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

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.

When would you use a compound microscope?

Vladimir [108]

a compound microscope is used for viewing samples at high magnification<span> 40 - 1000x, which is achieved by the combined effect of two sets of lenses: the ocular lens in the eyepiece and the objective lenses close to the sample.</span>

What will be the final velocity of a rock if we drop it off of a bridge and it strikes the ground 2.8s later (ignoring air resis

mars1129 [50]

Formula for final velocity: Vf= vi+(a*t)
Vi- initial velocity, a=acceleration, t-time

Vf=vi+(at)
Vf= 0+(9.8m/s*2.8s)
Vf= 27.44 m/s

The acceleration of the Earth when dropping something would be 9.8 m/s

Here is an reference that can help you answer problems like these.
Hope this helps and good luck :)

Positive Charge Q is distributed uniformly along the x-axis from x=0 to x=a. A positive point charge q is located on the positiv

deff fn [24]

Answer:

electric field E = - k Q (1 /r(r-a)), force F = - k Q qo / r (r-a) and force for r>>a F ≈ - k Q qo / r²

Explanation:

You are asked to find the electric field of a continuous charge distribution, so we must use the equation

E = k ∫dp /r²

Where k is the Coulomb constant that is worth 8.99 10⁹ N m² / C², r is the distance between the load distribution and the test charge, in this case everything is on the X axis.

We must find the charge differential (dq), let's use that uniformly distributed and create a linear charge density

λ = q / x

As it is constant, we can write it based on differentials

λ = dq / dx

dq = λ dx

We already have all the terms, let's integrate enter its limits, lower the distance from the left end of the distribution to the test charge (x = r) and the upper limit that is the distance from the left end of distribution to the test load ( x = r - a) where r> a

E = k ∫ λ dx / x²

E = k la (- 1 / x)

Let's get the negative sign from the parentheses

E = - k λ (1 / x)

E = - k λ (1 /(r-a) -1 /r) = - k λ [a / r (r-a)]

Let's change the charge density with the value of the total charge λ = Q / a

E = - k Q/a [a / r (r-a)]

E = - k Q (1 /r(r-a))

b) We calculate the force.

F = E qo

F = - k Q qo / r (r-a)

c) the force for charge porbe very far r >> a. In this case we can take r from the parentheses and neglect (a/r)

F = - k Qqo / r² (1 - a/r)

F ≈ - k Q qo / r²

2. A Plate 0.02 mm distance from a fixed Plate moves at a velocity Of 0.6mls and requires a force of 1.962 N Per unit area to ma

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Pa-s

Explanation:

Since the shear force, F = μAu/y where μ = viscosity of fluid between plates, A = area of plates, u = velocity of fluid = 0.6 m/s and y = separation of plates = 0.02 mm = 2 × 10⁻⁵ m

Since F = μAu/y

F/A = μu/y where F/A = force per unit area

Since we are given force per unit area, F/A = 1.962 N per unit area = 1.962 N/m²

So, μ = F/A ÷ u/y

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

μ = F/A ÷ u/y

μ = 1.962 N/m² ÷ 0.6 m/s/2 × 10⁻⁵ m

μ = 1.962 N/m² ÷ 0.3 × 10⁵ /s

μ = 6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Ns/m²

μ = 6.54 × 10⁻⁵ Pa-s
