A star's transverse velocity depends on which two factors?

Why is accelration negative when velocity is positive.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

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).

Effieiency of simple machine is always less than 100% why

zysi [14]

Answer:

efficiency of a machine is less than 100% because some part is energy is utilized to overcome some opposing forces like friction which is wasted as heat ,sound energy etc

The forces in (Figure 1) are acting on a 1.0 kg object.What is ax , the x -component of the object's acceleration

a_sh-v [17]

The x -component of the object's acceleration is 2 m/s².

<h3>What's the resultant force along x- direction?</h3>

Forces along x axis direction are as follows

4N along +x axis, so it's taken as +4 N
2N along -x axis , so it's taken as -2N.

Resultant force along x direction = 4N - 2N = 2 N which is along + ve x direction.

<h3>What's the acceleration along x axis direction?</h3>

As per Newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration of the object
Force along x axis= mass × acceleration along x axis= 2N
Acceleration = 2/ mass = 2/1 = 2 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration along x axis is 2 m/s².

Why is the weight of the ruler not include in the calculation of moment?

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Since the distance between the pivot and its weight is zero, the moment of its weight about the pivot (= weight × 0) is zero. Hence, the weight of the ruler can be ignored.

Hope this helps:)

"In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the separation between slits is d and the screen is a distance D from the slits. D is much

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is, $x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

Explanation:

If d is the separation between slits, D is the distance between the slit and the screen and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light. Let x is the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is given by :

$x=\dfrac{n\lambda D}{d}$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

n is the order

If n = 1,

$x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

So, the the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is $\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$ . Hence, the correct option is (B).
