Acceleration involves a change in __________.

Physics
2 answers:
uysha [10]3 years ago
7 0

"Acceleration" is any change in speed or direction of motion ...
slowing down, speeding up, or curving away from a straight line.

You and I, and all other students of Physics, must re-educate
people.  We have to tell everyone that 'acceleration' does NOT
mean 'speeding up'.  AND, it doesn't even necessarily mean
any change in speed.

Newtons first law 1 to 5. <br>What is each of the net force for all of the 5 questions? ​
erica [24]

Answer:

1. 65 N.

2. 160 N.

3. 0 N.

4. 210 N.

5. 90 N.

Explanation:

1. Determination of the net force.

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 80 N

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 145 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 145 – 80

Fₙ = 65 N

Thus, the net force is 65 N

2. Determination of the net force.

Force 1 applied to the left (F₁) = 35 N

Force 2 applied to the left (F₂) = 125 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = F₁ + F₂

Fₙ = 35 + 125

Fₙ = 160 N

Thus, the net force is 160 N.

3. Determination of the net force.

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 75 N

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 75 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 75 – 75

Fₙ = 0

Thus, the net force is 0 N

4. Determination of the net force.

Force 1 applied to the right (F₁) = 150 N

Force 2 applied to the right (F₂) = 60 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = F₁ + F₂

Fₙ = 150 + 60

Fₙ = 210 N

Thus, the net force is 210 N.

5. Determination of the net force.

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 115 N

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 25 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fᵣ – Fₗ

Fₙ = 115 – 25

Fₙ = 90 N

Thus, the net force is 90 N

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

  • If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

       \Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m

  • If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

        l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m

  • The length of the lake is 499 m.

Determine the value of the resultant and its location from O.<br>see attach image.​
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the x direction the force will be

½(-w₀)L/2 = -¼w₀L  

acting ⅔(L/2) = L/3 below the x axis.

In the y direction the force will be

½(-w₀)L + ½w₀L/2 = -¼w₀L  

the magnitude of the resultant will be

F = w₀L  √((-¼)² + (-¼)²) = w₀L√⅛

in the direction

θ = arctan(-¼w₀L / -¼w₀L) = 225°

to find the distance, we balance moments

(w₀L√⅛)[d] = ½(w₀)L[⅔L] + ¼w₀L[⅔L/2] - ¼w₀L[L - ⅓L/2]

     (√⅛)[d] = ½         [⅔L] + ¼      [⅔L/2] - ¼      [L - ⅓L/2]

     (√⅛)[d] = ½[⅔L] + ¼[⅔L/2] - ¼[L - ⅓L/2]

     (√⅛)[d] =      ⅓L  +    ⅟₁₂L     -  ¼L + ⅟₂₄L  

     (√⅛)[d] = 5L/24

               d = 5L/24 / (√⅛)

               d = 5√⅛L/3
