Over a time interval of 2.04 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star reverses direction, changing from +18.2 km/s to -22.9 km/s. find (a) the total change in the planet's velocity (in m/s) and (b) its average acceleration (in m/s2) during this interval. include the correct algebraic sign with your answers to convey the directions of the velocity and the acceleration.

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c.m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?
