Acceleration does NOT mean speeding up. It means any change in the speed or direction of motion.

Speeding up, slowing down, and moving along a curve are all "acceleration".

If an object's speed is constant but it's not moving in a straight line, then it's accelerating.

An alternating-current (AC) source supplies a sinusoidally varying voltage that can be described with the function v of t is equ
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

ω, the angular frequency of the source equals 377 rad/s

Explanation:

From the question, V(t) = V cosωt.

Now, ω = the angular frequency of the sinusoidal wave is given by

ω = 2πf where f = the frequency of the source = 60 Hz

So, the angular frequency of the source ,ω = 2π × the frequency of the source.

So, ω = 2πf

ω = 2π × 60 Hz

ω = 120π rad/s

ω = 376.99 rad/s

ω ≅ 377 rad/s

So, ω, the angular frequency of the source equals 377 rad/s

An alpha particle is identical to a _____.
djyliett [7]
An alpha particle is identical to a helium nucleus. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "A". In case of both the alpha particle nucleus and helium nucleus, there are two protons and two neutrons. Alpha particles are generally formed during the process of alpha decay. They can also be produced in other ways.

When you're 10 or 20 miles away from the origin of an earthquake, the P-waves get to you a little bit before the S-waves. Which
zvonat [6]

Explanation:

P, Primary, or Compressional waves travel the fastest (~6 km/sec in the upper crust). They cause the matter to oscillate forward and backward, parallel to the motion of the seismic wavefront. P waves push (compress) and pull (dilate) the rock that they pass through.

A box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of friction between the box and the surface is 0.32. (3 marks) a. When the t
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

here friction force will accelerate the box in forward direction

Part b)

a = 3.14 m/s/s

Explanation:

Part a)

When truck accelerates forward direction then the box placed on the truck will also move with the truck in same direction

Here if they both moves together with same acceleration then the force on the box is due to friction force between the box and the surface of the truck

So here friction force will accelerate the box in forward direction

Part b)

The maximum value of friction force on the box is known as limiting friction

it is given by the formula

F = \mu mg

so we have

F = ma = \mu mg

now the acceleration is given as

a = \mu g

a = (0.32)(9.8) = 3.14 m/s^2
