One dimensional velocity is based upon a straight line. For example: You can only go forwards or backwards. You assign one direct (lets say forward) to be positive. So if you move backwards, you are technically moving in a negative direction

Imagine an object is moving in one dimension on a number line, and for this we'll say that the numbers on the line are a metre apart. If the object moves from 2 m to 7 m, the change in position is 7-2=+5 metres. But if the object moves back from 7 m to 2 m, the change in position is 2-7=-5 metres. since $velocity = \frac{change in position}{time}$ , and time is always positive, velocity will be positive in one direction and negative in the other direction.

An engineer has the task of producing an aluminum alloy with a density of 3.0 grams per cubic centimeter. She comes up with the

pochemuha

Answer:

The best option is for the following option m = 15 [g] and V = 5 [cm³]

Explanation:

We have that the density of a body is defined as the ratio of mass to volume.

$Ro =m/V$

where:

Ro = density = 3 [g/cm³]

Now we must determine the densities with each of the given values.

For m = 7 [g] and V = 2.3 [cm³]

$Ro=7/2.3\\Ro=3.04 [g/cm^{3} ]$

For m = 10 [g] and V = 7 [cm³]

$Ro=10/7\\Ro=1.42[g/cm^{3} ]\\$

For m = 15 [g] and V = 5 [cm³]

$Ro=15/5\\Ro=3[g/cm^{3} ]\\$

For m = 21 [g] and V = 8 [cm³]

$Ro=21/8\\Ro=2.625[g/cm^{3} ]\\$

What is the value of acceleration due to gravity at the pole, equator and the centre of the earth

fgiga [73]

Answer:

In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation mean that sea-level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.

Can someone awnser this

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The force of gravity exerts a downward force. The floor exerts an upward force. Since these two forces are of equal magnitude and in opposite directions, they balance each other.

Freezing Point Depression: Can someone explain this formula to me? ΔTf = Kfcm

Leya [2.2K]

If the solution is treated as an ideal solution, the extent of freezing point depression depends only on the solute concentration that can be estimated by a simple linear relationship with the cryoscopic constant: ΔTF = KF · m · i ΔTF, the freezing point depression, is defined as TF (pure solvent) - TF (solution). KF, the cryoscopic constant, which is dependent on the properties of the solvent, not the solute. Note: When conducting experiments, a higher KF value makes it easier to observe larger drops in the freezing point. For water, KF = 1.853 K·kg/mol.[1] m is the molality (mol solute per kg of solvent) i is the van 't Hoff factor (number of solute particles per mol, e.g. i = 2 for NaCl).

A stone is dropped from a cliff. What will be its speed when it was fallen 100 m?

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

final velocity will be44.72m/s

Explanation:

HEIGHT=h=100m

vi=0m/s

vf=?

g=10m/s²

by using third equation of motion for bodies under gravity

2gh=(vf)²-(vi)²

evaluating the formula

2(10m/s²)(100m)=vf²-(0m/s)²

2000m²/s²=vf²

√2000m²/s²=√vf²

44.72m/s=vf
