Answer:

only one: a sky diver falling at a constant speed

Explanation:

Let's recall that acceleration is a change in velocity, which means either a change in the speed of an object or a change in its direction.

let's now analyze each situation:

- a race car going around a circular track at 150 mph --> here the direction of motion is changing, so the object is accelerating

a sky diver falling at a constant speed --> here both the speed and the direction are constant, so the object is NOT accelerating

- a heavy box sliding across the floor, after being released  --> here the speed is changing (In particular, it will decrease, as the friction will slow down the box), so the object is accelerating

- a bowling ball colliding with a pin --> here the speed is changing (when the ball colides with the pin, it slows down), so the object is accelerating

- a vibrating guitar string --> the speed of the vibrating string changes during the vibration (and the direction as well), so the object is accelerating

- a baseball flying through the air --> the speed of the baseball is changing (because there are unbalanced forces acting on the flying ball: the gravity and the air resistance), so the object is accelerating

- a child swinging on a swing --> the speed of the child is changing (and the direction as well) during the oscillation, so the object is accelerating


So, there is only 1 situation in which objects are NOT accelerating:

a sky diver falling at a constant speed

An 85-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (4km above the ground ) what is the potential energy
Airida [17]
Potential energy can be calculated using the following rule:
potential energy = mgh where:
m is the mass = 85 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
h is the height = 4 km = 4000 meters

Substitute in the above equation to get the potential energy as follows:
Potential energy = 85*9.8*4000 = 3332000 joules

What is the acceleration of a Ford Mustang GT that can go from 0.00 to 27.8<br> m/s in 5.15 seconds?
bixtya [17]
Finding acceleration= final speed-initial speed/time taken (or A=V-U\T)

Finial speed= 27.8s
Initial speed= 0s
Time taken= 5.15

So..

27.8-0/5.15= 5.40m/s (rounded to two decimal places)

Cual es el deporte que le da fortaleza y flexibilidad al cuerpo
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Aesthetic sports

Explanation:

Aesthetic sports are the one's that need well-developed physical qualities such as strength, agility, stamina, flexibility, and technical knowledge and artistry, in addition to technical ability and artistry. Elite athletes in these sports generally have a low abdominal fat , and the ranking is subjective.

In aesthetic sports like gymnastics, swimming, and figure skaters, dynamic and proactive flexibility is required.

What effect would this have on the momentum?
Mariana [72]
Momentum describes an object in motion and is determined by the product of two variables: mass and velocity. Mass -- the weight of an object -- is usually measured in kilograms or grams for momentum problems. Velocity is the measure of distance traveled over time and is normally reported in meters per second. Examining the possible changes in these two variables identifies the different effects momentum can have on an object in motion.
