#86 can an object be moving when its acceleration is zero? can an object be accelerating when its speed is zero?

1 answer:

7 0

Yes, an object that was set in motion in the past by some force, but that is no longer being acted on by a net force, is moving but with zero acceleration, i.e. it is moving at constant velocity.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$\beta = 41.68°$

Explanation:

according to snell's law

$\frac{n_w}{n_g} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin30 }$

refractive index of water n_w is 1.33

refractive index of glass n_g is 1.5

$sin\alpha = \frac{n_w}{n_g}* sin30$

$sin\alpha = 0.443$

now applying snell's law between air and glass, so we have

$\frac{n_g}{n_a} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin\beta}$

$sin\beta = \frac{n_g}{n_a} sin\alpha$

$\beta = sin^{-1} [\frac{n_g}{n_a}*sin\alpha]$

we know that $sin\alpha = 0.443$

$\beta = 41.68°$

A student throws a rock upwards. The rock reaches a maximum height 2.4 seconds after it was released.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.

Alex17521 [72]

The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.
