Since it starts from rest, the initial velocity is 0 m/s. final velocity is 20 m/s. 
a=Vfinal-Vinitial/t
a=20m/s-0m/s/5s
a=4 m/s^2

If you lived on Saturn, which planets would exhibit retrograde motion like that observed for Mars from Earth? (Select all that a
liberstina [14]

Answer:

a) Earth

b) Mercury

c) Neptune

Explanation:

All the planets move around the sun in eastward direction, but few planet have retrograde rotation i.e in westward direction. Retrograde motion is just an apparent change in the movement of planet which means it only seems as if the planet are rotating in opposite direction. Retrograde movement of planet like  Saturn, Jupiter and mars is not real. Hence, if a person lives on Saturn, then following planets will exhibit retrograde motion  

a) Earth

b) Mercury

c) Neptune

Determine the maximum weight of the bucket that the wire system can support so that no single wire develops a tension exceeding
stellarik [79]
Let there be N number of wires.

Maximum tension a wire can withstand = 100 lb

so, Total tension N wires can withstand =  100 N

now, total tension in N wires = Maximum weight of bucket

100 N  = W

so, W = 100N

W is the weight of bucket and 100N is its maximum value.

You have two lightweight metal spheres, each hanging from an insulating nylon thread. One of the spheres has a net negative char
kkurt [141]

Answer:attract each other

Explanation:

When two-sphere, one with a negative charge and another neutral is brought close together but do not touch then they try to attract each other.

This because of the polarization of the neutral sphere as it is placed in the vicinity of a negatively charged sphere. The negatively charged sphere will induce the positive charge in the neutral sphere and they will attract each other according to Columb law.

the distance between the sun and earth is about 1.5X10^11 m. express this distance with an SI prefix and kilometers
Angelina_Jolie [31]
First, we write the SI prefixed. The SI unit for distance is meters.

Kilo = 10³
Mega = 10⁶
Giga = 10⁹
Terra = 10¹²

Because our value has ten to the power of 11, we will use the closest and lowest power prefix, which is giga. 

1.5 x 10¹¹ /  10⁹
= 1.5 x 10² Gm or 150 Gm

Writing in kilometers, we simply repeat the procedure except we divide by 10³ this time.

1.5 x 10¹¹ / 10³
= 1.5 x 10⁸ km

A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm
