Can anyone please help me with answering this question? : An accelerating (speeding up) body has a Net Force acting in the direc

tion of motion. True or False? Why? ​

That's true.

Netwon's second law states that the resultant of the forces F acting on a body is equal to the product between its mass m and its acceleration a:
\sum F = ma
This means that if the net force acting on an object is different from zero (term on the left), than the acceleration of the object (term on the right) must be different from zero as well, and therefore the body is accelerating.

In particular, both F and a in the equation are vectors: this means that if the acceleration is positive, F and a have the same direction. In this problem, the acceleration is positive (because the object is speeding up), therefore the force and the acceleration have same direction.

For a projectile launched horizontally, which of the following best describes the downward component of a projectile's velocity?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

v=u+at

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 downward is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

So the equation becomes

v=gt

This means that

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Because every second, it increases by 9.8 m/s in the downward direction.

An airplane cruises at 900 km/h relative to the air. It is flying from Denver, Colorado, due west to Reno, Nevada, a distance of
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

26.5 minutes

Explanation:

When the airplane is flying due West from Denver to Reno, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would reduce the ground speed by 80 km/h.

Its Denver to Reno ground speed is 900 - 80 = 720 km/h

The time it takes to cover 1200km at this speed is 1200 / 720 = 1.67 hours

On the other hand, when it returns from Reno to Denver in the due-East direction, the due-East wind with speed of 80km/h would add to the ground speed by 80 km/h

Its Reno to Denver ground speed is 900 + 80 = 980 km/h

The time it takes to cover 1200 km at this speed is 1200 / 980 = 1.22 hours

The difference it flight time would be 1.67 - 1.22 = 0.44 hours or 26.5 minutes

You stand on a frictionless platform that is rotating with an angular speed of 5.1 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you ho
timurjin [86]

Answer:

\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

angular speed of rotation of friction-less platform, \omega=5.1\ rev.s^{-1}

moment of inertia with extended weight, I=9.9\ kg.m^2

moment of inertia with contracted weight, I'=2.6\ kg.m^2

<u>Now we use the law of conservation of angular momentum:</u>

I.\omega=I'.\omega'

9.9\times 5.1=2.6\times \omega'

\omega'=19.419\ rev.s^{-1}

The angular speed becomes faster as the mass is contracted radially near to the axis of rotation.
