Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

This is a case of velocity, since velocity apart from having magnitude also has direction. the person walks at 8 [m/s] to the North.

When we talk about speed, we only talk about the magnitude without taking into account the direction.

Answer:

I think it is velocity.

because velocity shows the direction and magnitude .

Question 5 At 12:00 pm, a spaceship is at position ⎡⎣324⎤⎦ km ⎣ ⎢ ⎡ ​ 3 2 4 ​ ⎦ ⎥ ⎤ ​ km away from the origin with respect to so
Anettt [7]

Answer:

[1, 6, -2]

Explanation:

Given the following :

Initial Position of spaceship : [3 2 4] km

Velocity of spaceship : [-1 2 - 3] km/hr

Location of ship after two hours have passed :

Distance moved by spaceship :

Velocity × time

[-1 2 -3] × 2 = [-2 4 -6]

Location of ship after two hours :

Initial position + distance moved

[3 2 4] + [-2 4 -6] = [3 + (-2)], [2 + 4], [4 + (-6)]

= [3-2, 2+4, 4-6] = [1, 6, -2]

a 2100-kg car drives with a speed of 18 m/s onb a flat road around a curve that has a radius of curvature of 83m. The coefficien
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

<u>The magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

Explanation:

Using the definition of the centripetal force we have:

\Sigma F=ma_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where:

  • m is the mass of the car
  • v is the speed
  • R is the radius of the curvature

Now, the force acting in the motion is just the friction force, so we have:

F_{f}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

F_{f}=2100\frac{18^{2}}{83}

F_{f}=8197.60 \: N

<u>Therefore the magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

I hope it helps you!

lanet R47A is a spherical planet where the gravitational acceleration on the surface is 3.45 m/s2. A satellite orbitsPlanet R47A
qaws [65]

2.6×10^6\:\text{m}

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}

and solving for R, we find that

R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration F_c experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force F_G or

F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)

The orbital velocity <em>v</em> is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}

where <em>r</em><em> </em>is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and <em>T</em> is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}

Solving for <em>M</em>, we get

M = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get

R = \sqrt{\dfrac{G}{g}\left(\dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}\right)}

\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{g}}

\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{(1.44×10^4\:\text{s})}\sqrt{\dfrac{(5×10^6\:\text{m})^3}{(3.45\:\text{m/s}^2)}}

\:\:\:\:= 2.6×10^6\:\text{m}

Which of the following is not one of the observed characteristics of our solar system?
Sindrei [870]
<span>The characteristic not observed is the sun and planets rotate in the same direction. The planets in the solar system go around the sun. The sun is in a fixed position relative to planets. The time one planet takes to go around the sun is a year on that planet. the suns gravity keeps the solar system together and th planets revolving aroud it </span>
