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.

What is the state of an object accelerating due to the force of gravity alone?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Its state is in uniformly accelerated motion

Explanation:

When an object is acted upon the force of gravity only, we said that the object is in free fall.

According to Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma

where F is the net force on an object, m is its mass, a its acceleration, when the net force on an object (F) is non-zero, than the object accelerates (because a is non-zero), so the object is in accelerated motion.

In case of free fall, the rate of acceleration of the object is equal to g=9.8 m/s^2, the acceleration due to gravity, and it is constant. So, the object is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.

Why do the planets orbit the Sun in an elliptical shape?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

That's essentially how objects in orbits work as they move closer to the body they orbit, they accelerate faster and faster. Our penny will get so fast that, once it comes around the planet, it will be flung very far away, which will then slow it down. This is what creates an elliptical orbit.

Refraction occurs through a glass slab why​
masha68 [24]

Answer:

One when it enters the glass slab from air and second time when it enters the air through glass slab. When light rays travelling through air enters glass slab, they get refracted and bend towards the normal. Now the direction of refracted ray changes again when it comes out of the glass slab into air.
