Hi there!

Since you are just trying to find the vertical acceleration and not the horizontal acceleration, angle and velocity do not come into play in this problem. The downward pull of gravity has a vertical acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s, which would be your answer.

When you're dealing with projectile problems, you have two dimensions: an x (horizontal) dimension and a y (vertical) dimension. The only force that will be acting upon a projectile in the air is the force of gravity, which points down in the y/vertical dimension.

Gravity causes a downward vertical acceleration of $-9.8 \:m/ s^{2}$ .
The velocity and angle do not affect the vertical acceleration.

A hiker walked a hiking trail according to the chart below. What is a possible explanation of the hiker's movement?

joja [24]

<span>a.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest stage

b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage

c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage

d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.

What is the kinetic energy of a 200 kg satellite as it follows a circular orbit of radius 8x106m around the earth?

motikmotik

Given the equation for the Speed of a Satellite

v = SqRt{Gravitational Constant}{Mass of Earth} divided by the radius given in your problem

we have:

(square root whole term on right side)

v = G Me
———
r

so. (6.67x10^-11)(5.97x10^24)
___________________
(8.0x10^6)

v = 7055 m/s (which is reasonable)

so utilize the Kinetic Energy Formula

KE = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2(200)(7055)^2

KE = 4.977x10^9 J

A 790kg car moving at 7 m/s takes a turn around a circle with a radius of 20 m. Determined the net force (in Newton’s) acting up

prisoha [69]

1935.5 N is the "net force" acting on a car.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

Mass of the car is 790 kg.

Velocity of the car is 7 m/s. (v)

It turned around with 20 m. (r)

We know that, Net force = m × a
