Explanation:

no because acceleration is scalar (no direction).

Answer: no

Explanation:

because the object is moving downwards so it will be  called decceleration . which is the opposite of acceleration .

A dime is placed in front of a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature R = 0.40 m. The image of the dime is inverted and t
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m

Given:

Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m

magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)

Solution:

Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = \frac{r}{2}

f = \frac{0.40}{2} = 0.20 m

Now,

m = - \frac{v}{u}

- 2 = -\frac{v}{u}

\frac{v}{u} = 2                  (2)

Now, by lens maker formula:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{u}

v = \frac{uf}{u - f}            (3)

From eqn (2):

v = 2u

put v = 2u in eqn (3):

2u = \frac{uf}{u - f}

2 = \frac{f}{u - f}

2(u - 0.20) = 0.20

u = 0.30 m

a child riding a bicycle at 15 meters per second accelerates at -3,0 meters per second? for 4.0 seconds. What is the child's spe
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

<h2> 27m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

initital velocity u=15m/s

deceleration a=3m/s^2

time t= 4 seconds

final velocity v= ?

Applying the expression

v=u+at------1

substituting our data into the expression we have

v=15+3*4

v=15+12

v=27m/s

The velocity after 4 seconds is 27m/s

A block slides down a frictionless incline with constant acceleration. After sliding 6.80 m down, it has a speed of 3.80 m/s. Wh
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

speed when the block had slid 3.40 m is 2.68 m/s

Explanation:

given data

distance = 6.80 m

speed = 3.80 m/s

to find out

speed when the block had slid 3.40 m

solution

we will apply here equation of motion that is

v²-u² = 2×a×s   ..............1

here s is distance, a is acceleration and v is speed and u is initial speed that is 0

so put here all value in equation 1 to get a

v²-u² = 2×a×s

3.80²-0 = 2×a×6.80

a = 1.06 m/s²

so

speed when distance 3.40 m

from equation 1 put value

v²-u² = 2×a×s

v²-0 = 2×1.06×3.40

v² = 7.208

v = 2.68

so speed when the block had slid 3.40 m is 2.68 m/s
