Can a body have zero velocity and finite acceleration?Explain​
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Kinda? Depends what the question is fully asking

Explanation:

Acceleration is a change in velocity. So I guess if the velocity of something is -2 m/s and its positively accelerating at a value of +1 m/s, then that means every second its velocity changes by +1m/s.

So that -2 m/s thing after one second will be going -1 m/s.

After another second it'll be going 0 m/s.

After another itll be going +1 m/s and so on.

So at one point for a brief moment, it can have an acceleration but be at 0 m/s velocity.

Location A receives
Vlad1618 [11]

Location A receives more rainfall than Location B due to the rain shadow effect.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Rain shadow effect is caused due to the presence of mountains.
  • A rain shadow area is an area of land that has been forced to become dry, devoid of any vegetation growth due to the blockage of precipitation by mountains. These rain shadow areas will have a dry climate.
  • The other side of the mountain would receive plenty of precipitation and therefore would be flourished with plant growth. These areas will have a cool and wet climate.
  • In this case, Location A is on the other side of the mountain and so receives more rainfall or precipitation. Meanwhile, Location B is on the rain shadow region and so receives less rainfall.

1. What is the potential energy of a 5.0-kg
babymother [125]

Answer:

  C.  98 J

Explanation:

The appropriate formula is ...

  PE = mgh . . . . . m is mass; below, m is meters

  PE = (5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m) = 98 kg·m^2/s^2

  PE = 98 J

011 10.0 points
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

2.47 m

Explanation:

Let's calculate first the time it takes for the ball to cover the horizontal distance that separates the starting point from the crossbar of d = 52 m.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is constant:

v_x = v cos \theta = (25)(cos 35.9^{\circ})=20.3 m/s

and the time taken to cover the horizontal distance d is

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{52}{20.3}=2.56 s

So this is the time the ball takes to reach the horizontal position of the crossbar.

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

y=u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

u_y = v sin \theta =(25)(sin 35.9^{\circ})=14.7 m/s is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

And substituting t = 2.56 s, we find the vertical position of the ball when it is above the crossbar:

y=(14.7)(2.56) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2.56)^2=5.52 m

The height of the crossbar is h = 3.05 m, so the ball passes

h' = 5.52- 3.05 = 2.47 m

above the crossbar.
