Can an object be accelerated while traveling at constant velocity? Why or why not?

Physics
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes. If an object's velocity is constant, however, its acceleration will be zero.

A long, straight, vertical wire carries a current upward. due east of this wire, in what direction does the magnetic field point
Solnce55 [7]
(I assume that the 4 directions north-south-east-west are meant with respect to the wire seen from the top.)

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the magnetic field generated by the wire. The thumb follows the direction of the current in the wire (upward), while  the other fingers give the direction of the field in every point around the wire. Seen from the top, the field has an anti-clockwise direction. Therefore, if we take a point at east with respect to the wire, in this point the field has direction south.

A meteor is
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

A meteor is  B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.

Explanation:

Meteors are very small dust particles that, when penetrating into the Earth's atmosphere, burn quickly by rubbing with the gases of the same. Some meteors, those with larger dimensions and appreciable weights, are brighter and can describe longer trajectories, showing longer.

In other words, the meteoroids, celestial bodies can vary in size between 100 micrometers up to 50 meters, they collide with the atmosphere of our planet and if the particles are of a small size, upon impact they enter combustion creating a flash, is what we know as meteor or shooting star. Therefore, the meteor is a luminous phenomenon that leaves behind a persistent trail.

So, <u><em>a meteor is  B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.</em></u>

If a car is traveling eastward, can its acceleration be westward?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Yes it can. It may be a bit counterintuitive but if the car is slowing down, even if it's traveling east, its acceleration is toward the west because it's decelerating and slowing down.

A circular flat coil that has N turns, encloses an area A, and carries a current i has its central axis parallel to a uniform ma
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Torque on the coil will be ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic moment of the closed current carrying coil is always along its axis and it is given as

M = N i A

now we know that magnetic field is also along the axis of the coil so here as we know the equation of torque given as

\tau = \vec M \times \vec B

so we have

\tau = M B sin0

\tau = 0
