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).

Mark creates a graphic organizer to review his notes about electrical force. Which labels belong in the regions marked X and Y?
sveta [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

The question requires as well the attached image, so please see that below.

Coulomb's Law.

The electrical force can be understood by remembering Coulomb's Law, that  describes the electrostatic force between two charged particles. If the particles have charges q_1 and q_2, are separated by a distance r and are at rest relative to each other, then its electrostatic force magnitude on particle 1 due particle 2 is given by:

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

Thus if we decrease the distance by half we have

r_1 =\cfrac r2

So we get

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r_1^2}

Replacing we get

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{(r/2)^2}\\|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2/4}

We can then multiply both numerator and denominator by 4 to get

|F|=k \cfrac{4q_1 q_2}{r^2}

So we have

|F|=4 \left(k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}\right)

Thus if we decrease the distance by half we get four times the force.

Then we can replace the second condition

q_{2new} =2q_2

So we get

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 q_{2new}}{r_1^2}

which give us

|F|=k \cfrac{q_1 2q_2}{r_1^2}\\|F|=2\left(k \cfrac{q_1 q_2}{r_1^2}\right)

Thus doubling one of the charges doubles the force.

So the answer is A.

While flying at an altitude of 5.75 km, you look out the window at various objects on the ground. If your ability to distinguish
Bingel [31]

Answer:

the smallest separation between two objects is 0.8067 m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Altitude h = 5.75 km = 5750 m

Diameter D = 4.0 mm = 0.004 m

λ = 460 nm = 4.6 × 10⁻⁷ m

Now, Using Rayleigh criterion for Airy disks resolution.

we know that, Minimum angular separation for resolving two points is;

θ = 1.22λ / D

so we substitute

θ = (1.22 × 4.6 × 10⁻⁷)  / 0.004

θ = 5.612 × 10⁻⁷ / 0.004

θ = 1.403 × 10⁻⁴ rad  

so minimum separation d_{min =  θh

so we substitute

d_{min = (1.403 × 10⁻⁴) × 5750 m

d_{min = 0.8067 m

Therefore, the smallest separation between two objects is 0.8067 m

3. If the distance of the screen is moved from 100. cm to 200. cm the area of light would in-crease from 150. cm^2 to
german

Answer:

3) C

4 D

5) C

Explanation:

3) given that

Initial distance of the screen = 100cm

Initial area = 150 cm^2

Final distance = 200 cm

The intensity of light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. That is

Intensity of light I = 1/d2

And also I = P/A

1/d^2 = P/A

P = A/d^2

P1 = P2

150/100 = A/200

1.5 = A/200

A = 1.5 × 200

A = 300 cm^2

4.) Light is projected onto a screen 75.0 cm from a light source. The light intensity = 4436 lux

If the screen is moved from 75.0 cm to 150. cm, the light sensor reading will be

Using inverse square law

I = 1/d^2

I×d^2 = constant. Therefore,

4436 × 75^2 = I × 150^2

I = 24952500/22500

I = 1109 lux

5.) We can express the relationship between luminosity, brightness, and distance with a simple formula.

As we tilt the serene the area of light decreases and makes the light more concentrated.
