A car has an acceleration of -5 m/s^2. Describe the car’s motion

Physics

AlladinOne [14]3 years ago

7 0

Explanation:

because the acceleration is negative, this indicates a deceleration (or slowing down) . Hence we can say that:

The car is decelerating (slowing down), i.e its velocity is decreasing, at a constant rate of 5m/s².

Darina [25.2K]

Your mass wouldn’t change, but your weight would. Weight depends on the force of gravity however mass does not. When you land on the moon, your mass is the same as it was on the earth but weight will drop

The diagram shows a ball resting at the top of a hill.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

Explanation:

Let be X the point where a ball rests at the top of a hill. By applying the Principle of Energy Conservation, the total energy in the physical system remains constant and gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill is equal to the sum of kinetic energy, a lower gravitational energy and dissipated work due to nonconservative forces (friction, dragging).

$U_{grav, X} = U_{grav, Y} + K_{Y} + \Delta W_{X \rightarrow Y} = U_{grav,Z}+\Delta W_{X \rightarrow Z}$

Conclusions are showed as follows:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

b) The kinetic energy is the lowest at X and Z.

c) Total energy remains constant as the ball moves from X to Y.

Hence, the correct answer is A.

If a 1.00 kg body has an acceleration of 2.44 m/s2 at 53Â° to the positive direction of the x axis, then what are (a) the x comp

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) Fx = 1.464 N

(b) Fy = 1.952 N

Given

Mass = 1kg

Acceleration = 2.44 m/s2

Angle with positive X axis = 53°

As we know

F = ma

By substituting value

F= 1×2.44 N

F= 2.44 N

(a) Component of force in X direction

Fx = F Cosθ

Fx = 2.44 Cos(53°)

Fx = 2.44 × 0.60 = 1.464 N

(b) Component of force in Y direction

Fy = F Sinθ

Fy = 2.44 Sin(53°) = 2.44 × 0.80 = 1.952 N

F(x, y) = 1.464 i + 1.952 j

Thus we got net force.
