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'.

Acceleration occurs whenever an ___________________ force acts on an object.
leonid [27]
Acceleration occurs whenever the forces on an object are unbalanced.

It's the group of forces on the object that's either balanced or unbalanced.
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

Why would ash from a volcano make the temperature drop?
Komok [63]
First, volcanic eruptions produce major quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas known to contribute to the greenhouse effect. ... The small ash particles decrease the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth and lower average global temperatures.

1L of a solution of oxalic acid [(). ] contains 2.52g of acid.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

0.028 M.

Explanation:

NOTE: This question is a chemistry question. However, the answer to the question can be obtained as shown below:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 2.52 g of oxalic acid, C₂H₂O₄. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of C₂H₂O₄ = 2.52 g

Molar mass of C₂H₂O₄ = (2×12) + (2×1) + (4×16)

= 24 + 2 + 64

= 90 g/mol

Mole of C₂H₂O₄ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of C₂H₂O₄ = 2.52 / 90

Mole of C₂H₂O₄ = 0.028 mole

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of C₂H₂O₄ = 0.028 mole

Volume = 1 L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity = 0.028 / 1

Molarity = 0.028 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 0.028 M.

Which best explains how an object at rest deep in space and far from any massive body behaves compared to an object in free fall
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: They behave the same because, according to the principle of equivalence, the laws of physics work the same in all frames of reference.

Explanation:

According to the equivalence principle postulated by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, acceleration in space and gravity on Earth have the same effects on objects.

To understand it better, regarding to the equivalence principle, Einstein formulated the following:  

A gravitational force and an acceleration in the opposite direction are equivalent, both have indistinguishable effects.  Because the laws of physics must be accomplished in all frames of reference.

Hence, according to general relativity, gravitational force and acceleration in the opposite direction (an object in free fall, for example) have the same effect.  This makes sense if we deal with gravity not as a mysterious atractive force but as a geometric effect of matter on spacetime that causes its deformation.
