Answer:

(a) Negative

(b) Positive

Explanation:

Here is a question on sign.

(a) When the rock is going up, it is working against gravity. In this case, the acceleration due to gravity will take a negative value. This is because gravity works or acts downwards

(b) When the rock is coming down, it is actually working with gravity. So in this case, the sign will ne positive

Leto [7]
<span>The question is asking us what is BEST to say about a runner who is running at a constant velocity? A constant velocity (=speed) means that they are not getting faster or slower - they are running exactly as fast all the time. This meanst that their speed does not change, so their change of speed is equal to 0. A change of speed is called acceleration so their C. Their acceleration is zero. - C is the correct answer. </span>

A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon
nirvana33 [79]
It gets larger because
well let me give you an example
so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom.
we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense.
the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense and the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense.
hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 15

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Output force = 3000N

Input force = 200N

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = output force/input force

Substituting into the equation, we have

Mechanical advantage = 3000/200

Mechanical advantage = 15
