What do you mean by negative acceleration? can an accelerating automobile starting from rest have a negative acceleration

Physics
1 answer:
Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The acceleration tells us how the speed changes per unit of time. If we say a body has a negative acceleration we are saying that its speed decreases over time.

If a body has a positive initial velocity and a negative acceleration: the velocity decreases. On the contrary, if the automobile has a negative initial velocity (in the opposite direction) and a negative acceleration: the velocity is increasing. Thus, an accelerating automobile starting from rest can have a negative acceleration.

A wall with a surface area of 10 m2 is 2.5 cm thick. The inner surface temperature of the wall is 4150C, but the outer surface i
klio [65]

Answer:

650.65 K or 377.5°C

Explanation:

Area = A = 10 m²

Thickness of wall = L = 2.5 cm = 2.5×10⁻² m

Inner surface temperature of wall = T_i = 415°C = 688.15 K

Outer surface temperature of wall = T_o

Heat loss through the wall = 3 kW = 3×10³ W

Thermal conductivity of wall = k = 0.2 W/m K

Assumptions made here as follows

  1. There is not heat generation in the wall itself
  2. The heat conduction is one dimensional
  3. Heat flow follows steady state
  4. The material has same properties in all directions i.e., it is homogeneous.

Considering the above assumptions we use the following formula

Q=\frac {T_i-T_o}{\frac{L}{kA}}\\\Rightarrow T_o=T_i-\frac {QL}{kA}\\\Rightarrow T_o=688.15-\frac {3\times 10^{3}\times 2.5\times 10^{-2}}{0.2\times 10}\\\Rightarrow T_o=650.65~K

∴ The temperature of the outer surface of the wall is 650.65 K or 377.5°C

A 10 kg gun recoils with a speed of 0.1 m/s after it fires a 0.001 kg bullet. What is the speed of the bullet?
Kitty [74]

As we know that here gun + bullet system is isolated from all other external force system

so here the momentum of system is always conserved

so we will say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

here we know that

v_{1i} = v_{2i} = 0

m_1 = 10 kg

m_2 = 0.001kg

v_{1f} = 0.1 m/s

now we will have

0 + 0 = 10(0.1) + 0.001v_{2f}

by solving above equation we will have

v_{2f} = 1000 m/s
