WHY does an acceleration cause velocity to increase

Physics
2 answers:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago

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.

In comparison with other ocean basins, major sedimentary features such as continental rises and abyssal plains are relatively ra
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Why are continental rises and abyssal plains relatively rare in the Pacific? This is because the extensive system of trenches along the active margins of the Pacific, trap much of the sediments flowing off the continents, preventing them from building the broad, flat abyssal plains typical of the Atlantic ocean basins.

A 10 kg blue cart moving to the right at 25 m/s collides with a 17 kg red cart moving in the opposite direction at 16 m/s. If, a
scoray [572]

Answer:

24.8m/s

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 10kg

u1=25m/s

m2=17kg

u2=16m/s

v1=10m/s

v2=??

Applying the conservation of linear momentum

m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

substitute

10*25+17*16=10*10+17*v2

250+272=100+17v2

522=100+17v2

522-100=17v2

422=17v2

Divide both sides by 17

v2= 422/17

v2= 24.8 m/s

Hence the velocity of the red cart is 24.8m/s in the opposite direction of the blue cart

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

                     

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

Where:

v^{2}: is the tangential speed = 9.50 m/s

r: is the distance = 6.00 m

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r} = \frac{(9.50 m/s)^{2}}{6.00 m} = 15.04 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

I hope it helps you!
