Is it possible for an object to have a constant speed but be accelerating?

Physics

Yanka [14]3 years ago

Yes.  'Acceleration' does NOT mean speeding up.

Acceleration means any change in the speed or direction of motion.
Speeding up, slowing down, or rounding a curve are all accelerations.

Any object that's not moving in a straight line is accelerating, even if
its speed is constant.  

-- Your car is accelerating when you drive 30 mph along a curved road.

-- You're accelerating on a merry-go-round (carousel) or a ferris wheel
when it's speeding up, slowing down, or turning at a constant rate.

-- Your car is accelerating when you see a red light and step on the brakes.

-- You are accelerating when you jog around a circular track at gym.

4. Jimmy dropped a 10 kg bowling ball from a building that is 25 meters high.
KIM [24]

Answer:

The K.E of the bowling ball right before it hits the ground, K.E = 2450 J            

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the bowling ball, m = 10 kg

The height of the building, h = 25 m

The total mechanical energy of the body is given by,

                                     E = P.E + K.E

At height 'h' the P.E is maximum and the K.E is zero,

According to the law of conservation of energy, the K.E at the ground before hitting the ground is equal to the P.E at 'h'

Therefore, P.E at 'h'

                                  P.E = mgh

                                         = 10 x 9.8 x 25

                                         =  2450 J

Hence, the K.E of the bowling ball right before it hits the ground, K.E = 2450 J
