Answer:

When the velocity doesn't change its direction

Explanation:

Since velocity vector has 2 components: direction and magnitude, and speed is the velocity's magnitude. So if the velocity doesn't change its direction, we essentially use its magnitude, aka speed, to calculate the rate of change for acceleration.

Answer:

When direction does not change or is not involved/required.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the time rate of change in velocity. This is because like velocity, acceleration is a vector quantity and has to do with change in direction. But then, a particle can still accelerate without a change in direction. In this case, acceleration can be defined as the time rate of change of speed. This is because, since direction is not involved, speed which is a scalar quantity, has nothing to do with direction.

In essence, speed and velocity are the same when direction is not involved or when direction is not changing. Therefore, in the definition of acceleration, if there are no regards for direction, speed can be used in place of velocity.

Can someone help??
Paul [167]

Answer:

F = 2520 N

Explanation:

We have,

The maximum acceleration of a fist in a karate punch is 4200 m/s². The mass of the fist is 0.6 kg.

It is required to find the force that the wood place on the fist. Force is given by the product of mass and its acceleration such that,

F = ma

F=0.6\times 4200\\\\F=2520\ N

So, the force of 2520 N is acting on the wood.

Superman stops a "speeding locomotive" of mass 8.0x103 kg in 4.0 seconds. If the train was originally moving at 40.m/s,
madreJ [45]

Hello!

<em>a) What is the change in momentum</em>?

The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.

We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:

\boxed{a=\frac{V-Vi}{t} }

Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:

a = \dfrac{0m/s-40m/s}{4s}

a = \dfrac{-40m/s}{4s}

a = -10\ m/s^{2}

Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of <u>-10 m/s^2.</u>

If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.

<em>b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?</em>

For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:

\boxed{F=ma}

Lets replace and resolve it:

F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = -80 000 N

The force applicated is of <u>-80000 Newtons.</u>

When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.
