How is the scientific meaning of acceleration different from how we use the term acceleration in everyday life?

Most people think that "acceleration" means "speeding up".
(Maybe you use the word that way. I don't.)
I think this comes from the gas pedal in the car being called
the "accelerator".

The real meaning of "acceleration" is: any change in motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction even if speed
doesn't change.

A 12.0N force with a fixed orientation does work on a

kvasek [131]

Answer:

(a) $\theta=62.31^{\circ}$

(b) $\theta=117.68^{\circ}$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the particle, F = 12 N

Displacement of the particle, $d=(2.00i -4.00j+3.00k)\ m$

Magnitude of displacement, $d=\sqrt{2^2+4^2+3^2}= 5.38\ m$

(a) If the change in the kinetic energy of the particle is +30 J. The work done by the particle is given by :

$W=Fd\ cos\theta$

$\theta$ is the angle between force and the displacement

According to work energy theorem, the charge in kinetic energy of the particle is equal to the work done.

So,

$cos\theta=\dfrac{W}{Fd}$

$cos\theta=\dfrac{+30\ J}{12\times 5.38}$

$\theta=62.31^{\circ}$

(b) If the change in the kinetic energy of the particle is (-30) J. The work done by the particle is given by :

$cos\theta=\dfrac{W}{Fd}$

$cos\theta=\dfrac{-30\ J}{12\times 5.38}$

$\theta=117.68^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two 20.0 g ice cubes at − 20.0 ∘ C are placed into 285 g of water at 25.0 ∘ C. Assuming no energy is transferred to or from the

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Ft = 17.48°C

Explanation:

Ft is the final temperature. However, ice absorbs heat during two process of melting and cooling and as such, there is no loss of heat to or from the surrounding hence by conservation of energy.

Therefore,

Heat absorbed by water of 20g = heat rejected by water of 265g.

So; M(ice)[C(ice) [(ΔT) + LH(ice) + C(water)(ΔT)] = C(water) M(water) (ΔT)

So, 20[(2.108) [0 - (-20)] + 333.5 + 4.187(Ft - 0)]] = (285)(4.187) (25 - Ft)

To get;

7513 + 83.74 Ft = 29832.4 - 1193.3 Ft

So factorizing, we get;

83.74 Ft + 1193.3 Ft = 29832.4 - 7513

So; 1277.04 Ft = 22319.4

So; Ft = 22319.4/1277.04 = 17.48°C
