The acceleration due to gravity serves as the centripetal acceleration of the objects that orbits the Earth. The centripetal acceleration due to gravity is calculated through the equation,
a = v²/r
where v is the speed and r is the radius. Substituting the known values to the equation,
9.8 m/s² = (420 m/s)² / r
The value of r from the equation is 18000 m or equal to 18 km.
<em>Answer: 18 km</em>
The weight should be shared between the two string equally. Therefore, tension in each string, T is;
T = 120 N/2 = 60 N
Well, you gave us the formula to calculate power from work and time,
but you didn't give us the formula for work. We have to know that.
Work = (force) x (distance)
The work to raise Sara to the top of the hill is
Work = (300 N) x (15 meters)
= 4,500 newton-meters = 4,500 joules .
Now we're ready to use the formula that you gave us. (Thank you.)
Power = (work) / (time)
= (4,500 joules) / (10 seconds)
450 joules/second = 450 watts.
Answer:
53.64 m/s
Explanation:
Applying,
a = (v-u)/t............. Equation 1
Where a = acceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.
make u the subject of the equation
u = v-at............. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: a = -12 mph/s = -5.364 m/s², t = 10 seconds, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop)
Substitute these values into equation 2
u = 0-(-5.364×10)
u = 0+53.64
u = 53.64 m/s
