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

Physics

Serga [27]3 years ago

"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 occurs when the pitch increases and the sound source is in motion? explain your answer.
Hoochie [10]
If you're listening to a sound that has a steady pitch, and suddenly the
pitch goes up, then you know that two things could have happened:

EITHER ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
raised the pitch of the sound being produced.

OR ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
started moving toward you.

OR ...

-- both.

Even if the pitch of the sound leaving the source doesn't change,
you would still hear it increase if the source starts moving toward
you.  That's the so-called "Doppler effect".

Justin depends 600watts if power pushing a car 10m in 5sec how much force did he exert
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Force exerted by Justin=300 N

Here power= 600 W

distance traveled=10 m

time=5 s

power is given by P= Work done/ time

600=work/5

so work= 60x5=3000J

now work done= force* distance

3000=F *10

F= 3000/10

F=300 N

A satellite orbiting Earth at an orbital radius r has a velocity v. Which represents the velocity
babunello [35]

Answer:

v / √5

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = acceleration due to gravity

v² / r = GM / r²

v² = GM / r

If the radius is increased to 5r:

u² = GM / (5r)

u² = v² / 5

u = v / √5

A car travels at 40 km/hr for two hours and 55 km/hr for two hours. How far does the car travel? What is the average velocity?
KiRa [710]

Driving at 40 km/h for 2 h contributes a distance of 80 km, while driving at 55 km/h for 2h contributes 110 km, giving a total of 190 km traveled. If the car is traveling in the same direction throughout this ordeal, then the average velocity is

\bar v=\dfrac{190\,\mathrm{km}}{4\,\mathrm h}=47.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm h}

Describe the working principle of a hydraulic press using pascals principle<br> ​
Fofino [41]

Answer:

A hydraulic press works on the principle of Pascal's law, which states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the pressure change occurs throughout the entire fluid. Within the hydraulic press, there is a piston that works as a pump, that provides a modest mechanical force to a small area of the sample.
