When a car's velocity is positive and its acceleration is negative, what is happening to the car's motion?

Answer:

Assuming rightward is positive, the velocity is positive whenever the car is moving to the right, and the velocity is negative whenever the car is moving to the left. The acceleration points in the same direction as the velocity if the car is speeding up, and in the opposite direction if the car is slowing down.

A slab of glass has a 0.600 cm thick layer of water on top of it. A light ray strikes the water at an incident angle of 59.0°. A

Dimas [21]

Answer:

49.63 degree

Explanation:

thickness of glass slab, t = 0.6 cm

angle of incidence = 59 degree

Let r be the angle of refraction

The refractive index of glass, ng = 3/2

refractive index of water, nw = 4/3

refarctive index of glass with respect to water = ng / nw = 3 /2 ÷ 4 /3 = 9 / 8

So, by use of Snell's law

Refractive index of glass with respect to water = Sin i / Sin r

9 / 8 = Sin 59 / Sin r

9 / 8 = 0.857 / Sin r

Sin r = 0.7619

r = 49.63 degree

The maximum force that a grocery bag can withstand without ripping is 250 n. Suppose that the bag is filled with 20 kg of grocer

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Groceries stay in the bag.

Explanation:

Given:

Maximum force = 250 N

Bag filled with = 20 kg

Lifted acceleration = $5.0\ m/s^2$

Solution:

We need to calculate the exerted force on the grocery bag by using Newton's second law.

$F = ma$

Where:

F = Exerted force on the object.

m = Mass of the object in kg

a = Acceleration of the object in $m/s^2$

Now, we substitute m = 20 kg and a = $5.0\ m/s^2$ in Newton's second law,

$F = 20\times 5.0$

$F = 100\ m/s^2$

Since, the exerted force on the bag is less than 250 N, the groceries will stay in the bag.

Wilma can mow a lawn in 80 minutes. Rocky can mow the same lawn in 120 minutes. Construct an equation that would allow you to de

xeze [42]

Answer:

$t = 96 minutes$

Explanation:

Time to mow 1 lawn by Wilma is 80 minutes

so work done in 1 minute by Wilma is given as

$W_1 = \frac{1}{80}$

Similarly Rocky mow same lawn in 120 minute

so work done in 1 minute by Rocky is given as

$W_2 = \frac{1}{120}$

now we know that they both worked by "t" time

so total work performed by them

$W = \frac{t}{80} + \frac{t}{120}$

they both mow 2 lawns then it is given as

$2 = (\frac{1}{80} + \frac{1}{120})t$

$t = 96 minutes$

A 100 N force is applied to a 500 kg crate resting on frictionless wheels.

Alla [95]

Answer:

<h2>0.2 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{100}{500} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
