The speed is changing its direction all the time. There
is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called
centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no
acceleration.
This is the general formula for acceleration
a = dv/dt
When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change
in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt
tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference
between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity
(the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).
There is a formula (which can be deducted from the
previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:
a = v^2/r
Let’s talk about the units:
v is in m/s
r is in m
so v^2/r
is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2
which is the same unit as dv/dt:
dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2
<span>The pythagorean theorem addresses the length of the hypotenuse in relation to the length of the legs. The square root of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of one leg squared plus the other leg squared. In other words, A squared plus B squared equals C squared where A and B are the lengths of the legs of the triangle and C is the length of the hypotenuse.</span>
From the first law of thermodynamics, we use the equation expressed as:
ΔH = Q + W
where Q is the heat absorbed of the system and W is the work done.
We calculate as follows:
ΔH = Q + W
ΔH = 829 J + 690 J = 1519 J
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
The correct answer is 1 and 4.
Burning of fossil fuels releases harmful gases to the atmosphere which leads to climate change. Burning of hydrogen gas releases water which has no negative effect on climate.
Burning of both fossil fuels and hydrogen takes place inside expensive fuel cells.
Fossil fuels are widely available and easy to locate whereas hydrogen is available in the combined form with other elements. Hydrogen are not found in pure form on earth.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable source of energy which means they cannot be replaced in short time.
Question:
A particle moving along the x-axis has a position given by x=(24t - 2.0t³)m, where t is measured in s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle at the instant when its velocity is zero
Answer:
24 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
x=(24t - 2.0t³)m
First find velocity function v(t):
v(t) = ẋ(t) = 24 - 2*3t²
v(t) = ẋ(t) = 24 - 6t²
Find the acceleration function a(t):
a(t) = Ẍ(t) = V(t) = -6*2t
a(t) = Ẍ(t) = V(t) = -12t
At acceleration = 0, take time as T in velocity function.
0 =v(T) = 24 - 6T²
Solve for T
Substitute -2 for t in acceleration function:
a(t) = a(T) = a(-2) = -12(-2) = 24 m/s
Acceleration = 24m/s
