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.

What is the difference between work done by the gravitational force on descending and ascending objects?
Kazeer [188]
<span>The difference between work done by the gravitational force on descending and ascending objects is that for descending objects a terminal velocity will be reached where the object will not fall any faster that it already is. For an ascending object, its velocity will come down the longer gravity has an effect on it until the object begins to descend and the velocity of an ascending object will continue to change the longer gravity has an effect on it.</span>

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow-dryer is 13 A, while that
Feliz [49]

Answer:

(a) 1560 W

(b) 576 W

(c) 1.01

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 120 V

Current in dryer, I = 13 A

current in vacuum cleaner, i' = 4.8 A

(a) Power consumed by dryer,

P = V I = 120 x 13 = 1560 W

(b) Power consumed by vacuum cleaner

P' = V I' = 120 x 4.8 = 576 W

(c) Energy consumed by dryer

E = P x t = 1560 x 15 x 60 = 1404000 J

Energy consumed by the vacuum cleaner

E' = P' x t' = 576 x 40 x 60 = 1382400 J

the ratio of energies is

E : E' = 1404000 : 1382400 = 1.01
