Why is the answer B for this question? I know acceleration should be negative down but I don't know the other two variables.

Answer:

B  

Explanation:

Displacement, velocity, and acceleration are vectors: they have magnitude and direction.

The convention is that "down" is negative and "up" is positive.

Thus, if an object is higher than when it started, its displacement is positive. If it is lower, the displacement is negative.

If it is still going "up", its velocity is positive. If it is falling, its velocity is negative.

1. Displacement

The formula for vertical displacement is

Δy = v₀t - ½gt²

If v₀ = 30 m/s, t = 2 s, and g = 9.8 m·s⁻², then

\begin{array}{rcl}\Delta y & = & 30 \times2 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times2^{2}\\& = & 60 - 4.9 \times 4\\& = & 60 - 19.6\\& = & \mathbf{40.4}\\\end{array}\\\text{The displacement is}\textbf{ up}}

2. Velocity

The formula for vertical velocity is

v = v₀ - gt

If v₀ = 30 m/s, t = 2 s, and g = 9.8 m·s⁻², then

\begin{array}{rcl}v & = & 30 - 9.8 \times 2\\& = & 30 - 19.6\\& = & \mathbf{10.4}\\\end{array}\\\text{The velocity is}\textbf{ up}}

3. Acceleration

The  vertical acceleration is always -g = -9.8 m·s⁻².

The direction of the acceleration is down.

The only option with the sequence "up, up, down" is B.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

a is the acceleration

μ is the coefficient of friction

Acceleration of the object is given by

a = g (\sin  \theta -\mu \cos \theta)\\\\=10( \sin 30 - 0.4 \cos 30)\\\\=10(0.5-0.3464)\\\\=1.54m/s^2

Velocity at the bottom

v^2=u^2+2as\\\\u=0\\\\v^2=2as\\\\=2*1.54*8\\\\=24.576\\\\v=4.96m/s

after travelling 4m , its velocity becomes 0

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\frac{0-u^2}{2s}

a=\frac{-(-4.96)^2}{2*4} \\\\=-3.075m/s^2

Coefficient of kinetic friction

μ = F/N

=\frac{ma}{mg} \\\\=\frac{3.075}{10} \\\\=0.31

Therefore, the Coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.31

The human body is a system of systems that rely on each other to sustain a life. Explain how.
Misha Larkins [42]
The human body is connected in every way. All the organs are connected and help each other be alive. For example, the veins are connected to the heart, which help it by pumping blood and oxygen. If they weren’t there, the heart wouldn’t be able to sustain a life.
I really hope this gave you and ideas and helped you in some way:)

Liula [17]

Answer:D.Refractive Indez

Explanation:

It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".
