Can instantaneous velocity ever be negative?

Physics
2 answers:
kirill115 [55]3 years ago
6 0

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.

These are intense, rotating convectional systems that develop over warm ocean areas in the tropics and subtropics, primarily dur
asambeis [7]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

During the late summers the SST (sea surface temperature) rises the most which made the wind above the sea moist and warm. Global warming is also one of the cause of the rise in sea surface temperatures. Then the Coriolis effect due to the earth's rotation make these winds to rotate which results in the formation of the cyclones mostly in the areas near to equator.

What is the resultant displacement of the two vectors below?
andriy [413]

Answer:

C 3.6 cm, 56 degrees North of the East axis

Explanation:

The two vectors are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the magnitude of their resultant simply by using the Pythagorean theorem:

R=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}

where

A = 2.0 cm is the magnitude of the first vector

B = 3.0 cm is the magnitude of the second vector

Substituting,

R=\sqrt{2^2+3^2}=3.6 cm

Now we have to find the angle. If we measure the angle as North of East, the tangent of the angle is equal to the ratio between the component along North and the component along East. Therefore, in this case:

tan \theta = \frac{B}{A}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5\\\theta = tan^{-1}(1.5)=56.3 \sim 56^{\circ}

So, 56 degrees North of East.

9. From the densities below, decide whether each substance will sink or float in sea water. Sea water
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Gasoline will float

Asphalt will sink

Cork will float

Explanation:

Simply compare the value of each object's density to that of the sea water (1.025 g/ml). If the density of the object is less than that of the water, the object will float due to the buoyance force.

Contrarily, if the density of the object is larger than that of sea water, the object will sink.

Gasoline, with density 0.66 g/ml which is less than that of sea water, will float.

Gasoline, with density 1.2 g/ml which is more than that of sea water, will sink.

Cork, with density 0.26 g/ml which is less than that of sea water, will float.
