If a cars velocity is slowing down is it considered a positive or negative acceleration?

Answer:

Negative

Explanation:

Observe that the object below moves in the positive direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

PLZ HELP 30 PNTS AND BRAINLIST IF CORRECT! (accidentally put 10 pnts, i get u the points if u get the answer right)

Answer:

the net force is acting upon the object. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude. Hope this helps you.

Find the period of the leg of a man who is 1.83 m in height with a mass of 67 kg. The moment of inertia of a cylinder rotating a

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

$T = 1.108\,s$

Explanation:

The period of a physical pendulum is:

$T = \sqrt{\frac{I_{O}}{m\cdot g \cdot L} }$

$T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{3}\cdot m \cdot L^{2} }{m\cdot g\cdot L} }$

$T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{L }{3\cdot g} }$

The length of the leg is approximately the height of the person:

$L = 0.915\,m$

The period is:

$T = 2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.915\,m}{3\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} }$

$T = 1.108\,s$

Answer:

0.208 N

Explanation:

We are given that

$q_1=q_2=2.06\mu C=2.06\times 10^{-6} C$

$q_3=q_4=-2.06\mu C=-2.06\times 10^{-6} C$

The magnitude of the net electrostatic force experienced by any charge at point 4

Net force, $F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2_1+F^2_3+2F_1F_3cos90^{\circ}}-F_2$

$F_1=F_3=F$

$F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2+F^2+0}-F_2$

$F_{net}=\sqrt 2F-F_2$

$F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}$

$F_2=\frac{Kq^2}{2d^2}$

$F_{net}=\frac{\sqrt 2kq^2}{d^2}-\frac{kq^2}{2d^2}=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

$F_{net}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (2.06\times 10^{-6})^2}{(0.41)^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})$

$F_{net}=0.208 N$
