Increasing

Explanation:

If a ship is moving forward and has a positive acceleration, we can say that the velocity of the ship is increasing.

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement of a body with time.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

Acceleration = $\frac{change in velocity }{time}$

If a ship is moving with positive acceleration, the velocity of the ship is increasing also.

This is because when velocity is increasing, the change will be positive.
From the equation, to have positive velocity, the final velocity must be greater than the initial one.
With this, acceleration will be positive.
So we can say, velocity of the ship is increasing.

An 3.7 lb hammer head, traveling at 5.8 ft/s strikes a nail and is brought to a stop in 0.00068 s. The acceleration of gravity i

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

31677.2 lb

Explanation:

mass of hammer (m) = 3.7 lb

initial velocity (u) = 5.8 ft/s

final velocity (v) = 0

time (t) = 0.00068 s

acceleration due to gravity (g) 32 ft/s^{2}

force = m x ( a + g )

where

m is the mass = 3.7 lb
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s^{2}
a is the acceleration of the hammer

from v = u + at

a = (v-u)/ t

a = (0-5.8)/0.00068 = -8529.4 ( the negative sign showa the its decelerating)

we can substitute all required values into force= m x (a+g)

force = 3.7 x (8529.4 + 32) = 31677.2 lb

5. 3 women push a stalled car. Each woman pushes with a 400N force. What is the mass of the car if the car accelerates at 0.85 m

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The the mass of the car can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{400}{0.85} \\ = 470.58823...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Two pool balls, each moving at 2 m/s, roll toward each other and collide. Suppose after bouncing apart, each moves at 2 m/s. Thi

stira [4]

Answer:D

Explanation:according to the law of conservation of energy/momentum, when two bodies collides, their total momentum and energy before and after collision are equal. Given that the two bodies move with the same velocities after collision, means that the law has not been violated since momentum = mass x velocity (where mass is constant)
