Answer:

When the velocity of an object changes it is said to be accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. ... Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction.

It doesn't always do that.

Acceleration means any change in the speed or direction of motion. So any time an object speeds up, slows down, or turns, acceleration is happening.

These 3 things are all changes of velocity. Acceleration causes them, because that's the definition of acceleration.

A 3.50-meter length of wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.14 × 10-6 meter2 is at 20° Celsius. If the wire has a resistance of

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

$5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m$

Explanation:

Resistivity is given by $\rho=\frac {AR}{L}$ where A is cross-sectional area, R is resistance, L is the length and $\rho$ is the reistivity. Substituting 0.0625 for R, 3.14 × 10-6 for A and 3.5 m for L then the resistivity is equivalent to

$\rho=\frac {3.14\times 10^{-6}\times 0.0625}{3.5}=5.60714285714285714285714285714285714285\times 10^{-8}\approx 5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m$

This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The mag

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 135.7 N$

Part b)

$F = 62.5 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

If block is sliding up then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

$Fcos\theta = mg + F_f$

$Fsin\theta = F_n$

so we have

$Fcos\theta = mg + \mu(Fsin\theta)$

$F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = mg$

$F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}$

$F = \frac{55}{cos50 - 0.310(sin50)}$

$F = 135.7 N$

Part b)

If block is sliding down then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

$Fcos\theta = mg - F_f$

$Fsin\theta = F_n$

so we have

$Fcos\theta = mg - \mu(Fsin\theta)$

$F(cos\theta + \mu sin\theta) = mg$

$F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta + \mu sin\theta}$

$F = \frac{55}{cos50 + 0.310(sin50)}$

$F = 62.5 N$

Suppose the half-life of an element is 10 years. How many half-lives will it take before only about 6% of the original sample re

sergiy2304 [10]

You don't need to worry about the 10 year bit with this question. Just grab a calculator and divide 100/2, then the answer to that (50) by 2 etc and keep dividing by 2 until you get down to 6.25.

The answer ends up being 4 half lives :)

If you don't understand what a half life is please let me know :)
