Complete question is;

Consider a bus traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement concerning its acceleration in the x direction is correct

a) The bus is decelerating and its acceleration is positive.

b) The bus is decelerating, and its acceleration is negative.

c) The acceleration is zero.

d) A statement cannot be made using the information given.

Answer:

Option A - bus is decelerating and acceleration is positive.

Explanation:

We are told that the bus is travelling in (negative x direction) and begins to slow down. Since the bus is slowing down, it means that the bus is undergoing a negative acceleration which is called deceleration.

Thus, the bus is decelerating.

Since it is moving in the negative x-axis, it means acceleration is now; -(-a) which gives +a.

Thus, bus is decelerating and acceleration is positive.

A ball rolls up a ramp with a velocity of 8.0 m/s. How high up the ramp does it travel?
Flura [38]

The greatest height the ball will attain is 3.27 m

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 8 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Maximum height (h) =?

The maximum height to which the ball can attain can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 8² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 64 – 19.6h

Collect like terms

0 – 64 = –19.6h

–64 = –19.6h

Divide both side by –19.6

h = –64 / –19.6h

h = 3.27 m

Thus, the greatest height the ball can attain is 3.27 m

a baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. the carriage with the baby has a mass of 1.5 kg. the carriage
Serga [27]
Height of baby carriage from ground = 21m

Mass of carriage with baby = 1.5 kg

The carriage has potential energy by virtue of its height.

Potential energy = mgh = 1.5×10×21 = 315 J

Hence, potential energy of the carriage is 315 Joule.

What are three physical properties of gases
NikAS [45]

Answer:   Gases have three characteristic properties: (1) they are easy to compress, (2) they expand to fill their containers, and (3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.
