If the net force on an object is in a negative direction, what will the direction of the resulting acceleration be?

1 answer:

5 0

Newton's 2nd law says: Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

I wrote Force and acceleration in bold letters because
they're both vectors ... they have size and direction.

The equation is saying that the Force and the acceleration
are both in the same direction.

A particle moving on a circle has a velocity of 5 m/s and a normal acceleration of 10 m/s^2. What is the radius of the circle?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

Explanation:

We have given velocity of particle moving in the circle v = 5 m/sec

Acceleration of particle in the circle $a=10m/sec^2$

We have to find the radius of the circle

We know that acceleration is given by $a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

So $10=\frac{5^2}{r}$

$r=\frac{25}{10}=2.5m$

So radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

Which one of the following is not equivalent to 2.50 miles?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Choice C is not equivalent to 2.50 miles.

Explanation:

The given data is now converted into feet, inches, kilometers, yards and centimeters:

mi - ft

$x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(5280\,\frac{ft}{mi} \right)$

$x = 13200\,ft$

$x = 1.320\times 10^{4}\,ft$ (Choice A)

mi - in

$x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(5280\,\frac{ft}{mi} \right)\cdot \left(12\,\frac{in}{ft} \right)$

$x = 158400\,in$

$x = 1.584\times 10^{5}$ (Choice B)

mi - km

$x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(1.61\,\frac{km}{mi} \right)$

$x = 4.025\,km$ (Different from Choice C)

mi - yd

$x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(5280\,\frac{ft}{mi}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\,\frac{yd}{ft} \right)$

$x = 4400\,yd$

$x = 4.40\times 10^{3}\,yd$ (Choice D)

mi - cm

$x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(1.61\,\frac{km}{mi} \right)\cdot \left(100000\,\frac{cm}{km}\right)$

$x = 402500\,cm$

$x = 4.025\times 10^{5}\,cm$ (Choice E)

Choice C is not equivalent to 2.50 miles.

50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the bui

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

98.13m

Explanation:

Complete question

Daniel is 50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the building

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

From the figure, using trigonometry

Tan(θ ) = opposite/adjacent

Where Angle (θ )= 63°

Opposite= X = height of the building

Adjacent= 50 m

Then substitute the values we have

Tan(63)= X/50

1.9626= X/50

X= 1.9626 × 50

X= 98.13m

Hence, the height of the building is 98.13m

b. What would the momentum be if the mass of the bowling ball were doubled and its velocity still was 3 m/s?

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Twice.

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Where

m is mass and v is the velocity

If the mass of the ball were doubled, m'=2m and v'=v=3 m/s

New momentum,

p'=m'v'

p'=2m × v

p'=2mv

p'=2p

So, the new momentum becomes twice the initial momentum.
