Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.
atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

  • 1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

  • \boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

  • m = 0.3 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h = 15 m
  • PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is <u>44.1 Joules.</u>

Greetings.

A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow  \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Two charges separated by 1 m exert 1 N forces on each other. If the charges are pushed to 1/4m separation, the force on each cha
Sloan [31]

Answer:

<em>The force on each charge = 16 N</em>

Explanation:

From coulombs law,

F = 1/4πε₀(q₁q₂)/d²........................ Equation 1

q₁q₂ = F4πε₀d²...................... Equation 2

Where F = force on the two charges, q₁ = charge on the first body, q₂ = charge on the second body, d = distance of separation, 1/4πε₀ = constant of proportionality.

<em>When d = 1 m, F = 1 N,</em>

<em>Constant: 1/4πε₀ = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2,</em>

<em>q₁q₂ = 1×1²/9×10⁹ </em>

<em>q₁q₂ = 1/9×10⁹  C²</em>

<em>When d = 1/4 m, q₁q₂ = 1/9×10⁹  C² and 1/4πε₀ = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>F =  9×10⁹×1/9×10⁹ /(1/4)²</em>

<em>F = 1/(1/16)</em>

<em>F = 16 N</em>

<em>Therefore the force on each charge = 16 N</em>

lesantik [10]
To solve this, we use the Wien's Displacement Law as shown in the attached picture. First, convert the temperature to Kelvin. 

C to F:
C = (F - 32)*5/9
C = (325 - 32)*5/9 = 162.78 °C

C to K:
K = C + 273
K = 162.78 + 273 = 435.78 K

λmax = 2898/435.78 = <em>6</em><em>.65 μm</em>
