Answer:

Vector

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. As velocity is a vector quantity, so acceleration is also a vector quantity.

If a car starts from rest and attains some velocity after some time, then car is accelerating and the firection of acceleration is same as the direction of velocity.

If a car is moving and after applying the brakes it come to rest it means the motion of car has negative acceleration which means the direction of velocity and the direction of acceleration is opposite to each other.

Acceleration is a vector because it has magnitude and direction

Example :
a Car stopping at the rate of 5 m/s. In this example, the direction of acceleration is the opposite of the direction of velocity, and the magnitude is 5 m/s

Hope this helps

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force that attracts two bodies (with a mass) towards each other. If an object has a higher mass, the gravitational pull will be greater.

According to Newton’s inverse square law:

"The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two bodies."

About this question, the greater the distance between two gravitating bodies, the weaker is the gravitational force between them.

liraira [26]

Answer: 8 meters per second

Explanation: If you add 60 to 20 you get 80 meters and since he ran those 80 meters in 10 seconds you divide 80 by ten and get 8 and then you get 8m/s

What is the mass of an object that has a weight of 110N ?

fgiga [73]

Weight (W) = 110 N
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2
Let the mass of the object be m.
By using the formula, W = mg, we get,
110 N = 9.8 m/s^2 × m
or, m = 110 N ÷ 9.8 m/s^2
or, m = 11.2 Kg

Answer:

The mass of the object is 11.2 Kg.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Positive electric charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere with radius R.From the express

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Vb = k Q / r r <R

Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²) r >R

Explanation:

The electic potential is defined by

ΔV = - ∫ E .ds

We calculate the potential in the line of the electric pipe, therefore the scalar product reduces the algebraic product

VB - VA = - ∫ E dr

Let's substitute every equation they give us and we find out

r> R

Va = - ∫ (k Q / r²) dr

-Va = - k Q (- 1 / r)

We evaluate with it Va = 0 for r = infinity

Vb = k Q / r r <R

We perform the calculation of the power with the expression of the electric field that they give us

Vb = - int (kQ / R3 r) dr

We integrate and evaluate from the starting point r = R to the final point r <R

Vb = ∫kq / R³ r dr

Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)

This is the electric field in the whole space, the places of interest are r = 0, r = R and r = infinity
