Answer:

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

= (3,600 mi/hr) - ( 0 )

= 3,600 mi/hr

= same as 1 mile/second.

Acceleration = (1 mi/sec) / (10 sec)

= 0.1 mi/sec² .

But 1 mile = 5,280 ft,

0.1 mi/s² = 528 ft/s²

What is non uniform velocity

saul85 [17]

Answer:

"Non-uniform velocity" occurs when an object changes its velocity upon motion. This happens when the object either accelerates or decelerates (negative acceleration) in its speed or changes its direction.

Explanation:

"Velocity" refers to speed with a specific direction.

If the velocity is uniform, there's no change in speed and direction. However, if changes occur on either the speed, direction or both, then the velocity becomes variable or non-uniform.

For example, when it comes to a moving car, it is said to be in non-uniform velocity if the distances covered is unequal in relation to the equal intervals of time.

Why are the significantly more thunderstorms in Florida than in California?

Andreyy89

Because Florida is wet and humid, while California is dry and non-humid. Florida also contains lots of lakes which evaporate to create thunderstorms.

Un the way to the moon, the Apollo astro-

kherson [118]

Answer:

Distance = 345719139.4[m]; acceleration = 3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.

In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m

$r_{e} = distance earth to the astronaut [m].\\r_{m} = distance moon to the astronaut [m]\\r_{t} = total distance = 3.84*10^8[m]$

Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.

Mathematically this equals:

$F_{e} = F_{m}\\F_{e} =G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a}}{r_{e}^{2} } \\$

$F_{m} =G*\frac{m_{m}*m_{a} }{r_{m} ^{2} } \\where:\\G = gravity constant = 6.67*10^{-11}[\frac{N*m^{2} }{kg^{2} } ] \\m_{e}= earth's mass = 5.98*10^{24}[kg]\\ m_{a}= astronaut mass = 100[kg]\\m_{m}= moon's mass = 7.36*10^{22}[kg]$

When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant

$G*\frac{m_{e} *m_{a} }{r_{e}^{2} } = G*\frac{m_{m} *m_{a} }{r_{m}^{2} }\\\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2} } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} }$

To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.

$\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e}^{2} } = \frac{m_{m} }{r_{m}^{2} } \\\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(3.84*10^{8}-r_{m} )^{2} } = \frac{7.36*10^{22} }{r_{m}^{2} }\\81.25*r_{m}^{2}=r_{m}^{2}-768*10^{6}* r_{m}+1.47*10^{17} \\80.25*r_{m}^{2}+768*10^{6}* r_{m}-1.47*10^{17} =0$

Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.

$r_{m1,2}=\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}\\ where:\\a=80.25\\b=768*10^{6} \\c = -1.47*10^{17} \\replacing:\\r_{m1,2}=\frac{-768*10^{6}+- \sqrt{(768*10^{6})^{2}-4*80.25*(-1.47*10^{17}) } }{2*80.25}\\\\r_{m1}= 38280860.6[m] \\r_{m2}=-2.97*10^{17} [m]$

We work with positive value

rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]

Second part

The distance between the Earth and this point is calculated as follows:

re = 3.84 108 - 38280860.6 = 345719139.4[m]

Now the acceleration can be found as follows:

$a = G*\frac{m_{e} }{r_{e} ^{2} } \\a = 6.67*10^{11} *\frac{5.98*10^{24} }{(345.72*10^{6})^{2} } \\a=3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]$
