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

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 !

Explain velocity ratio. Explain and define the efficiency of a machine

Norma-Jean [14]

Velocity ratio is also defined as the ratio of a distance through which any part of a machine moves, to that which the driving part moves during the same time. An object has a mechanical advantage if it exerts a force higher than the velocity ratio.

If you can simply pour sand into a cup then why is it not a liquid?

sleet_krkn [62]

If you, for example, poured it onto a wide cup with a volume equal to the total volume of the sand particles, the sand would not spread out to fill the container but would bunch up together in the middle.

1.Convert 340 cm into m *(answer=0.34m)

Nataly [62]

Answer:

1.for the first one 100centimeters make 1 meter therefore

100cm-1m

340cm-x

340/100

=3.4

the answer is supposed to be 3.4, maybe there's a mistake with the question or the answer

2.the weight of a body is given by the formula

mass×gravity,in this case the mass is 75kg and the gravity is 9.8

weight=75×9.8

=735N

3.for this one the mass of a body is given by the formula

mass=weight/gravity

=420/9.8

=42.8kg

I hope this helps

The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance. How will this change the force of attractio

tigry1 [53]

The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance. Since they were already separated by one time the original distance,
the additional three times the oringinal distance now puts them four times the original distance apart.

Whether we're talking about the gravitational forces of attraction or
the electrical forces of attraction, either one is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects.

So changing the distance to four times the original distance causes
the forces to become 1/4² as strong as they were originally.

The forces become 1/16 of their original magnitude.

Where is potential energy in food stored

AlexFokin [52]

The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the food. When those bonds break up during the metabolic processes, the energy is released. After that, that energy is stored in the Adenosine Triphosphate bonds aka ATP. The simplest way to think is to think of food as the tightly bound atoms. When the chemical bonds between those atoms break, the stored energy in that food is released.
