How do I figure out if the acceleration is negative, positive or zero ?

Physics
1 answer:
Licemer1 [7]3 years ago

Use acceleration = Final Velocity - Initial Velocity.  So for the first one:
1.6m/s - 3.6m/s = -2.6m/s.  This means the velocity changed by a negative amount so the acceleration is negative.

A person is standing on an elevator initially at rest at the first floor of a high building. The elevator then begins to ascend
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The found acceleration in terms of h and t is:

a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}

Explanation:

(The complete question is given in the attached picture. We need to find the acceleration in terms of h and t in this question)

We are given 3 stages of movement of elevator. We'll first model them each of the stage one by one to find the height covered in each stage. After that we'll find the total height covered by adding heights covered in each stage, and equate it to Total height h. From that we can find the formula for acceleration.

<h3></h3><h3>Stage 1</h3>

Constant acceleration, starts from rest.

Distance = y = \frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2

Velocity = v_1=at_1

<h3>Stage 2</h3>

Constant velocity where

Velocity = v_o=v_1=at_1

Distance =

<h3>y_2=v_2(t_2)\\\text{Where~}t_2=4t_1 ~\text{and}~ v_2=v_1=at_1\\y_2=(at_1)(4t_1)\\y_2=4a(t_1)^2\\</h3><h3 /><h3>Stage 3</h3>

Constant deceleration where

Velocity = v_0=v_1=at_1

Distance =

y_3=v_1t_3-\frac{1}{2}a(t_3)^2\\\text{Where}~t_3=t_1\\y_3=v_1t_1-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Where}~ v_1t_1=a(t_1)^2\\y_3=a(t_1)^2-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Subtracting both terms:}\\y_3=\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2

<h3>Total Height</h3>

Total height = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

Total height = \frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2+4a(t_1)^2+\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2 = 5a(t_1)^2

<h3 /><h3>Acceleration</h3>

Find acceleration by rearranging the found equation of total height.

Total Height = h

h = 5a(t₁)²

a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}

El concepto cosmológico abarca todo lo relativo a la cosmología y, al unir este término con la metafísica sería posible una corr
Solnce55 [7]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

No incluyes opciones, incisos, o alguna referencia específica para responder esta pregunta.

De ahí que responderemos en términos generales basándonos en nuestro conocimiento previo.

El concepto cosmológico abarca todo lo relativo a la cosmología y, al unir este término con la metafísica sería posible una correcta asociación la cual sería benéfica para ambos campos de conocimiento porque de esta manera se estarían complementando y enriqueciendo el uno al otro.

Cuando la ciencia -en este caso, la cosmología- acepte los conceptos metafísico que no tienen un sustento científico pero que sí contemplan alternativas en el mundo espiritual que son aceptadas por una innumerable cantidad de personas, entonces los expertos podrán plantear nuevas y diferentes posibilidades de entender los fenómenos que al día de hoy, carecen de una convincente explicación.

Tanto la cosmología como la metafísica podrían mostrarse más receptivos a las aportaciones de una y la otra, con objeto de poder aumentar las posibilidades de comprender un fenómeno. No necesariamente debe haber una teoría científica para poder avanzar en el conocimiento de algún tema. De ahí que las aportaciones metafísicas sean válidas como una alternativa de investigación.

A stone is launched from the ground, at a 70° angle, with an initial velocity of 120 m/s.
zavuch27 [327]
<span>A) x = 41t
    The classic equation for distance is velocity multiplied by time. And unfortunately, all of your available options have the form of that equation. In fact, the only difference between any of the equations is what looks to be velocity. And in order to solve the problem initially, you need to divide the velocity vector into a vertical velocity vector and a horizontal velocity vector. And the horizontal velocity vector is simply the cosine of the angle multiplied by the total velocity. So H = 120*cos(70) = 120*0.34202 = 41.04242 So the horizontal velocity is about 41 m/s. Looking at the available options, only "A" even comes close.</span>

Which meteorites are the most useful for defining the age of the solar system? Why?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

meteorite is a piece of interplanetary debris that lives its fiery drops during a through the earth's atmosphere and strikes the surface of the earth.

Explanation:

the meteorites which are most useful for the determination of the age of the solar system are the primitive meteorites. they consist light of colored or grey silicates mixed with metallic grains. the parent bodies of these meteorites are also mostly believed to be pieces asteriods left after they formed in the solar system.

Which of the following best describes what alveolar are
Zolol [24]
Alveoli are tiny balloon shaped structures and are the smallest passageway in the respiratory system. The alveoli are only one cell thick, allowing the relatively easy passage of oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the alveoli and blood vessels called capillaries.
