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.

10. A 25 kg apple cart is being pushed with an applied force of 115 N. The coefficient of friction between the ground and the ca
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1.1 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

F -mgμ = ma.................... Equation 1

Where F = applied force, m = mass of the apple cart, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ =  coefficient of friction., a = acceleration of the apple cart.

Given: F = 115 N, m = 25 kg,  μ  = 0.35

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

115-(25×10×0.35) = 25×a

115-87.5 = 25a

25a = 27.5

a = 27.5/25

a = 1.1 m/s²

interval (from lowering the body to his feet taking off) lasts for 0.3 s and the mass of the player is 90 kg. Ignore air resista
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The force applied to the surface is 9 kilo Newton.

Explanation:

While jumping on the surface the player applies the force that is equal to its weight on the surface.

The mass of the player is given as 90 kg.

Force applied by the player = weight of the player

Force applied by the player = m × g

Where m is the mass of the player and g is acceleration due to gravity

Force applied by the player = 90 × 9.8

Force applied by the player = 882 Newton

Expressing your answer to one significant figure, we get

Force applied by the player =0. 9 kilo Newton

The force applied to the surface is 0.9 kilo Newton.
