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

Toon Train is traveling at the speed of 10 m/s at the top of a hill. Five seconds later it reaches the bottom of the hill and is
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

the rate of acceleration of the train is 4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the train, u = 10 m/s

change in time of motion, dt = 5 s

final velocity of the train, v = 30 m/s

The rate of acceleration of the train is calculated as;

a = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{v-u}{dt} = \frac{30-10}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the rate of acceleration of the train is 4 m/s²

If no friction acts on a diver during a dive, then which of the following statements is true? A) The total mechanical energy of
EleoNora [17]
If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.

Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).

The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE  = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.
 
Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂

Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
     FALSE

B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
     TRUE

C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
     TRUE

D) All of the above.
     FALSE

You are driving on the highway, and you come to a steep downhill section. As you roll down the hill, you take your foot off the
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Weight of the car, normal force, drag force

Explanation:

The forces acting on the car are:

  • The normal force which acts perpendicularly to the downhill plane
  • The weight of the car which acts vertically downwards
  • The drag force due to air resistance which acts in opposition to the motion of the car

Friction is ignored, so the force due to friction is assumed negligible
