Hi there!

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = Δv/Δt

Thus:

a = (75 - 15)/4 = 60/4 = 15 mi/hr²

Equation you need to use is a=Vf-Vi/t
Vi=initial velocity
Vf= Final Velocity
Write out the variables and their numbers
Vf=75 mi/hr Vi=15 mi/hr t=4 seconds
Plug it all in
75-15/4
60/4
a=15 mi/hr^2

Answer:

Failure rate = 20%

MTBF = 880 hours

Explanation:

given data

batteries = 10

tested = 200 hours

one failed = 20 hours

another fail at = 140 hours

solution

we know that Mean Time between Failures is express as = (Total up time) ÷ (number of breakdowns) ....................1

so here Total up time will be

Total up time = 200 × 10

Total up time = 2000

and here

Number of breakdown = 1 at 20 hour and another at 140 hour = 2

so it will be = (Total up time) ÷ (number of breakdowns) .......2

= $\frac{2000}{2}$ = 1000

so here gap between occurrences is

gap between occurrences= 140 - 20

gap between occurrences = 120 hour

and

MTBF will be

MTBF = 1000 - 120

MTBF = 880 hours

and

Failure rate (FR) will be

Failure rate (FR) = 1 ÷ MTBF ................3

Failure rate (FR) = R÷T ......................4

as here R is the number of failures and T is total time

so Failure rate (FR) = 20%

Answer: 3.5 seconds

EXPLANATION:

Using the formula:
v = u + at
And taking the upwards direction as positive, we have the following information:

u = 35 m/s
a = -10m/s^2 (this is acceleration due to gravity)

At the top of its path, the apple will have a velocity of 0 m/s, therefore:

v = 0m/s

Once you substitute everything into the formula, you get:

0 = 35 + (-10)t

Therefore, t = 35/10 = 3.5 seconds

At what distance from Earth does the force of gravity exerted by Earth on the coasting spacecraft cancel the force of gravity ex

telo118 [61]

Answer:

346 * 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The force of gravity of the earth that will cancel the the force of gravity exerted by the moon will be equal to each other

Let $F_{e}$ be the force of gravity exerted by the earth

and let $F_{m}$ be the force of gravity exerted by the moon

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force of attraction between two different masses, m₁ and m₂ separated by a distance, d, is given by:

$F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }$

Mass of the earth, $m_{e} = 5.97 * 10^{24} kg$

Mass of the moon, $m_{m} = 7.348 * 10^{22} kg$

Mass of the satellite, $m_{s} = ?$

$F_{e} = \frac{G*5.97 * 10^{24} M }{d^{2} }$ ...............................(1)

The earth and the moon are separated by a distance, 3.844 * 10⁸ m

$F_{m} = \frac{G*7.348 * 10^{22} M }{(3.844 * 10^{8} - d) ^{2} }$ ............................(2)

Equating equations (1) and (2)

$\frac{5.97 * 10^{24} }{d^{2} } = \frac{7.348 * 10^{24} }{(3.844* 10^{8} -d)^{2} }$

$(5.97 * 10^{24})(14.78 * 10^{16} -7.688*10^{8}d + d^{2}) = 7.348 * 10^{24} d^{2} \\88.24*10^{40} - 45.9 * 10^{32}d + 5.97 * 10^{24}d^{2} = 7.348 * 10^{24} d^{2}\\ 1.378 * 10^{24}d^{2} + 45.9 * 10^{32}d + 88.24*10^{40} = 0\\$

Factorising out $10^{24}$

$1.378d^{2} + 45.9 * 10^{8}d + 88.24*10^{16} = 0$

Solving for d in the quadratic equation above:

d = 346 * 10⁶ m
