1 G is not a velocity. (actually G is not a unit or constant at all, g is the gravitational attraction at sea level on Earth). With an acelleration of one g (lets use 10m/s2 for easier calculations, it's actually almost 2% less) the distance to Pluto (average 5913520000 km) would be covered by computing:
s = 1/2 at2(given starting from rest) Where:
s is the distance
a is the acceleration
t is the time
Solving for t we get:
t = SQRT (2*s/a)
So The square root of 2*5913520000000/10 or 1087522 seconds
About 12 days and 14 hours, not all that long eh?
The problem is getting that acceleration to last that long...
The slope of a time-distance chart would be a constant. The slope of a time-velocity chart would be 0.
The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is 4.4 billion kilometers, which means that light from the Sun always takes longer than 4 hours to reach Pluto. For a rocket vehicle travelling at the speed that astronauts went to our Moon (less than 40,000 km/hr), it would take over 12 years to reach Pluto!
On January 19, 2006 a space probe was launched and sent to Pluto. It was expected to reach Pluto in 2015. So it would take about 9 years to get to Pluto.
450 years.
Ahorizontal line on a velocity vs time graph does not indicate any acceleration because there is no slope. Speed remains constant.
The slope of a time-distance chart would be a constant. The slope of a time-velocity chart would be 0.
In a theoretical scenario with constant velocity, the true acceleration would typically be zero.
the speed would have to change.
The acceleration would be zero because the turtle is moving at a constant speed
No. The definition of acceleration is change in velocity.
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
In order for an object to travel with constant velocity the sum of forces acting on it must be zero
No, in the physical world nothing can reach an infinite speed, as it would gain infinite mass which is not possible. In Math, you could have the velocity equal infinity for theoretical purposes, but the constant C, the speed of light, would be a better choice.
It seems like you need to put more info into the question. Just think if you're talking about cars, if they were all a constant speed, the word overtaking would never need to exist
A graph of uniform velocity would be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating that the object is moving at a constant speed in a straight line without changing its velocity.
The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is 4.4 billion kilometers, which means that light from the Sun always takes longer than 4 hours to reach Pluto. For a rocket vehicle travelling at the speed that astronauts went to our Moon (less than 40,000 km/hr), it would take over 12 years to reach Pluto!
Light years.
