What occurs any time an object speeds up, slows down, or changes directions

Physics

Svetlanka [38]3 years ago

Whenever the motion of an object <em><u>changes</u></em> . . . speeding up, or slowing down,
or changing direction . . . that change is called "<em><u>acceleration</u></em>".  Acceleration is
produced by force on the object. 

If there is <em><u>no force</u></em> on the object, then there is no acceleration.  That means that
its motion <em><u>doesn't change</u></em>.  The object remains in constant, uniform motion ...
moving with steady speed, in a straight line. 

No force is necessary to <em><u>keep</u></em> an object moving, only to <em><u>change</u></em> its motion.

8. During the last few kilometers of a marathon, runners play mental games to test each
o-na [289]

Answer:

The runner's average acceleration is 0.102 m/s²

Explanation:

The runner accelerates from 5 m/s to 5.2 m/s and covering 10 m

We need to find the runner's average acceleration

The given is:

→ Initial velocity 5 m/s

→ Final velocity 5.2 m/s

→ Distance 10 meters

→ Acceleration ?

We need a suitable rule for the given

→ v² = u² + 2 a s

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration

and s is the distance

Substitute the values above in the rule

→ (5.2)² = (5)² + 2 a (10)

→ 27.04 = 25 + 20 a

Subtract 25 from both sides

→2.04 = 20 a

Divide both sides by 20

→ a = 0.102 m/s²

<em>The runner's average acceleration is 0.102 m/s²</em>

Suppose a distant world with surface gravity of 5.20 m/s2 has an atmospheric pressure of 7.16 ✕ 104 Pa at the surface. (a) What
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

899752.13598 N

Explanation:

p = Pressure on the plate = 7.16\times 10^4\ Pa

A = Area = \pi r^2=\pi 2^2=\pi 4

F = Force on the region

When force is divided by area we get pressure

p=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow F=p\times A\\\Rightarrow F=7.16\times 10^4\times \pi 4\\\Rightarrow F=899752.13598\ N

Force is exerted by the atmosphere on a disk-shaped region is 899752.13598 N
