If your speed changes from 10 km/h to 6 km/h, you have a(n) ______ acceleration.

2 answers:

8 0

If your speed changes from 10 km/h to 6 km/h then
you have an acceleration.

Whether it's a positive or negative one completely depends
on which direction you decided to call the positive direction,
when you started considering your speed and its changes.

If you decided to call the direction in which you're traveling
the positive direction, then a decrease in your speed is a
negative acceleration.

But you could just as easily have said that you're traveling
in the negative direction. If you did that, then a decrease in
your speed would be a positive acceleration.

It's completely up to you, and how you define things.

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco

Reika [66]

Answer:

$t=750s$

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

$\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt$

$x_f$ is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

$x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0$

We have $x_f_1=x_f_2$ . Thus, solving for t:

$x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s$

What is the density of a piece of wood with a mass of 25 kg<br> and a volume of 0.0385 m³?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

649kg/m^3

Explanation:

Let p be the density of this particular object.

Formula for density:

$p = \frac{mass \: (in \: kg)}{volume \: (in \: {m}^{3}) }$

We can substitute the givenmass and volume to find density of the object.

$p = \frac{25kg}{0.0385 {m}^{3} } \\ = 649kg \: per \: {m}^{3}$

Therefore the density of this object is 649kg/m^3.

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?

Elina [12.6K]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to $9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

$KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}$

Where:

$m=mass\\v=velocity$

Have a nice day!
