Answer:

-10 m/s²

Explanion:

(0 m/s - 50 m/s) ÷ 5 seconds

You subtract the original speed from the final speed, (to get negative 50), then divide that by 5 seconds.

Hope this helps! :)

Known info;
v1/vi(starting velocity) = 50m/s
v2/vf (final velocity) = 0m/s
t(time) = 5second

Unknown info;
a=?

Formula;
v2 = v1 + at
0 = 50 + 5a (move 50 to other side to let 5a alone)
-50 = 5a (divide by 5 to let a alone and solve)
-10 m/s2 = a (answer)

The change in momentum of an object is equal to the Question 4 options: Force acting on it times its velocity. impulse acting on
lesya [120]

Answer:

impulse acting on it

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied to an object (F) and the time interval during which the force is applied (\Delta t):

I=F\Delta t

We can prove that this is equal to the change in momentum of the object. In fact, change in momentum is given by:

\Delta p = m \Delta v

where m is the mass and \Delta v is the change in velocity. Multiplying and dividing by \Delta t, we get

\Delta p = m \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \Delta t

and since \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} is equal to the acceleration, a, we have

\Delta p = ma \Delta t

And since the product (ma) is equal to the force, we have

\Delta p = F \Delta t

which corresponds to the impulse.

A loader sack of total mass
vampirchik [111]

Question: A loader sack of total mass

is l000 grams falls down from

the floor of a lorry 200 cm high

Calculate the workdone by the

gravity of the load.​

Answer:

19.6 Joules

Explanation:

Applying

W = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where W = Workdone by gravity on the load, m = mass of the loader sack, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity

From the question,

Given: m = 1000 grams = (1000/1000) kilogram = 1 kg, h = 200 cm = 2 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

W = (1×2×9.8)

W = 19.6 Joules

Hence the work done by gravity on the load is 19.6 Joules

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?
rjkz [21]
Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.

The average speed between earth and the sun is 1.50 x10^8 km. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometer
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The average speed of the earth in its orbit is 29.86km/s

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1.50x10^{8} km.

The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}  (1)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle

(r = 1.50x10^{8}km) instead of an ellipse.

It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.

Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:

365.25d . \frac{86400s}{1d} ⇒ 31557600s

Then, equation 1 can be used:

v = \frac{2 \pi (1.50x10^{8}km)}{31557600s}

v = 29.86km/s
