Answer:

A. speed = 7.14 Km/s

B. distance = 1820.7 Km

Explanation:

Given that: a = 14.0 m/ $s^{2}$ , t = 8.50 minutes.

But,

t = 8.50 = 8.50 x 60

= 510 seconds

A. By applying the first equation of motion, the speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minutes can be determined by;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

So that,

v = 14 x 510

= 7140 m/s

The speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minute is 7.14 Km/s.

B. the distance traveled can be determined by applying second equation of motion.

s = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ a $t^{2}$

where: s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

s = $\frac{1}{2}$ a $t^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 14 x $(510)^{2}$

= 7 x 260100

= 1820700 m

The distance that the shuttle has traveled during the given time is 1820.7 Km.

Part complete How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per five seconds?

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$L=6.21m$

Explanation:

For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:

$\frac{d^{2}\theta}{dt^{2}}+\frac{g}{L}sin(\theta)=0$ ,

where $\theta$ is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:

$\omega^{2}=\frac{g}{L}$ ,

where $\omega$ is the angular frequency.

There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$ ,

where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:

$(\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}=\frac{g}{L}\\\\L=g(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=9.8(\frac{5}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=6.21m$

For an object in uniform circular motion, what can you say about the directions of the velocity, acceleration, and net force vec

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: b) The velocity vector is perpendicular to the acceleration vector; the acceleration vector is parallel to the net force vector.

Explanation: A change in velocity creates an acceleration. As the object rotates through the circular path it is constantly changing direction, and hence accelerating, which causes a constant force to act upon the object. This Force acts towards the center of curvature, directly toward the axis of rotation in a direction parallel to the acceleration of the body along the path. Because the object is moving perpendicular to the force, the path followed by the object is a circular one. Hence the velocity of the object is perpendicular to the acceleration.

The Kinetic Theory of Matter states that the particles that make up all matter are in perpetual motion. We know that a solid can

evablogger [386]

<span>1) Explain how the particles that make up solid matter can be in perpetual motion if they do not change position. Answer: they do not mov, just vibrate a bit more and move further apart. And as a result solid expand a bit.

</span><span>2) How the Kinetic Theory of Matter defines heat. Answer: Heat is a form of energy that particles convert into kinetic energy. Adding a heat energy increases the kinetic energy of particles. This means that as a substance is heated - the particles vibrate faster and move further apart. </span>
