Is it possible for a car to be accelerating to the west while it is driving to the east?

Physics
1 answer:
Ber [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

If the acceleration has an opposite direction to the velocity of the car, this means that it is opposed to is motion. Therefore, it is called deceleration, since the car's velocity will decrease until it stops and then will start it moving towards the west.

which process was found after wegeners time, helped scientists find out how the continents actually move.
Genrish500 [490]
I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

A 100 kg box is suspended from two ropes. The "left rope makes an angle of 20" degrees with the vertical, and the right rope mak
GarryVolchara [31]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 100 kg          

Left rope makes an angle of 20 degrees with the vertical, and the right rope makes an angle of 40 degrees.  

From the attached figure, the x and y component of forces is given by :

T_{1x} =-T_1 cos (20)

T_{2x} = T_2 cos (40)

mg_x = 0

T_{1y} = T_1 sin (20)

T_{2y} = T_2 sin (40)

mg_y= -mg

Let R_x and R_y is the resultant in x and y direction.

R_x=-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0

R_y=T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-mg

As the system is balanced the net force acting on it is 0. So,

-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0=0.............(1)

T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-100\times 9.8=0..................(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) we get:  

T_1=866.86\ N (tension on the left rope)

T_2=1063.36\ N (tension on the right rope)

So, the tension on the right rope is 1063.36 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
