Describe a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesnt change

Physics
1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago

If you're riding a carousel or around a circular track, you have acceleration.

"Acceleration" means any change in speed or direction of motion.  When
you're moving in a circle, the direction of your motion is changing constantly,
so you're constantly accelerating.

A boy is exerting a force of 70 N at a 50-degree angle on a lawnmower. He is accelerating at 1.8 m/s2. Round the answers to the
Marysya12 [62]

The lawnmower accelerates in the positive horizontal direction, so that the net horizontal force is, by Newton's second law,

(70 N) cos(-50°) = <em>m</em> (1.8 m/s²)

where <em>m</em> is the mass of the lawnmower. Solve for <em>m</em> :

<em>m</em> = ((70 N) cos(-50°)) / (1.8 m/s²)

<em>m</em> ≈ 25 kg

The lawnmower presumably doesn't get lifted off the ground, so that the net vertical force is 0. If <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force, then by Newton's second law,

<em>n</em> - <em>m g</em> + (70 N) sin(-50°) = 0

<em>n</em> = <em>m g</em> + (70 N) sin(50°)

<em>n</em> = (25 kg) (9.8 m/s²) + (70 N) sin(50°)

<em>n</em> ≈ 300 N

The fact that some asteroids cluster in what are called asteroid families is probably the result of:
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The families are thought to form as a result of collisions between asteroids. In many or most cases the parent body was shattered, but there are also several families which resulted from a large cratering event which did not disrupt the parent body (e.g. the Vesta, Pallas, Hygiea, and Massalia families).

I appreciate any help I get on this, thank you in advanced :)
Reika [66]
The picture isn’t clear so I can’t read the dimensions of the box but I can try my best to guide u through the question.

For part a u need to find the volume of the box as that will equal the volume of sand that can be filled inside.
For this u multiply the height, width and length of the box.

For part b the mass of sand alone will be
=Mass of box + sand - Mass of empty box
=216 - 40
=176 grams

For part c the density of sand can be calculated by the formula
Density= Mass/Volume
So the mass (176g) / volume from part a

For part d u need to know that something will float if it has a lower density than what it is floating in. If the final density of sand that was found in part c is less than the density of gold (19.3 g/cm^3) it will float. Otherwise it will sink.

Hope this helped!
