Calculate the acceleration of a bus whose speed changes from 7 m/s to 16 m/s over a period of 5 s.

1 answer:

7 0

Let’s do this together!

Okay so the acceleration formula is vf-vi over time .

So the initial velocity (vi) 7m/s final velocity (vf) is 16m/s so we’re going to subtract 16-7 which is 9
M/s

So the time is 5s so 9m/s divided into 5s is 1.8m/s/2

So the answer is 1.8m\s2

A child uses a rubber band to launch a bottle cap at an angle of 37.0° above the horizontal. The cap travels a horizontal distan

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec

Explanation:

Let the initial speed = u

Angle at which rubber band is launched = 37°

Horizontal component of initial velocity $u_x=ucos\Theta =ucos37^{\circ}=0.7986u$

Time is given as t = 1.20 sec

Distance in horizontal direction = 1.30 m

We know that distance = speed × time

So time $t=\frac{distance}{speed}$

$1.20=\frac{1.3}{0.7986u}$

$u=1.356m/sec$

So initial velocity will be 1.356 m/sec

Suppose that a comet that was seen in 563 A.D. by Chinese astronomers was spotted again in year 1951. Assume the time between ob

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

$a=2.77*10^{13}m$

$R_a=5.49*10^{13}m$

Explanation:

The period of the comet is the time it takes to do a complete orbit:

T=1951-(-563)=2514 years

writen in seconds:

$2514years*\frac{3,154*10^7s}{1year}=7.93 *10^{10}s$

Since the eccentricity is greater than 0 but lower than 1 you can know that the trajectory is an ellipse.

Therefore, if the mass of the sun is aprox. 1.99e30 kg, and you assume it to be much larger than the mass of the comet, you can use Kepler's law of periods to calculate the semimajor axis:

$T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{Gm_{sun}}a^3\\ a=\sqrt[3]{\frac{Gm_{sun}T^2}{4\pi^2} } \\a=1.50*10^{6}m$

Then, using the law of orbits, you can calculate the greatest distance from the sun, which is called aphelion:

$R_a=a(1+e)\\R_a=2.77*10^{13}(1.986)\\R_a=5.49*10^{13}m$
