As a projectile moves down its vertical velocity is positive?

Physics
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
7 0

When YOU start working on a problem, if the question doesn't TELL you which direction is positive and which is negative, then YOU get to decide before you start solving the problem.

MOST often, people use positive for UP and negative for DOWN, just because that's the way we naturally think of 'up' and 'down'.  But there's no law.  If you want to, you can just as well call up 'negative' and call down 'positive'.

We know that every object exerts an attraction on every other object and the heavier the object ___ the attraction.
hichkok12 [17]
I don't know what the exact word is, but I do know that the bigger an objects mass is the more it will attract other objects toward it, mainly smaller objects with less mass. it might be gravity or something around those lines....is it a multiple choice question?

A race car moving along a circular track has a centripetal acceleration of 15.4 m/s? If the car has
Helen [10]

Answer:

r = 58.44 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation that relates the centripetal acceleration with the tangential velocity and the radius of rotation.

a = v²/r

where:

a = centripetal acceleration = 15.4 [m/s²]

v = tangential speed = 30 [m/s]

r = radius or distance [m]

r = v²/a

r = 30²/15.4

r = 58.44 [m]

A 782.10 kg car is brought from 7.60 m/s to 3.61 m/s over a time period of 4.23 seconds. What is the average force the car exper
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

–735.17 N

The negative sign indicate that the force is acting in opposition direction to the car.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) of car = 782.10 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 7.60 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.61 m/s

Time (t) = 4.23 s

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 7.60 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.61 m/s

Time (t) = 4.23 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (3.61 – 7.60) / 4.23

a = –3.99 / 4.23

a = –0.94 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the force experienced by the car as shown below:

Mass (m) of car = 782.10 kg

Acceleration (a) = –0.94 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 782.10 × –0.94

F = –735.17 N

The negative sign indicate that the force is acting in opposition direction to the car.
