Using the standard convention "positive is up", what is the sign of the acceleration of a rock you throw up (a) as it is going u

p, and (b) as it is coming back down?

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

Describe an example where materials are prepared as fluids so that they can be moved easily
den301095 [7]

Answer:

In general solids are easier to transport than liquids, but the above metal example is a valid one and the only other one that comes to mind is that of concrete. It is mixed as a liquid and transported as such, but then sprayed or laid down to dry and form a solid surface or filler.

An object is in simple harmonic motion. Find an equation for the motion given that the frequency is 3⁄π and at time t = 0, y = 0
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: y(t)= 1/π^2 sin(6*π^2*t)

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the general expression for a harmonic movement given by:

y(t)= A*sin (ω*t +φo) where ω is the angular frequency. A is the amplitude.

The data are: ν= 3π; y(t=0)=0 and y'(0)=6.

Firstly we know that 2πν=ω then ω=6*π^2

Then, we have y(0)=0=A*sin (6*π^2*0+φo)= A sin (φo)=0 then φo=0

Besides y'(t)=6*π^2*A*cos (6*π^2*t)

y'(0)=6=6*π^2*A*cos (6*π^2*0)

6=6*π^2*A then A= 1/π^2

Finally the equation is:

y(t)= 1/π^2 sin(6*π^2*t)

the volume of ice block is 2400cm^3 and its density is 0.9 g/cm^3. how much part of it remains above the surface of water when i
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

240 cm³

Explanation:

Weight = Buoyancy

mg = ρVg

m = ρV

(0.9 g/cm³ × 2400 cm³) = (1 g/cm³) V

V = 2160 cm³

The submerged volume is 2160 cm³, so the volume above the surface is 240 cm³.

Consider an electromagnetic wave where the electric field of an electromagnetic wave is oscillating along the z-axis and the mag
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<em>The wave will be travelling in the y-axis</em>

Explanation:

An e-m wave has a spatially varying electric field that is always associated with a magnetic field that changes over time and vice versa. The electric field and the magnetic field oscillates perpendicularly to each other, and together form a wave that travels in a perpendicular direction to the magnetic and the electric field in space. The movement of the e-m wave through space is usually away from the source where it is generated. So, if the electric field travels in the z-axis, and the magnetic field travels through along the x-axis, then the e-m wave generated will travel in the y-axis direction.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: 0.000346 Nm

Explanation:

T = u X B

u = i x A = magnetic moment

T = i x A x B x sin(30)

T = 0..48 x 0.049^2 x 0.6 x 0.5 = 0.000346 Nm
