A decrease in the magnitude of the velocity is called

1 answer:

3 0

That's one of the three changes that are called "acceleration".

The other two are:

-- increase in the magnitude

-- change in direction.

Some might call a decrease in the magnitude "deceleration".

The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 820 kg and the car is moving 36 m/s, wh

Lelechka [254]

In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:

Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

$v^2=v^2_o-2ax$

where,

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

vo: initial speed = 36m/s

x: distance traveled = 980m

a: deceleration of the car= ?

Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v^2_o-v^2}{2x} \\ a=\frac{(36\frac{m}{s})^2-(0\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(980m)}=0.66\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

$F=ma$

where,

m: mass of the car = 820 kg

a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2

Replace the previous values and simplify:

$F=(820kg)(0.66\frac{m}{s^2})=542.20N$

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N

What is the magnitude of an electric field that balances the weight of a plastic sphere of mass 2.1 g that has been charged to -

Liula [17]

Answer:

Electric field, $E=6.86\times 10^6\ N/C$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of sphere, m = 2.1 g = 0.0021 kg

Charge, $q=-3\ nC=-3\times 10^{-9}\ C$

We need to find the magnitude of electric field that balances the weight of a plastic spheres. So,

$ma=qE$

a = g

$E=\dfrac{mg}{q}$

$E=\dfrac{0.0021\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}{-3\times 10^{-9}\ C}$

$E=6860000\ N/C$

$E=6.86\times 10^6\ N/C$

Hence, the magnitude of electric field that balances its weight is $6.86\times 10^6\ N/C$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Permafrost characterizes the biome called

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Tundra Biome

Explanation:

Permafrost is a type of soil that is frozen all year round. It consists of rocks, soils and ice. The ice or frost holds the earth materials together.

The tundra biome lies below the arctic circle close to the north pole. Most of the earth here is predominantly frozen all year round. A layer of glacier covers the surface and a deep lying layer of permafrost follows suit.

Some mountain tops capped with ice shows this tundra features.

Most tundras are termed cold deserts as they have little to no precipitation all year round. There is absence of vegetation cover as a result of low growing season of the plants.
