Answer: A car is accelerating when it is traveling on a straight uphill road at 30 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object with respect to time. For a body to accelerate, its velocity must be changing at every time interval. According to option a and c, the velocity of the body is constant during the journey but the time is changing. A body with constant velocity possesses a zero acceleration.

A car travelling on a straight up hill possesses velocity change at each time interval. Since the car is on a slope, its shows its acceleration is changing.

Which of the following would be used in luminosity calculations?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

1) joule

2) $kgm^{2}/s^{2}$

3) $10\%$

Explanation:

1) Luminosity is the <u>amount of light emitted</u> (measured in Joule) by an object in a unit of<u> time</u> (measured in seconds). Hence in SI units luminosity is expressed as joules per second ( $\frac{J}{s}$ ), which is equal to Watts ( $W$ ).

This amount of light emitted is also called radiated electromagnetic power, and when this is measured in relation with time, the result is also called radiant power emitted by a light-emitting object.

Therefore, if we want to calculate luminosity the Joule as a unit will be used.

2) Work $W$ is expressed as force $F$ multiplied by the distane $d$ :

$W=F.d$

Where force has units of $kgm/s^{2}$ and distance units of $m$ .

If we input the units we will have:

$W=(kgm/s^{2})(m)$

$W=kgm^{2}/s^{2}$ This is 1Joule ( $1 J$ ) in the SI system, which is also equal to $1 Nm$

3) The formula to calculate the percent error is:

$\% error=\frac{|V_{exp}-V_{acc}|}{V_{acc}} 100\%$

Where:

$V_{exp}=7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$ is the experimental value

$V_{acc}=6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$ is the accepted value

$\% error=\frac{|7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}-6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}|}{6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}} 100\%$

$\% error=10.04\% \approx 10\%$ This is the percent error

What are two ways that machines can change the way that work is done?

algol [13]

Machines makes work easier by increasing the amount of force that is applied, and changing the direction in which the force is applied !! Hope it helped (p.s. I had this same question)

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.
