True. Force is acceleration therefor inverse force is increasing acceleration
B. only its velocity should change
The answer is option A.
Centripetal force is always directed towards the centre and does not change the speed of the body,but there is a change in the direction.
Answer:
The magnitude of the acceleration is 1.2 × 10⁴ mi/h²
Explanation:
Hi there!
The acceleration is defined as the change in velocity in a time:
a = Δv / Δt
Where:
a = acceleration.
Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity.
Δt = elapsed time.
In this case:
Initial velocity = 60 mi/h
final velocity = 50 mi/h
elapsed time = 3.0 s
Let´s convert the time unit into h:
3.0 s · 1 h /3600 s = 1/1200 h
Now, let´s calculate the acceleration:
a = Δv / Δt
a = (50 mi/h - 60 mi/h) / 1/1200 h
a = -1.2 × 10⁴ mi/h²
The magnitude of the acceleration is 1.2 × 10⁴ mi/h²
