Answer:

Explanation:

correct options

a ) Their electrical potential energy keeps decreasing

Actually as they move apart , their electrical potential energy decreases due to increase of distance between them and kinetic energy increases

so a ) option is correct

b ) Their acceleration keeps decreasing

As they move apart , their mutual force of repulsion decreases due to increase of distance between them so the acceleration decreases .

c ) c. Their kinetic energy keeps increasing

Their kinetic energy increases because their electrical potential energy decreases . Conservation of energy law will apply .

Compute your average velocity in the following two cases: (a) You walk 50.2 m at a speed of 2.21 m/s and then run 50.2 m at a sp
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a) 2.87 m/s

b) 3.23 m/s

Explanation:

The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.

a)

For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:

d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m

The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:

t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s

t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s

t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s

Therefore, the average velocity is:

v = d/t =2.87 m/s

b)

Here we can easily know the total time:

t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s

Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:

d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m

d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m

d = 418.656 m

Therefore, the average velocity is:

v = d/t =3.23 m/s

When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is ____ and the weight of the object is e
Maslowich

When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is <em>zero</em> (it's not accelerating), and the weight of the object is equal to <em>the force of air resistance against the object</em>.  (choice-D)

two large boxes sit side by side on a sidewalk. the box on the left has a mass of 80kg and the box on the right has a mass of 50
garri49 [273]

     The force that prevents motion when the surfaces of two objects come into contact is known as friction. Friction decreases a machine's mechanical advantage, or, to put it another way, reduces the output to input ratio.

<h3>How can I figure out the frictional force?</h3>

        The resistive force of friction (Fr) divided by the normal or perpendicular force (N) pushing the objects together yields the coefficient of friction (fr), which is a numerical value.

The formula fr = Fr/N serves as a representation of it.

Therefore, 100N of force is needed to move an item with a mass of 50 kg.

It will accelerate by 10 m/s2.

If a substance's mass does not change over time, friction cannot affect it. Instead, friction can be affected in a variety of ways by an object's mass.
