] Ceres is composed of rock and ice and is estimated to comprise approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be rounded by its own gravity (though detailed analysis was required to exclude 4 Vesta). From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, peaking once every 15 to 16 months,[21]hence even at its brightest it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye except under extremely dark skies.
This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:
Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:
Net Force = (mass) x (zero)
or Net Force = (zero) .
"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.
So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.
By definition of average acceleration,
<em>a</em> = (20 m/s - 33.1 m/s) / (4.7 s) ≈ -2.78 m/s²
Vertically, the car is in equilibrium, so the net force is equal to the friction force in the direction opposite the car's motion:
∑ <em>F</em> = (1502.7 kg) (-2.78 m/s²) ≈ -4188.38 N ≈ -4200 N
If you just want the magnitude, drop the negative sign.
Answer:
An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
Explanation:
not enough information is given to determine the velocity of the object at time to=0.00s
