Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement co

ncerning its acceleration?
Physics

dalvyx [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Its acceleration is positive

Explanation:

As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.

As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.

A child carries a 3N book at a constant velocity of 4 meters across a horizontal floor. What is the net work done?
s2008m [1.1K]
This problem is getting you used to the definition of 'work' = (force) x (distance).

It's hard to really imagine, but technically, when an object moves horizontally,
no work is done, because there's no lifting against the force of gravity.

Another way to look at it:  The potential energy of the object never changes,
because its height never changes, so no energy ever goes into it ot gets
taken out of it.

Also, if the object moves at a constant speed, then it never accelerated,
and that means that no force ever acted on it.

So technically, when an object moves horizontally at a constant speed,
the work done on it is zero.

A 120 -kg crate accelerates toward the positive x-direction . If the magnitude of the force due to friction is 74.4 N , what for
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The applied force to accelerate the crate is 374.4 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the crate, m = 120 kg

magnitude of force due to friction, Fk = 74.4N

acceleration of the crate, a = 2.5 m/s²

The net horizontal force on the crate is calculated as;

∑Fx = F - Fk

ma = F - Fk

F = ma + Fk

where;

F is the applied force to accelerate the crate by 2.5 m/s²

F = (120 x 2.5) + (74.4 N)

F = 300 N + 74.4 N

F = 374.4 N

Therefore, the applied force to accelerate the crate is 374.4 N
