Can a body have increasing velocity with decreasing acceleration?

Physics
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago

Sure.  The acceleration may be decreasing, but as long as it stays
in the same direction as the velocity, the velocity increases.

I think you meant to ask whether the body can have increasing velocity
with negative acceleration.  That answer isn't simple either.

If the body's velocity is in the positive direction, then positive acceleration
means speeding up, and negative acceleration means slowing down.

BUT ... If the body's velocity is in the negative direction, then positive
acceleration means slowing down, and negative acceleration means
speeding up.

I know that's confusing. 

-- Take a piece of scratch paper, write a 'plus' sign at one edge and
a 'minus' sign at the other edge.  Those are the definitions of which
direction is positive and which direction is negative. 

-- Then sketch some cars ... one traveling in the positive direction, and
one driving in the negative direction.  Those are the directions of the
velocities.

-- Now, one car at a time:
. . . . . first push on the back of the car, in the direction it's moving;.
. . . . . then push on the front of the car, against its motion.
Each push causes the car to accelerate in the direction of the push.

When you see it on paper, all the positive and negative velocities
and accelerations will come clear for you.

A factory emits pollutants at a rate of 25 g/s. The factory is located between two mountain ranges resulting in an effective val
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the breeze = 4 m/s

w = Width of the valley = 5000 m

h = Height of the valley = 1000 m

Volumetric flow rate is given by

\dot{V}=vwh\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=4\times 5000\times 1000\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=2\times10^{7}\ \text{m}^3/\text{s}

\dot{m} = Mass flow rate of pollutant = 25 g/s = 25\times 10^6\ \mu\text{g/s}

Concentration is given by

C=\dfrac{\dot{m}}{\dot{V}}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{25\times 10^6}{2\times 10^7}\\\Rightarrow C=1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3

The steady state concentration of pollutants in the valley, is 1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3.

As a way of determining the inductance of a coil used in a research project, a student first connects the coil to a 5.62 V batte
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Its inductance L = 166 mH

Explanation:

Since a current, I = 0.698 A is obtained when a voltage , V = 5.62 V is applied, the resistance of the coil is gotten from V = IR

R = V/I = 5.62/0.698 = 8.052 Ω

Since we have a current of I' = 0.36 A (rms) when a voltage of V' = 35.1 V (rms) is applied, the impedance Z of the coil is gotten from

V₀' = I₀'Z where V₀ = maximum voltage = √2V' and I₀ = maximum current = √2I'

Z = V'/I' = √2 × 35.1 V/√2 × 0.36 V = 97.5 Ω

WE now find the reactance X of the coil from

Z² = X² + R²

X = √(Z² - R²)

= √(97.5² - 8.05²)

= √(9506.25 - 64.8025)

= √9441.4475

= 97.17 Ω

Now, the reactance X = 2πfL where f = frequency of generator = 93.1 Hz and L = inductance of coil.

L = X/2πf

= 97.17/2π(93.1 Hz)

= 97.17 Ω/584.965 rad/s

= 0.166 H

= 166 mH

Its inductance L = 166 mH

Describe an application where a parallel circuit might work better than a series circuit
babunello [35]
In rooms where there are multiple lights, a parallel circuit is better.

In a series circuit, if one light broke, all of the lights would turn off, as the circuit would be broken.

However, in parallel, if one bulb broke, the circuit could still be complete through the other bulbs, so they will stay on.
