Answer:

First Kepler law states that Each planet describes an ellipsoidal motion about the sun as its single focus.

Second Kepler law states that An imaginary line joining a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals.

Third Kepler law states that The squares of period of revolution of the planet around the sun are proportional to the cubes of mean distance between the planet and the sun.

Weightlessness is the condition where the body has zero gravity ( its acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity )

A car is 200 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 40.0 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she m

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

4.17 m/s²

Explanation:

We are told the reaction time is 0.2 s. Now, during this reaction time the car is going to travel an additional distance of : x = u × t = 40 × 0.2 = 8 m

where u is the initial velocity of the car which is 40.0 m/s.

We are told that he had 200 m to stop before applying brakes. Thus, after applying brakes, he now has a distance to cover of; s = 200 - 8 = 192 m

Since vehicle is coming to rest acceleration would be negative, thus using Newton's equation of motion, we have;

v ² = u² - 2as

v = 0 m/s since it's coming to rest

u = 40 m/s

s = 192 m

Thus;

0² = 40² - 2(a)(192)

0² = 1600 - 384a

a = 1600/384

a = 4.17 m/s²

What is the momentum of a man of mass 10kg when he walks with a uniform velocity of 2m/s.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus

$Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)$

$p = mv$

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes

$Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Hence, the momentum of the man is $20kgm/s$

When a net force of 17.0 newtons is applied to a dictionary placed on a frictionless table, it accelerates by 3.75 meters/second

4vir4ik [10]

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) (Newton's second law of motion)

Divide both sides of the equation by 'acceleration', and you have

Mass = (force) / (acceleration)

Mass = 17 newtons / 3.75 meters per second-sqrd = 4.533 kilograms (rounded)
