We will use the percentage difference formula and so:

\frac{|Population_{final}-Population_{initial}|}{Population_{initial}}

By plugging in our values we obtain:

\frac{321-281}{281}=0.142349

And 0.142349 converted to percentage is :

0.142349 \times 100 = 14.2349%


Therefore, there was a population increase of 14.2349% from 2000 to 2015 in the US.

A negative velocity, approaching zero, represents a negative acceleration. True or False
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Lets assume our positive direction to the right (this reasoning works for any direction). A negative velocity would then be then directed to the left. If it varies as such that it aproaches to zero, it means that the variation is directed to the right, and that is where the direction of the acceleration must be pointing. In other words, its losing its velocity, so the acceleration must point opposite to the velocity. Then it means the acceleration is positive.

What is the relationship between the speed of an object and its kinetic energy?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

For the purposes of your question, we can think of speed and velocity as being the same thing. Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If there is a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

Explain what will happen if an object has high momentum or low momentum and a force is applied?
Korvikt [17]

-- If the force is applied in the <em>same direction</em> as the object is moving, then the object's momentum in that direction will <em>increase</em>.

-- If the force is applied in the direction <em>OPPOSITE </em>to the way the object is moving, then the object's momentum will <em>decrease</em>.

-- In either case, the CHANGE in the object's momentum will be

(strength of the force) x (length of time the force is applied) .

This quantity is also called "impulse".
