The answer is letter C. <span>A train travels from the bottom of a hill to the top of a hill, its moves slower by the time it reaches the top is an example of negative acceleration.

In physics, acceleration can be described as an objects change of velocity. When an object gains velocity, it is positive acceleration, and negative acceleration for the opposite.

<span>Negative Acceleration is when the acceleration of an object slows down, like throwing something in the air. It will get slower going up, and then it will stop, that is the negative acceleration, and then the object will come back down, and will speed up, which is positive acceleration.

A car travels 100 m while decelerating to 8 m/s in 5 s.<br> a) What was its initial speed?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Vi = 32 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the following the two following kinematics equations.

v_{f} =v_{i} - (a*t)\\

The negative sign of the second term of the equation means that the velocity decreases, as indicated in the problem.

where:

Vf = final velocity = 8[m/s]

Vi = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration = [m/s^2]

t = time = 5 [s]

Now replacing:

8 = Vi - 5*a

Vi = (8 + 5*a)

As we can see we have two unknowns the initial velocity and the acceleration, so we must use a second kinematics equation.

v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - (2*a*d)

where:

d = distance = 100[m]

(8^2) = (8 + 5*a)^2 - (2*a*100)

64 = (64 + 80*a + 25*a^2) - 200*a

0 = 80*a - 200*a + 25*a^2

0 = - 120*a + 25*a^2

0 = 25*a(a - 4.8)

therefore:

a = 0 or a = 4.8 [m/s^2]

We choose the value of 4.8 as the acceleration value, since the zero value would not apply.

Returning to the first equation:

8 = Vi - (4.8*5)

Vi = 32 [m/s]

What is 34 + (5) × (1.2465) written with the correct number of significant figures?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: 40

Explanation:

= 34 + 5 * 1.2465

= ‭40.2325‬

= 40

The number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as the number with the least number of significant figures that any of the digits in the equation have.

32 has 2 significant figures so the answer has to be 2 significant figures which is 40.

A young kid of mass m = 36 kg is swinging on a swing. The length from the top of the swing set to the seat is L = 3.5 m. The boy
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy=36 kg

length of swing=3.5 m

Let T be the tension in the swing

At top point mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

where v=velocity needed to complete circular path

Th-resold velocity is given by mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{9.8\times 3.5}=5.85 m/s

So apparent weight of boy will be zero at top when it travels with a velocity of v=\sqrt{gr}

To get the velocity at bottom conserve energy at Top and bottom

At top E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}

Energy at Bottom E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

Comparing two as energy is conserved

v_0^2=4gl+gl

v_0^2=5gL

v_0=\sqrt{5gL}=13.09 m/s

Apparent weight at bottom is given by

W=\frac{mv_0^2}{L}-mg=\frac{36\times 13.09^2}{3.5}+36\times 9.8=2115.23 N
