Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

acceleration determines whether you will be adding to or subtracting from the velocity. while negative acceleration means you will subtract from the current value of the velocity and a positive acceleration means you will add

ANSWER:

✔ Positive acceleration represents an object speeding up; negative acceleration represents an object slowing down.

NOTE: Negative acceleration is also called as Retar-dation.

If the amount of gas in a sealed container increases, what happens to the pressure in the container

lilavasa [31]

The pressure law states that for a constant volume of gas in a sealed container the temperature of the gas is directly proportional to its pressure. This can be easily understood by visualising the particles of gas in the container moving with a greater energy when the temperature is increased.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 55.0 cm. She finds the pendulum m

forsale [732]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity will be $g=5.718m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given length of pendulum l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

It is given that pendulum completed 100 swings in 145 sec

So time taken by pendulum for 1 swing $=\frac{145}{100}=1.45sec$

We have to find the acceleration due to gravity at that point

We know that time period of pendulum;um is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

So $1.45=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}=0.230$

Squaring both side

${\frac{0.3025}{g}}=0.0529$

$g=5.718m/sec^2$

So acceleration due to gravity will be $g=5.718m/sec^2$

The International Space Station has a mass of 1.8 × 105 kg. A 70.0-kg astronaut inside the station pushes off one wall of the st

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the system is in international space station

so here we can say that net force on the system is zero here

so Force by the astronaut on the space station = Force due to space station on boy

so here we know that

mass of boy = 70 kg

acceleration of boy = $1.50 m/s^2$

now we know that

$F = ma$

$F = 70(1.50) = 105 N$

now for the space station will be same as above force

$F = ma$

$105 = 1.8 \times 10^5 (a)$

$a = \frac{105}{1.8 \times 10^5}$

$a = 5.83 \times 10^{-4} m/s^2$

What is a nebula? <br> please help I am clueless

Rainbow [258]

A nebula is gas, dust, and other things that form and form some sort of clould like thing. It also looks cool because of the colors it produces. I'm sure you could do a web search to find more about it, I don't take astronomy hahaha
