Suppose a car is traveling in the negative x-direction and comes to a stop. What is the sign of that car’s acceleration? How do

you know?

Oduvanchick [21]3 years ago

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, and t = time

In this case car is travelling in -x direction

Velocity of car = displacement / time

Since displacement value is increasing in negative x axis it's initial velocity is negative

And it's final velocity is zero since it comes to rest, and time is also positive

So, v= u+ at => 0 = -u + at

   So, a = u/t

Which is positive and along positive X - direction

solmaris [256]

Answer:

4.384 * 10^13

Explanation:

Given the expression :

[(6.67 * 10^-11) * (1.99 * 10^30)] ÷ [(1.74*10^3)*(1.74*10^3)]

Applying the laws of indices

[(6.67 * 1.99) *10^(-11 + 30)] ÷ [(1.74 * 1.74) * 10^3+3]

13.2733 * 10^19 ÷ 3.0276 * 10^6

(13.2733 / 3.0276) * 10^(19 - 6)

4.3840996 * 10^13

= 4.384 * 10^13

A centrifuge in a medical research laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,650 rev/min. When switched off, it rotates 46.0 t
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The constant angular acceleration of the centrifuge = -252.84 rad/s²

Explanation:

We will be using the equations of motion for this calculation.

Although, the parameters of this equation of motion will be composed of the angular form of the normal parameters.

First of, we write the given parameters.

w₀ = initial angular velocity = 2πf₀

f₀ = 3650 rev/min = (3650/60) rev/s = 60.83 rev/s

w₀ = 2πf₀ = 2π × 60.83 = 382.38 rad/s

θ = 46 revs = 46 × 2π = 289.14 rad

w = final angular velocity = 0 rad/s (since the centrifuge come rest at the end)

α = ?

Just like v² = u² + 2ay

w² = w₀² + 2αθ

0 = 382.38² + [2α × (289.14)]

578.29α = -146,214.4644

α = (-146,214.4644/578.29)

α = - 252.84 rad/s²

Hope this Helps!!!

Can an object in motion ever change directions?
choli [55]

Answer:

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity.

2. It is now 10:29 a.m., but when the bell rings at 10:30 a.m. Suzette will be late for French class for the third time this wee
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

  • 62 seconds
  • no

Explanation:

The total travel time Suzette experiences is the sum of the times in each hallway. Using

  time = distance/speed

we can add the times.

  (35.0 m)/(3.50 m/s) +(48.0 m)/(1.20 m/s) +(60 m)/(5.0 m/s)

  = 10 s + 40 s + 12 s

  = 62 s

It takes Suzette 62 seconds to get to class. She does not beat the bell.
