Can an object have a low acceleration and high velocity at the same time . give example

2 answers:

5 0

Yes, acceleration only tells you how velocity is changing. It doesn't say anything about what velocity is at any given time.

For example, if you set your car to cruise control on the highway going 80 mph. That is a constant high velocity, yet the car has 0 acceleration.

The opposite is also true. After a red light turns green, you put foot on the gas to accelerate. However, your velocity is initially low even though it has high acceleration.

Of course !

A passenger jet, cruising at 37,000 feet on its way to California,
keeping a constant airspeed and flying in a straight line, can have
a velocity of 500 miles per hour west, but its acceleration is zero !

The answer is "B" - If there are no windows then there will be no light coming in, and therefore you don't have to worry about what time of day you do the experiment at.

You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will

vitfil [10]

The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, $g=9.8 m/s^2$ )

From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:

$d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}$

where

u is the initial velocity

$\theta$ is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the piece of paper in this problem,

u = 4.3 m/s

$\theta=65^{\circ}$

Substituting,

$d=\frac{(4.3)^2 sin(2\cdot 65^{\circ})}{9.8}=1.45 m \sim 1.4 m$

A charge of Q is fixed in space. A second charge of q was first placed at a distance r1 away from Q. Then it was moved along a s

topjm [15]

Answer:

$\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

$U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}$

So, the change in the potential energy is

$\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

A heat engine exhausts 8900 j of heat while performing 2800 j of useful work. part a what is the efficiency of this engine?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Given: Heat Qout means useful work = 2800 J

Heat Qin = 8900 J

Required; Efficiency = ?

Formula: Efficiency = Qout/Qin = x 100%

= 2800 J/8900 J = 0.3146 X 100 %

Efficiency = 31.46%

The white dwarf that remains when our sun dies will be mostly made of

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Carbon and oxygen

Explanation:

White dwarfs are the stars which have used all their hydrogen and helium fuel and now exists with only carbon and oxygen in their core. Their size reduces up to one hundredth times of the size of their sun in early stages and yet they possess the same mass.

Due to loss of fuels and impact of gravity, a young star collapses on itself leading to formation of dwarf star.
