Which is not a way to accelerate an object?

Physics

GREYUIT [131]2 years ago

<span>Slowing an object down is not a means of accelerating it. It actually decelerates the motion of an object. Speeding it up, changing its direction and applying balanced forces accelerate an object. In order for an object to accelerate, a force must be applied. It follows Newton’s second law of motion where it states that a body at rest remains at rest unless a force is acted upon it. When you move an object, you are exerting a force onto it. By exerting a force on the object, you are actually displacing it from its initial position. You cannot apply force to the object without altering its position. Keep in mind that when you exert work, you are exerting energy too. </span>

A river flows due east at 1.60 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

part (a) v\ =\ 10.42\ at\ 81.17^o towards north east direction.

part (b) s = 46.60 m

Explanation:

Given,

  • velocity of the river due to east = v_r\ =\ 1.60\ m/s.
  • velocity of the boat due to the north = v_b\ =\ 10.3\ m/s.

part (a)

River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,

Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are 90^o

Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

\therefore v\ =\ \sqrt{v_r^2\ +\ v_b^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{1.60^2\ +\ 10.3^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 10.42\ m/s.

Let \theta be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.

Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.\therefore Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{v_b}{v_r}\\\Rightarrow Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ Tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\ \right )\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ 81.17^o

part (b)

  • Width of the shore = w = 300m

total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken

Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river.\therefore w\ =\ v_bt\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{w}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{300}{10.3}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ 29.12 s

Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river\therefore s\ =\ u_rt\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 1.60\times 29.12\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 46.60\ m

You are traveling at 100 km/hr to make it to work on time. You have to be to work in .25 hr or you will be late. You have 16 km
alexgriva [62]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Velocity V is defined as the distance traveled d in a specific time t:

V=\frac{d}{t}

If you are traveling at V=100 km/h a distance d=16 m, then the time it will take you to be at work is:

t=\frac{d}{V}=\frac{16 km}{100 km/h}

t=0.16 h

This means you will make it on time, because this time is less than 0.25 h.

How much time will it take to do 33j of work with 11 w of power
Yuri [45]

Time required : 3 s

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Power is the work done/second.

\tt P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=power,j/s,watt\\\\W=work, J\\\\t=times=s

 

To do 33 J of work with 11 W of power

P = 11 W

W = 33 J

\tt t=\dfrac{W}{P}\\\\t=\dfrac{33}{11}\\\\t=\boxed{\bold{3~s}}
