Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?

1 answer:

4 0

D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

What factors affect the gravitational pull of two massive objects?

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:Mass and distance

Explanation:The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

Hope this helps!!

Why do streets and highways have speed limits rather than velocity limits?

andrew11 [14]

They actually DO have velocity limits. There are legal restrictions on both speed and direction.

-- Speeds are limited according to the black numbers on white signs that you see on sign-posts everywhere.

-- Directions are limited by the layout of the pavement and curbs on all the highways, avenues, roads, boulevards and streets, as well as the countless signs that say "One Way", "No Left Turn", "Keep Right", "Keep Left", etc. Violate one of these, and you get nailed as sure as if you had exceeded a posted speed limit.

A particle traveling in a circular path of radius 300 m has an instantaneous velocity of 30 m/s and its velocity is increasing a

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

5 m/s2

Explanation:

The total acceleration of the circular motion is made of 2 components: centripetal acceleration and linear acceleration of 4 m/s2. They are perpendicular to each other.

The centripetal acceleration is the ratio of instant velocity squared and the radius of the circle

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{30^2}{300} = \frac{900}{300} = 3 m/s^2$

So the magnitude of the total acceleration is

$a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_l^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 m/s^2$

A small charged bead has a mass of 1.9 g . it is held in a uniform electric field e⃗ = (200,000 n/c, up). when the bead is relea

dmitriy555 [2]

As we know that when charge is released in electric field

It will have two forces on it

1. electrostatic force

2. gravitational force

now if the ball will accelerate upwards so we can say

net upward force = mass * acceleration

$qE - mg = ma$

$q*200000 - 1.9 * 10^{-3}* 9.8 = 1.9 * 10^{-3}* 15$

now we can find charge q on it by above equation

$q = 0.2356 * 10^{-6} C$

So above is the charge on the particle
