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

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.

A sailcraft is stalled on a windless day. A fan is attached to the craft and blows air into the sail which bounces backward upon
mylen [45]

Answer:

Impulse = change in momentum w bounce

There are 2 impulses acting. Recoil of the fan going the negative direction and the impulse of the air bouncing off the sail. The greater impulse will bounce so the direction will be to the right moving the craft.

A traveling wave on a string can be described by the equation : y = (5.26 ~\text{m}) \cdot \sin \big( (1.65 ~\frac{\text{rad}}{\
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

  t = 1.77 s

Explanation:

The equation of a traveling wave is

       y = A sin [2π (x /λ -t /T)]

where A is the oscillation amplitude, λ the wavelength and T the period

the speed of the wave is constant and is given by

      v = λ f

Where the frequency and period are related

     f = 1 / T

we substitute

      v = λ / T

let's develop the initial equation

    y = A sin [(2π / λ) x - (2π / T) t +Ф]

where Ф is a phase constant given by the initial conditions

the equation given in the problem is

    y = 5.26 sin (1.65 x - 4.64 t + 1.33)

if we compare the terms of the two equations

 

         2π /λ = 1.65

          λ = 2π / 1.65

          λ = 3.81 m

         2π / T = 4.64

          T = 2π / 4.64

          T = 1.35 s

we seek the speed of the wave

           v = 3.81 / 1.35

           v = 2.82 m / s

           

Since this speed is constant, we use the uniformly moving ratios

          v = d / t

           t = d / v

           t = 5 / 2.82

           t = 1.77 s
