Answer:

In vector form , if angle between velocity vector and acceleration vector is less than 90° and greater than 0° then it is positive acceleration and if it is less than 180° and greater than 90° then it is negative acceleration. If there is no acceleration vector then it is called zero acceleration

Answer:

The acceleration is positive when it's in the same direction as that of velocity. It keeps on increasing the velocity. In this case, velocity is not constant.

The acceleration is negative when it is in the direction opposite to that of velocity. It keeps on decreasing the speed of body.

The acceleration is zero when the body moves with a constant velocity in any particular direction.

Which of the following is the equation for calculating daily caloric needs? A. BMR calories + Digestion calories B. BMR calories

labwork [276]

Explanation:

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows: If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2. If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375.

Sally takes two bar magnets and randomly tapes one end of each bar magnet. she labels the magnets A and B. She brings the taped

vlabodo [156]

Since the two taped poles of the magnets labeled A and B attracts one to each other, we know that the two taped poles are oppsosite.

So, you can predict with total certainty that when she brings the taped end of the third magnet (magnet C) near each of the first two magntes, in one case they will attract each other and in the other case they will repele mutually.

You are certain of that because, since the taped poles of the first two magnets are opposite, the pole of the third magnet has to be equal to one of the two first taped poles and opposite to the other of the two firest taped poles.

A crate slides down a ramp that makes a 20o angle with the ground. To keep the crate moving at a steady speed, Paige pushes back

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

-223.64684 J

Explanation:

F = Force that is applied to the crate = 68 N

s = Displacement of the crate = 3.5 m

$\theta$ = Angle between the force and displacement vector = (180-20)

Work done is given by

$W=Fscos\theta\\\Rightarrow W=68\times 3.5\times cos(180-20)\\\Rightarrow W=-223.64684\ J$

The work that Paige does on the crate is -223.64684 J

A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total

Rudik [331]

Answer:

a) 0.41 m/s

b) 0.51 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

M = total mass of wagon, rider and the rock = 93.1 kg

V = initial velocity of wagon = 0.456 m/s

m = mass of the rock = 0.292 kg

v = velocity of rock after throw = 15.4 m/s

V' = velocity of wagon after rock is thrown

Using conservation of momentum

M V = m v + (M - m) V'

(93.1) (0.456) = (0.292) (15.4) + (93.1 - 0.292) V'

V' = 0.41 m/s

M = total mass of wagon, rider and the rock = 93.1 kg

V = initial velocity of wagon = 0.456 m/s

m = mass of the rock = 0.292 kg

v = velocity of rock after throw = - 15.4 m/s

V' = velocity of wagon after rock is thrown

Using conservation of momentum

M V = m v + (M - m) V'

(93.1) (0.456) = (0.292) (- 15.4) + (93.1 - 0.292) V'

V' = 0.51 m/s
