Answer:

acceleration = v-u/ t

= 15-10/5

= 5/5

= 1 m/s2

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1 \ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time. Therefore, the formula for calculating acceleration is:

$a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

Since the body's velocity increased from 10 meters per second to 15 meters per second 15 m/s is the final velocity and 10 m/s is the initial velocity. The time is 5 seconds.

$v_f$ = 15 m/s

$v_i$ = 10 m/s

t= 5 s

$a= \frac{ 15 \ m/s - 10 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Solve the numerator.

15 m/s - 10 m/s = 5 m/s

$a= \frac{ 5 \ m/s }{5 \ s}$

Divide.

$a= 1 \ m/s/s$

$a= 1 m/s^2$

The acceleration is 1 meter per second squared.

The Moon requires about 1 month (0.08 year) to orbit Earth. Its distance from us is about 400,000 km (0.0027 AU). Use Kepler’s t

Answer:

$\frac{M_e}{M_s} = 3.07 \times 10^{-6}$

Explanation:

As per Kepler's III law we know that time period of revolution of satellite or planet is given by the formula

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}$

now for the time period of moon around the earth we can say

$T_1 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r_1^3}{GM_e}}$

here we know that

$T_1 = 0.08 year$

$r_1 = 0.0027 AU$

$M_e$ = mass of earth

Now if the same formula is used for revolution of Earth around the sun

$T_2 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r_2^3}{GM_s}}$

here we know that

$r_2 = 1 AU$

$T_2 = 1 year$

$M_s$ = mass of Sun

now we have

$\frac{T_2}{T_1} = \sqrt{\frac{r_2^3 M_e}{r_1^3 M_s}}$

$\frac{1}{0.08} = \sqrt{\frac{1 M_e}{(0.0027)^3M_s}}$

$12.5 = \sqrt{(5.08 \times 10^7)\frac{M_e}{M_s}}$

$\frac{M_e}{M_s} = 3.07 \times 10^{-6}$

In levelling, the following staff readings were observed involving an inverted staff, A = 2.915 and B = -2.028. What is the rise

salantis [7]

Answer:

The rise from A to B is 0.887

Solution:

As per the question:

The following reading of an inverted staff is given as:

A = 2.915

B = -2.028

Here, for inverted staff, the greater reading shows greater elevation and lesser reading shows lower elevation.

Thus

The rise from A to B is given as:

A - B = 2.915 - 2.028 = 0.887

A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 60 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls until it

musickatia [10]

y=y0 + vt +1/2gt^2
(solve for t here) cause you know y,y0,v,g
you will do quad formula here

then:
v=v0 +at solve for v
(remember the direction of the ball too (signs))

The main thing to remember here is that when the ball passes exactly (height) where it was launched it will travel the speed at which it was launched. *its almost like the ball was thrown in the downward direction.

Tensile stress is: A. the strain per unit length. B. the ratio of elastic modulus to strain. C. the ratio of the change in lengt

victus00 [196]

Answer:

D. the same as force. the applied force per cross-sectional area.

Explanation:

Tensile stress of a material is defined as the ratio of the applied force on the material to its cross sectional area. this is expressed mathematically as;

Tensile stress = Force/cross sectional area

Tensile stress = F/A

Force is measured in newton while cross sectional area is measured in m

Hence the unit of Tensile stress is N/m²
