Rana writes a summary about a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion as it moves upward from the equilibrium position toward

the maximum positive displacement. As the mass moves upward, the velocity is positive and decreasing while the acceleration is negative and decreasing. What error did Rana make?

The error is in saying that the acceleration is decreasing.


The statements says that the mass is moving from the equilibrium position toward the maximum positive displacement. That means that the mass is moving away from the equilibrium position.


As per the law of Hooke the force exerted by the spring is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium, which means that the further is the spring from the position of equilibrim the greaer the force.


So, when the mass is moving away from the equilibrium position the force exerted by the spring on the mass is increasing.


Now you should see the mistake, because F = m*a when F (force) increases, a (acceleration) also increases. So it is a mistake saying that the acceleration is decreasing.

** PLEASE PLEASE HELP A student uses the right-hand rule as shown.
guapka [62]

As per right hand thumb rule if we put our thumb of right hand along the current in the wire then curl of fingers will show the direction of magnetic field.

So here as we can see the fingers in the above case is curled such that in front position its showing towards right.

So the direction of magnetic field near the student in front position must be towards Right.

irina [24]

Answer:

F = 100 N

Explanation:

The torque is given by the expression

      τ = F x r

where bold letters indicate vectors, the magnitude of this expression is

     τ = F r sin θ

In general, when tightening a nut, the force is applied perpendicular to the arm, therefore  θ = 90 and sin 90 = 1

      τ = F r

      F = τ / r

calculate

      F = 30 / 0.30

      F = 100 N

Which of acceleration, age, speed, temperature, and velocity are vector quantities?.
ollegr [7]

Velocity and acceleration are vector quantities whereas speed, temperature and age are not.

<h3>What is a vector quantity?</h3>

Vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction and is represented by an arrow whose direction is same as that of the quantity and length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude.

Vector has magnitude and direction but it does not have position. Velocity and acceleration both are vector quantities as they have magnitude and direction.

If the speed of an object remains same but direction changes then the object is accelerating. It is important to remember that acceleration and velocity aren't always in the same direction.
