Can instantaneous velocity ever be negative?

Physics

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.

You move a 25 n object 4 meters. find the work you did
d1i1m1o1n [39]
In physics, "work<span>" is when a force applied to an object moves the object in the same direction as the force. If someone pushes against a wall, no </span>work<span> is done on the system. It is calculated as follows:

Work = Force x distance
Work = 25 N x 4 meters
Work = 100 N.m</span>

Two identical trucks have mass 5100 kg when empty, and the maximum permissible load for each is 8000 kg. the first truck, carryi
Oksanka [162]
<span>The 2nd truck was overloaded with a load of 16833 kg instead of the permissible load of 8000 kg. The key here is the conservation of momentum. For the first truck, the momentum is 0(5100 + 4300) The second truck has a starting momentum of 60(5100 + x) And finally, after the collision, the momentum of the whole system is 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) So let's set the equations for before and after the collision equal to each other. 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) And solve for x, first by adding the constant terms 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Getting rid of the zero term 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Distribute the 60 and the 42. 60*5100 + 60x = 42*14500 + 42x 306000 + 60x = 609000 + 42x Subtract 42x from both sides 306000 + 18x = 609000 Subtract 306000 from both sides 18x = 303000 And divide both sides by 18 x = 16833.33 So we have the 2nd truck with a load of 16833.33 kg, which is well over it's maximum permissible load of 8000 kg. Let's verify the results by plugging that mass into the before and after collision momentums. 60(5100 + 16833.33) = 60(21933.33) = 1316000 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + 16833.33) = 42(31333.33) = 1316000 They match. The 2nd truck was definitely over loaded.</span>
