If a passenger train is traveling on a straight track with a negative velocity and a positive acceleration, is it speeding up or

slowing down?
Physics
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Slowing down

Explanation:

Since a train with negative velocity and positive acceleration, this means its acceleration is in opposite direction with the velocity. As time progress, this opposite direction would decrease the velocity magnitude, making the train slowing down.

At one point in the circuit, there is an LED and a resistor in parallel with one another. If you measure the voltage drop across
kifflom [539]

Answer:

C. The voltage drop across the resistor is 2.1V and nothing about the current through the resistor.

Explanation:

When connected in parallel, voltage across the resistances are the same. So if 2.1V was dropped across the LED then 2.1V was also dropped across the resistor. However, this tells us nothing about the current through the resistor. We can find the current across the resistor if we know the resistance of the resistor, but that's about it.

If it were a series connection, then the current would have been the same, but the voltage drop were another story.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 10
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: Their final relative velocity is -0.412 m/s.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation,

      m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

      m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v

     2.50 \times 10^{3} kg \times 0 m/s + 7.50 \times 10^{3} kg \times -0.550 m/s = (2.50 \times 10^{3} kg + 7.50 \times 10^{3} kg)v

           -4.12 \times 10^{3} kg m/s = (10^{4} kg) v

                   v = \frac{-4.12 \times 10^{3} kg m/s}{10^{4} kg}

                      = -0.412 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that their final relative velocity is -0.412 m/s.

A truck traveled 400 meters north in 80 seconds and then it traveled 300 meters east in 70 seconds. The magnitude of the average
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

3.3m/s

Explanation:

You first get the total time (80 + 70 = 150s).

Then you would find the displacement of the truck. To do that you would do component method (vector addition), so since its a right triangle (North and East), displacement is 400^2 + 300^2 = d^2.

d= 500m.

So now that you have displacement and time, you can find the velocity:

v=d/t

v=500/150

v=3.3

Describe how the boiling point of water on top of a mountain would be different from its boiling point at sea level.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

At elevated altitudes, any cooking that involves boiling or steaming generally requires compensation for lower temperatures because the boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes due to the decreased atmospheric pressure.

Shadow and eclipses result from​
Basile [38]

\huge\mathsf{\red{\underline{\underline{Answer}}}}

{\green{\dashrightarrow}}When an opaque obstacle is placed between a source of light and a screen, a shadow of the obstacle is formed on the screen. The kind of shadow depends on the size of the source of light. In other words, the earth casts its shadow on the moon. The solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth.
