If a cars velocity is slowing down is it considered a positive or negative acceleration?

Natali [406]

Answer:

Negative

Explanation:

Observe that the object below moves in the positive direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

What combines to form bonds in compounds?

Mila [183]

A chemical compound consists of 2 or more chemical elements. They can be separated into simpler substances. Atoms of elements can be combined to form compounds. Molecules are groups of 2 or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. Minerals are chemical compound that can be found in nature. Valence is a measure of the combining power of an element.Answer: A. Atoms of elements.

A bucket filled with water has a mass of 54 kg and is hanging from a rope that is wound around a 0.050 m radius stationary cylin

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque the bucket produces around the center of the cylinder is 26.46 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bucket = 54 kg

Radius = 0.050 m

We need to calculate the magnitude of the torque the bucket produces around the center of the cylinder

Using formula of torque

$\tau=F\times r$

$\tau=mg\times r$

Where, m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = radius

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=54\times9.8\times0.050$

$\tau=26.46\ N-m$

Hence, The magnitude of the torque the bucket produces around the center of the cylinder is 26.46 N-m.

A 3.00-kg object has a velocity 1 6.00 i ^ 2 2.00 j ^2 m/s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at this moment? (b) what is the net w

tatyana61 [14]

(a) The velocity of the object on the x-axis is 6 m/s, while on the y-axis is 2 m/s, so the magnitude of its velocity is the resultant of the velocities on the two axes:
$v= \sqrt{(6.00m/s)^2+(2.00 m/s)^2}=6.32 m/s$
And so, the kinetic energy of the object is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(6.32 m/s)^2=60 J$

(b) The new velocity is 8.00 m/s on the x-axis and 4.00 m/s on the y-axis, so the magnitude of the new velocity is
$v= \sqrt{(8.00 m/s)^2+(4.00 m/s)^2}=8.94 m/s$
And so the new kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(8.94 m/s)^2=120 J$

So, the work done on the object is the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
$W=\Delta K=120 J-60 J=60 J$

A rectangular box has side 10cm x 5cm x 2cm. If it lies on a horizontal surface and has weight 1.00N, calculate the maximum and

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

P max = 1000 pa

P min = 200 pa

Explanation:

P = F/A

pressure will be maximum when surface gets minimum. so to find the maximum amount of pressure we need to calculate the minimum surface. it is 2cm×5cm = 10cm² = 0.001m² . then we have:

P = 1 / 0.001 = 1000 pa

to find minimum pressure the surface that must be chosen is 10cm×5cm = 50cm² = 0.005m² .

P = 1 / 0.005 = 200 pa
