Acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

                            =         (3 m/s)           -       (8 m/s)

                            =                      -5 m/s .

Time for the change  =  1 minuet = 2 sonatas = 60 seconds

Acceleration  =  (-5 m/s) / (60 seconds)

                      =     - 1/12  m/s²

                      =      0.0833  m/s²

                      =        8-1/3  cm/s²

The escape speed from a very small asteroid is only 24 m/s. If you throw a rock away from the asteroid at a speed of 30 m/s, wha
svp [43]

Given Information:  

Initial speed of rock = vi = 30 m/s  

escape speed of the asteroid = ve = 24 m/s  

Required Information:  

final speed of rock = vf = ?

Answer:  

vf = 18 m/s

Explanation:  

As we know from the conservation of energy

KEf + Uf = KEi + Ui

Where KE is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy

0 + 0 = ½mve² - GMm/R

When escape speed is used, KEf is zero due to vf being zero. Uf is zero because the object is very far away from mass M, therefore, the equation becomes

GMm/R = ½mve²

m cancels out

GM/R = ½ve²

GM/R = ½(24)²

GM/R = 288

KEf + Uf = KEi + Ui

½mvi² + 0 =  ½vf² - GMm/R

m cancels out

½vi² =  ½vf² - GM/R

Substitute the values

½(30)² =  ½vf² - (288)

½vf² = 450 - 288

vf² = 2(162)

vf = √324

vf = 18 m/s

Therefore, the final speed of the rock is 18 m/s

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The force on the charge at the origin is 0 N .

Explanation:

All charges are positive. So, in x axis force exerted by the charge located in the position (10 cm, 0 cm) will be canceled with the force exerted by the charge located in the position (-10 cm, 0 cm). In the same way, in y axis the force exerted by the charge located in the position (0 cm, 10 cm) will be canceled with the force exerted by the charge located in the position (0 cm, -10 cm).

How does speed relate to motion energy?
Murljashka [212]

the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

What factors will increase the amount of energy by kinetic
marissa [1.9K]

Gravitational energy is the potential energy associated with gravitational force. If an object falls from one point to another inside a gravitational field, the force of gravity will do positive work on the object and the gravitational potential.
