This affirmative is false

False. Zeros count when they're after other numbers like (4,5) - non-zeros.
Zeros to the right of a decimal place count. Also zeros that are in between the non-zero digits count as significant digits. Zeros to the left of a decimal place dont count.

A. State whether the acceleration is positive, negative or zero for each section in the speed versus

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a=positive

b=0

c=positive

d=negative

Explanation:

a=acceleration depends on the speed and time. if the speed and time are increasing at the same rate, the acceleration value will be positive as the vehicle is speeding up.

b=the speed and time are not increasing, therefore the vehicle is either stationary or travelling at a steady pace.

c=same explanation as a

d=the speed and time are not increasing at the same rate as the speed is decreasing. this means that the car is slowing down

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which of the following? Question 4 options: time position velocity displacemen

vovangra [49]

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change in the velocity of an object. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is Acceleration?</h3>

It is defined as the rate of change in velocity.

It can also be defined as the rate of change in position in a particular direction.

$a = \dfrac {v-u}t\ \ \ \ \rmor}\\\\a = \dfrac {\Delta v }t$

Where,

$a$ - acceleration

$\Delta v$ - change in velocity

$t$ - time

Therefore, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change in the velocity of an object.

Example of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium.

A 500 kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 100 m/s in 400 m (about a quarter of a mile) and encounters an avera

Fantom [35]

In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed $v_f = 100 m/s$ , its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
$W= K_f - K_i = K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J$

however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
$W_f = F_f d = -(1200 N)(400 m)= -4.8 \cdot 10^5 J$
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.

This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is $-W_f$ :
$W_t = W + (-W_f)=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J+4.8 \cdot 10^5 J=2.98 \cdot 10^6 J$

So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
$P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{2.98 \cdot 10^6 J}{7.30 s}=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W$

And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
$P=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W \cdot \frac{1 hp}{746 W} =547 hp$

Which type of lever is exemplified by the flexing of the forearm by the biceps brachii muscle?

ira [324]

Answer:

a third class lever

Explanation:

The third class or interpower lever is a lever that enables fast and dynamic movements. It places the power between the resistance and the support, so the resistance arm is longer than the power.

It is the most frequent type of lever in the human body and as an example we can put the action of the brachial biceps in the flexion of the elbow, where the biceps is inserted in the forearm between the elbow that is behind and the resistance that would be displaced towards the hand by the weight of the load attached to the weight of the forearm.

A good range of movements is achieved although with less force and is the most frequent type of lever in human movement, although the same joint can form different types of lever depending on the type of movement performed .
