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

Physics
1 answer:
Natali [406]3 years ago
4 0

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).

What distance is covered by an airplane traveling at a velocity of 660 miles per hour in 3.5 hours?
N76 [4]

As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.

The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.

We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.

The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.

Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time

                                                      S = v × t

                                                        = 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours

                                                        = 2310 miles.

Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.

What's the difference between shunt and multiplier?​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

A Shunt is a passive element, usually resistive, that is used to bypass current around another element, like a meter, that is not able to handle the full current flow. ... A Multiplier is an active element that amplifies a voltage or current to enable a less sensitive device or circuit to make use of it.

If a cup of coffee has temperature 95∘C95∘C in a room where the temperature is 20∘C,20∘C, then, according to Newton's Law of Coo
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

T = 76.39°C

Explanation:

given,

coffee cup temperature = 95°C

Room temperature= 20°C

expression

T( t ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}

temperature at t = 0

T( 0 ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-0}{50}}

T(0) = 95°C

temperature after half hour of cooling

T( t ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}

t = 30 minutes

T( 30 ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-30}{50}}

T( 30 ) = 20 + 75 \times 0.5488

T(30) = 61.16° C

average of first half hour will be equal to

T = \dfrac{1}{30-0}\int_0^30(20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}})\ dt

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20t - \dfrac{75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}}{\dfrac{1}{50}})]_0^30

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20t - 3750e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}]_0^30

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20\times 30 - 3750 e^{\dfrac{-30}{50}} + 3750]

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[600 - 2058.04 + 3750]

T = 76.39°C

Two forces are acting on an object, but the net force on the object is O N. For the net
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

  A.  The forces are the same size and in opposite directions.

Explanation:

Just as an opposite number will cancel a number: -1 +1 = 0, so an opposite force will cancel a force, with the result that the net is zero.
