Answer:

175 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 2.4 m/s

a = 0.6 m/s²

t = 20.5 s

Unknown:

Δx

Equation:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Sub and solve:

Δx = (2.4 m/s) (20.5 s) + ½ (0.6 m/s²) (20.5 s)²

Δx ≈ 175 m

The asteroid belt circles the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. One asteroid has a period of 5.4 earth years.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

(a) Radius = 4.6 x 10^11 m

(b) speed = 16.96 km/s

Explanation:

Time period, T = 5.4 earth years

mass of sun, M = 1.989 x 10^30 kg

(a) Let the orbital radius is R.

use the formula of period

$T^2 = \frac{4 \pi^2 R^3}{G M}\\\\\left ( 5.4\times 365\times 24\times 3600 \right )^2 = \frac{4\times3.14\times 3.14\times R^3}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\\\\R = 4.6\times 10^{11} m$

(b) Let the speed is v.

$v=\frac{2 \pi\times R}{T}\\\\v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 4.6\times 10^{11}}{5.4\times 365\times 24\times 3600}\\\\v = 16963.6 m/s =16.96 km/s$

Consider a person sliding down a water slide at constant velocity. what are the forces acting on the person as they slide? are t

Andru [333]

Explanation :

When a person is sliding with constant velocity, the forces that are acting on him are :

(1) Weight, W = mg where g is acceleration due to gravity.

(2) Friction forces acting opposite to the direction of motion.

(3) Normal force.

The forces acting on the person is balanced because the person is sliding with constant velocity.

From figure it is clear that, friction force is balanced by $w\ sin\theta$ and normal is balanced by $w\ cos\theta$ .

Assoli18 [71]

A radar receiver indicates that a pulse return as an echo in 20 μs after it was sent. The reflecting object would be 3000 m away .

Phenomenon of hearing back our own sound is called an echo. It is due to successive reflection of sound waves from the surfaces or obstacles of large size. To hear an echo, there must be a time gap of 0.1 second in original sound and the reflected sound.

Given

time = 20 μs = 20 * $10^{-6}$ s
