If a subway train is moving to the left (has a negative velocity) and then comes to a stop, what is the direction of its acceler

ation? Is the acceleration positive or negative?
Physics

Answer:

Negative acceleration

Explanation:

We know that

v= u+at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity velocity

a is the acceleration

t is time

When final velocity of train will be zero .

v=0

0= u+at

a=- u/t

So from above we can say that acceleration will be negative .When acceleration is positive then train will never come in rest position.

A cruise ship sails due south at 2.50 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 19.0° north of west at 4.80 m/s. What are the x-
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent the velocity of cruise ship and coast guard petrol boat in vector form .

velocity of cruise ship

Vcs = - 2.5 j

Vpb =  - 4.8 cos 19 i + 4.8 sin 19 j = - 4.54 i + 1.56 j

velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat

= Vcs - Vpb

=  - 2.5 j - ( - 4.54 i + 1.56 j  )

=  - 2.5 j  +  4.54 i -   1.56 j  

= 2.04 i - 1.56 j .

x-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat

= 2.04 m /s

y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat

= - 1.56 m /s .

A hiker is at the bottom of a canyon facing the canyon wall closest to her. She is 790.5 meters from the wall and the sound of h
tester [92]

Answer:

4.80 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of sound is obtained from;

V= 2d/t

Where;

V= velocity of sound = 329.2 ms-1

d= distance from the wall = 790.5 m

t= time = the unknown

t= 2d/V

t= 2 × 790.5/ 329.2

t= 4.80 seconds
