If the sun were to vanish instantly would earth immediately fly out of its orbit explain why or why not

Physics

<span>Answer: No, because Einstein demonstrated that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum and for something to happen instantly over that distance would require that speed to be exceeded. If somehow the sun were to vanish, without explosive effects, an enormous gravity wave would begin travelling outward affecting the planets at the speed of light - thus taking about 8 minutes to reach earth. But that is irrelevant because the only way to remove all that matter would be total conversion of the mass to energy and that energy would totally destroy everything - after the same 8 minutes.

Consider a particle moving along the x-axis where x(t) is the position of the particle at time t, x' (t) is its velocity, and x'
nignag [31]

The position of the particle is given by:

x(t) = t³ - 12t² + 21t - 9

Differentiate x(t) with respect to t to find the velocity x'(t):

x'(t) = 3t² - 24t + 21

Differentiate x'(t) with respect to t to find the acceleration x''(t):

x''(t) = 6t - 24

If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the 1200.-kg pick-up truck behind him continues tr
Alborosie

Answer: 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above, we have the following data;

M1 = 800kg

M2 = 1200kg

V1 = 13m/s

V2 = 25m/s

U (common velocity) =?

M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U

(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U

10400 + 30000 = 2000u

40400 = 2000u

U = 40400 / 2000

U = 20.2 m/s
