Answer:

yes, explained

Explanation:

The instantaneous velocity of an object can be negative. Even though the average velocity of the object in an entire trip is positive, the instantaneous velocity can be negative if the object is moving in negative direction. This direction depends upon the observer. If he considers direction away from him in the right as positive then the direction towards him in the left is negative.

Instantaneous velocity in definition is the average velocity in given particular moment time. Hence, it underlies the context of each velocity at each occupied time and space at that particular moment where you are. Moreover, talking about velocity is vector quantity, which means it both has magnitude and direction. Furthermore, this positive and negative sign attributed to their number means only the specific direction in which the object is going. For example in analogy to average velocity, the initial position of the object at the moment is 2 m/s to the right then the object suddenly changes his position to 3 m/s to the left as his final position. Which is, the exact opposite of the former direction then indicates that the final position is negative, contrary to the initial direction. Just remember that the negative values connoted on the numbers can indicate the opposite direction of either the initial position or an object is downward.

Never too early to start searching. Do some research about student savings versus parent savings though. If a student has savings, they will make you use it to pay for college, while the same amount of savings in the parents name may be exempt. Check it out.

So, RCF, or relative centrifugal force should be equal to RCF = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=11%2C18%2Ar%2A%28RPM%2F1000%29

After plugging all the data into the equation, the result of the relative centrifugal force (RCF) is measured in terms of g.

<h3>What is relative centrifugal force?</h3>

The relative centrifugal force (RCF) or the g force is the radial force generated by the spinning rotor as expressed relative to the earth's gravitational force.

RCF = ac/g
