Which is not a way to accelerate an object?

1 answer:

6 0

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.

A ceiling fan with 90-cm-diameter blades is turning at 64 rpm . Suppose the fan coasts to a stop 28 s after being turned off. Wh

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the ceiling fan, d = 90 cm = 0.9 m

angular speed of the fan, ω = 64 rpm

time taken for the fan to stop, t = 28 s

The distance traveled by the ceiling fan when it comes to a stop is calculated as;

$d = vt = \omega r\times t= ( \frac{64 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s} \times 0.9 \ m) \times 28 \ s\\\\d = 168.89 \ m$

The speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is calculated as;

$v = \frac{d}{t} \\\\v = \frac{168.89}{10} \\\\v = 16.889 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

A certain material has a mass of 565 g while occupying 50 cm3 of space. What is this material?

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Lead

Explanation:

To get the density of the material, the formula would be:

mass divided by volume which is given by $d = \frac { m } { v }$ .

Here in this problem, we are given a mass of $565 g$ which occupies a volume of $50 cm^3$ .

So plugging the data in the above formula to find the density:

Density = $\frac { 565 } { 50 } = 11.3$

From the table, we can see that the material is Lead which has a density of 11.3c/cm^3.

During a demonstration of the gravitational force on falling objects to her class, Sarah drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the t

leonid [27]

The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.

After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).

Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.

Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered 4.9 meters.

ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.

Answer:

At the end points of motion (either side) the velocity must be zero because the velocity is changing from - to + (it can't turn around around without passing thru zero,

The velocity will then increase to the midpoint of the motion.

m g h = 1/2 m v^2 where h is the vertical distance thru which the pendulum travels
