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

What is the energy level of hydrogen?

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

Explanation:

A scientist known as Niels Bohr put forward that electrons in an atom covers some permitted orbitals with a specific energy. In other words, the energy of an electron in an atom is not continuous, but 'quantized.' The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

$E = -\frac{E_0}{n^2} \\where \\E_0 = 13.6 eV (1 eV = 1.602\times 10^{-19}Joules)\\and\ n = 1,2,3...$

The current in the wires of a circuit is 180.0 milliamps. If the resistance of the circuit were doubled ( with no change in volt

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

I = 0.09[amp] or 90 [milliamps]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the voltage by the current.

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

Now, we replace the values of the first current into the equation

V = 180*10^-3 * R

V = 0.18*R (1)

Then we have that the resistance is doubled so we have this new equation:

V = I*(2R) (2)

The voltage remains constant therefore 1 and 2 are equals and we can obtain the current value.

V = V

0.18*R = I*2*R

I = 0.09[amp] or 90 [milliamps]

8. An effort force of 15 Newtons is applied to an ideal pulley system to lift up a 16 Newton object. If the effort force is exer

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

$M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m$

Therefore, the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.
