Answer:

Yes, it is accelerating

Explanation:

Acceleration is a vector quantity, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where v is the velocity and t is the time.

v, the velocity, is also a vector, having both a magnitude (called speed) and a direction. This means that the acceleration is non-zero whenever the velocity is  changing: this means that we have an acceleration either when the speed is changing, or also when the direction of the velocity is changing.

In the example in the question, the insect spins with the disc, so it is in circular motion. This means that the direction of the velocity of the insect is constantly changing: therefore, the acceleration of the insect is non-zero, so the insect is accelerating.

A rowboat passenger uses an oar to push the boat off the dock by exerting a force of 40N for 3.0s. What impulse acts on the boat
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

120 Ns

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is given by:

I=Ft

where

F is the force applied

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have:

F = 40 N

t = 3.0 s

So, the impulse acting on the boat is

I=Ft=(40 N)(3.0 s)=120 Ns

At a given instant the bottom A of the ladder has an acceleration aA = 4 f t/s2 and velocity vA = 6 f t/s, both acting to the le
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Acceleration=24.9ft^2/s^2

Angular acceleration=1.47rads/s

Explanation:

Note before the ladder is inclined at 30° to the horizontal with a length of 16ft

Hence angular velocity = 6/8=0.75rad/s

acceleration Ab=Aa +(Ab/a)+(Ab/a)t

4+0.75^2*16+a*16

0=0.75^2*16cos30°-a*16sin30°---1

Ab=0+0.75^2sin30°+a*16cos30°----2

Solving equation 1

(0.75^2*16cos30/16sin30)=angular acceleration=a=1.47rad/s

Also from equation 2

Ab=0.75^2*16sin30+1.47*16cos30=24.9ft^2/s^2
