Sure. The acceleration may be decreasing, but as long as it stays
in the same direction as the velocity, the velocity increases.
I think you meant to ask whether the body can have increasing velocity
with negative acceleration. That answer isn't simple either.
If the body's velocity is in the positive direction, then positive acceleration
means speeding up, and negative acceleration means slowing down.
BUT ... If the body's velocity is in the negative direction, then positive
acceleration means slowing down, and negative acceleration means
speeding up.
I know that's confusing.
-- Take a piece of scratch paper, write a 'plus' sign at one edge and
a 'minus' sign at the other edge. Those are the definitions of which
direction is positive and which direction is negative.
-- Then sketch some cars ... one traveling in the positive direction, and
one driving in the negative direction. Those are the directions of the
velocities.
-- Now, one car at a time:
. . . . . first push on the back of the car, in the direction it's moving;.
. . . . . then push on the front of the car, against its motion.
Each push causes the car to accelerate in the direction of the push.
When you see it on paper, all the positive and negative velocities
and accelerations will come clear for you.
Answer:
12m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Power = 6.5 x 10⁴W
Force = 5.5 x 10³N
Unknown:
The resulting velocity = ?
Solution:
The velocity of a body is related to force and power using the expression below;
Power = Force x velocity
Insert the parameters and solve for velocity
6.5 x 10⁴ = 5.5 x 10³ x velocity
velocity =
= 12m/s
The farthest position the mouse reaches inside the tunnel is 4 meters into the tunnel.
From the graph,
The positions reached after,
5 s = 4 m
10 s = 2 m
20 s = 2 m
35 s = 3 m
40 s = 0 m
So the farthest position here is 4 m into the tunnel.
The rate of change of positions is displacement. So displacement will be change in initial and final positions divided by change in time.
s = Δx / Δt
Therefore, the farthest position the mouse reaches inside the tunnel is 4 meters into the tunnel.
