The car's acceleration is negative if ...

-- it's going slower and slower in the direction that you call 'positive',

OR . . .

-- it's going faster and faster in the direction opposite
to what you call 'positive',

OR . . .

-- it's driving around in a circle AND you call the direction
OUT from the center of the circle the 'positive' direction.

When a car is slowing down, it has a negative acceleration. Although it is not going a negative speed, it is decreasing in velocity, which is the definition of a negative acceleration.

Hope this helps!

A 8.2-V battery is connected in series with a 38-mH inductor, a 150-Î© resistor, and an open switch.A 8.2-V battery is connected

Answer:

(A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 8.2 V

Inductor = 38 mH

Resistance = 150 Ω

Time t = 0.110 ms

The battery has negligible internal resistance, so that the total resistance in the circuit is 150 ohms. Then use this equation for current at time t in terms of inductance

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$I(t)=\dfrac{V}{R}\times(1-e^{-t\times\dfrac{R}{L}})$
