A 10,000kg space ship is orbiting the moon with a radius of 25km from the ship to the center of the moon. It's tangential speed

is 125m/s. What is the ships centripetal acceleration?
Is this the correct set-up for this problem.

ac=10,000kg(125m/s)2/25,000m

True or False?

In Figure 10-1, if the force exerted on a 3.0-kg backpack that is initally at rest is 20.0 N and the distance it acts over is 0.
pshichka [43]
I'm going to assume this is over a horizontal distance. You know from Newton's Laws that F=ma --> a = F/m. You also know from your equations of linear motion that v^2=v0^2+2ad. Combining these two equations gives you v^2=v0^2+2(F/m)d. We can plug in the given values to get v^2=0^2+2(20/3)0.25. Solving for v we get v=1.82 m/s!

Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon
Nikitich [7]
The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.

The same wave travels for 2 seconds, what is its frequency?*
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

In waves distance is measured by wave length  and time is measured by frequency or period.

velocity ratio=wave length multiply by frequency.

HENCE, if the same wave travels for 2 econds its frequency will be 2Hz.
