Explain a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesn’t change.

1 answer:

4 0

"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up. It also doesn't mean
slowing down. Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.

The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.

Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.

A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):

-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) Her feet are in the air for 0.73+0.41 = 1.14 seconds

b) Her highest height above the board is 0.82 m

c) Her velocity when her feet hit the water is 7.16 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.41\ s$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4\times 0.41+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 0.41^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.82\ m$

b) Her highest height above the board is 0.82 m

Total height she would fall is 0.82+1.8 = 2.62 m

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.62=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.62\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.73\ s$

a) Her feet are in the air for 0.73+0.41 = 1.14 seconds

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 0.73\\\Rightarrow v=7.16\ m/s$

c) Her velocity when her feet hit the water is 7.16 m/s

What distance does a police car travel if it is going 3.0 m/s for 20 seconds

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

60 meters

Explanation:

If you are going 3 meters in a second, and you are traveling for 20 seconds, you have to multiply

3meters/second*20seconds

cross out the seconds and you have

3 meters*20

60 meters

In comparison with other ocean basins, major sedimentary features such as continental rises and abyssal plains are relatively ra

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Why are continental rises and abyssal plains relatively rare in the Pacific? This is because the extensive system of trenches along the active margins of the Pacific, trap much of the sediments flowing off the continents, preventing them from building the broad, flat abyssal plains typical of the Atlantic ocean basins.
