a meteroid changed velocity from 10 km/s to 1.8 km/s in 0.03 seconds what is the accelaration of the meteriod'
a car going 50mph accelaerates to pass a truck. 5 seconds later the car is going 80 mph caculate teh accelaeration of the car.
the space shuttle releases a space telescpope into orbit around the earth. the telescope goes from being stationaryn to traveling at a speed of 1700 m/s in 25 seconds. what is the acceleration of the sattelite
1) To calculate the acceleration of the meteoroid, we can use the formula:
Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time
Acceleration = (1.8 km/s - 10 km/s) / 0.03s
Acceleration = (-8.2 km/s) / 0.03s
Acceleration = -273.33 km/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the meteoroid is -273.33 km/s^2.
2) To calculate the acceleration of the car, we can use the formula:
Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time
Acceleration = (80 mph - 50 mph) / 5s
Acceleration = 30 mph / 5s
Acceleration = 6 mph/s
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 6 mph/s.
3) To calculate the acceleration of the satellite, we can use the formula:
Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time
Acceleration = (1700 m/s - 0 m/s) / 25s
Acceleration = 1700 m/s / 25s
Acceleration = 68 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the satellite is 68 m/s^2.
