Sure. The acceleration may be decreasing, but as long as it stays
in the same direction as the velocity, the velocity increases.
I think you meant to ask whether the body can have increasing velocity
with negative acceleration. That answer isn't simple either.
If the body's velocity is in the positive direction, then positive acceleration
means speeding up, and negative acceleration means slowing down.
BUT ... If the body's velocity is in the negative direction, then positive
acceleration means slowing down, and negative acceleration means
speeding up.
I know that's confusing.
-- Take a piece of scratch paper, write a 'plus' sign at one edge and
a 'minus' sign at the other edge. Those are the definitions of which
direction is positive and which direction is negative.
-- Then sketch some cars ... one traveling in the positive direction, and
one driving in the negative direction. Those are the directions of the
velocities.
-- Now, one car at a time:
. . . . . first push on the back of the car, in the direction it's moving;.
. . . . . then push on the front of the car, against its motion.
Each push causes the car to accelerate in the direction of the push.
When you see it on paper, all the positive and negative velocities
and accelerations will come clear for you.
Answer/Explanation:
The weight of an object is defined as the force that is exerted due to the gravitational force.
Mathematically, it can be written as :
W = m g
Where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Also,
We know that the value of g varies with respect to the location. At the equator, the value of g is less as compared to the poles.
The feature of an object that affects its weight are :
Mass of the object
Location of the object
How much force Earth exerts on the object
Use KE= 1/2mv^2
So...
50,000=(.5)(1,000)v^2
50,000=500 x v^2
Divide 500 on both sides
100 = v^2
Square root both sides to get rid of v^2
Therefore v = 10 m/s
The answer is m/s hope it helps
Answer:
V = 42.41cm^3
Explanation:
In order to calculate the volume of the solid, you use the following formula:
where
r: radius of the circular base of the cone = 3 cm
h: height from the circular base to the peak of the cone = 4.5 cm
You replace the values of r and h in the formula for the volume V:
hence, the volume of the solid is 42.41 cm^3
