, but it's interesting to know how fast the Earth moves around the Sun! And yet we do not feel it (that's one of the reasons some ancient people thought crazy the Earth not being at the center, there would be such strong winds!)

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Explanation:

r=A(1 m/s)t^i+A((1 m/s3)t3−6(1 m/s2)t2)^j,

dr / dt = A i  + (3 A t² - 6 x 2 t ) j

At t = 2

dr / dt = A i  + (12A - 24 A ) j  = A i - 12 A j .

Since slope is negative so velocity is downwards , hence it is descending

b ) velocity = dr / dr =  .  A i  + (3 A t² - 6 x 2 t ) j

Vx = A

Vy = 3A t² - 12 t

A radar receiver indicates that a pulse return as an echo in 20 μs after it was sent. How far away is the reflecting object? (c
Assoli18 [71]

A radar receiver indicates that a pulse return as an echo in 20 μs after it was sent. The reflecting object would be 3000 m away .

Phenomenon of hearing back our own sound is called an echo. It is due to successive reflection of sound waves from the surfaces or obstacles of large size. To hear an echo, there must be a time gap of 0.1 second in original sound and the reflected sound.

Given

time =  20 μs = 20 * 10^{-6} s

let distance to the reflecting surface be = x

total distance travelled by pulse will be  = 2x

speed = 3.0 × 10^{8} m/s

distance = speed * time

2x = 3.0 × 10^{8} * 20 * 10^{-6}

   x = 3000 m

The reflecting object would be 3000 m away
