Answer:
10m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 0m/s
Final velocity = 100m/s
Time taken = 10s
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
A =
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time taken
So, insert the parameters and solve;
A = = 10m/s²
Answer:
<u></u> is the centripetal acceleration.
Explanation:
As per given values
Radius of earth (r) = 6371000 m
The "international space station" is orbiting with a velocity (v) = 7667 m/s.
"Centripetal acceleration" is the acceleration is equal to "the square of the velocity" divided by "the radius of the circular path".
V = velocity of the orbit
R = radius of the earth + height of the space station
R = 6,371,000 + 408,000
R = 6779000 m
The direction of the centripetal acceleration is always inwards along the radius vector of the circular motion.
