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 woman exerts a horizontal force of 4 pounds on a box as she pushes it up a ramp that is 10 feet long and inclined at an angle

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Explanation:

given,

Horizontal force = 4 lb

distance of push, d = 10 ft

angle of ramp, θ = 30°

Work done on the box = ?

We know,

W = F.d cos θ

W = 4 x 10 x cos 30°

W = 40 x 0.8660

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Hence, work done on the box is equal to W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Assuming a typical efficiency for energy use by the body, how many slices of pizza must you eat to walk for 2.5 h at a speed of

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

2.7 Pizzas.

Explanation:

The power required to walk through 5km in 1 hour is 380W.

A watt is basically Jules per second, then we need to standardized this measurement to second.

5km/hr is equal to,

$\frac{5km}{hr}*\frac{1hr}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=1.389m/s$

Walking by 2.5 hours is equal to a distance of,

$d=v*t=1.389*(2.5*3600) = 12500m$

The total energy required then would be,

$E = \frac{380J}{1.389m/s}(12500)=3.4199*10^6J$

Then we know that one pizza slice gives $1260*10^3J$ of energy, the total pizza needed are,

$\eta = \frac{3.4199*10^6}{1260*10^3} = 2.7142$

<em>Then you need to buy 3 pizza.</em>

You are sitting 3 m away from you friend who is watching a cartoon on his phone. How will the sound itensity change if your frie

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Decreases by $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound is defined as the energy of the sound that is flowing in an unit time through the unit area which is in the direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the sound waves movement.

The intensity of energy is described by the inverse square law. It states that the intensity varies inversely with the distance square of the distance.

In other words, the sound intensity decreases as inversely proportional to the squared of the distance. i.e. $\frac{1}{r^2}$
