What is an example of Deceleration?

Physics

Elina [12.6K]3 years ago

That's a word often used to mean "slowing down". An example is what happens
when the brake is applied in a moving car.

But 'deceleration' is a very unofficial, unscientific word.  If the forward speed
is decreasing, then a much more useful concept is "negative acceleration".

When the body starts moving with a slower speed than the initial speed and it slows down continuously, the this is called deceleration. Examples of deceleration - 

When a ball is thrown upwards, its speed goes on decreasing as its height increases.
When a car applies brakes.

On February 15, 2013, a superbolide meteor (brighter than the Sun) entered Earth’s atmosphere over Chelyabinsk, Russia, and expl
topjm [15]

Explanation:

A.

Using the wave equation:

v = d/t

Where,

v = velocity

d = distance

= 23.5 km

= 23500 m

t = time

= 2m 30s = 150 s

v = 23500/150

= 156.7 m/s

B.

From the calculated value above, it can be seen that the velocity of the heat blast is >>> than the velocity of sound above sea level.

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 1200 ft from an
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

s=1.1107\ m is the minimum depth of snow for survivable stopping.

Explanation:

Given:

  • terminal velocity of fall, u=56\ m.s^{-1}
  • mass of the paratrooper, m=85\ kg
  • force on the paratrooper by the ice to stop him, F=1.2\times 10^5\ N

<u>Firstly, we calculate the deceleration caused in the snow:</u>

a=\frac{F}{m}

a=\frac{120000}{85}

a=1411.765\ m.s^{-2}

Now, using equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.s ....................(1)

where:

v = final velocity of the body after stopping

u = initial velocity of the body just before hitting the snow

a = acceleration of the body in the snow

s = distance through in the snow

Putting respective values in eq. (1)

0^2=56^2+2\times (-1411.765)\times s

s=1.1107\ m

List and define 4-5 waste materials from copper ore processing
frozen [14]
<span>Four waste materials from copper ore processing are: ore minerals, unwanted rock or gangue, uranium, and pyrite/sulfide minerals. Ore minerals are contained in rock and have potential to be economically extracted, gangue may contain silicate minerals for which there is no economic value, uranium is a frequently-occurring radionuclide found in ore bodies, and pyrite and sulfide minerals may be found in tailings piles during copper processing.</span>

Weightlessness is experienced by an astronaut in space. This means that the astronaut's muscles have to be stronger to move his
just olya [345]
The answer is false. The speed of the astronaut cancels out the force of gravity, causing a 'stationary freefall'. While under these effects, it is not required for an astronaut to 'strengthen' his body.
