A bowling ball with a negative initial velocity slows down as it rolls down the lane toward the pins. Is the bowling ballâs acce

leration positive or negative as it rolls toward the pins?

Answer:

positive

Explanation:

The ball is rolling down with a negative velocity, but the velocity is slowing down. therefore the velocity must increase in order for the ball to slow down.

For example let the ball's initial velocity be -15 m/s. and it  is slowing down to let's say -13 m/s. Well this means that it's velocity has increase by 2 m/s. So, its acceleration is positive.

Sliva [168]

Answer: The major challenges are as

1) understanding of the plasma: Plasma is a soup like mixture of subatomic particles of different atoms nuclei and electrons that are shattered apart by the temperature at which plasma is formed. further research is needed to understand the behavior of plasma so that it can be put to a proper use.

2) Confinement of plasma: Once we get the plasma we need to hold it so that we can obtain heat from it to drive a steam turbine but the sheer temperature of plasma is in millions of Celsius thus currently making it impossible to confine conventionally. Scientists use a loop of electric and magnetic fields to keep it in circulatory like manner so that it can be studied.

3) finally to obtain electricity from the plasma it should be stable to produce electricity. But currently to obtain pressure, temperature so that we have a sustained supply is highly difficult in technical and economical aspects.

Inertial confinement: In order to get the nuclei of atoms close enough for fusion this type of method used compression of the nuclei into highly small volumes.This is accomplished by use of lasers which are directed towards the fuel pellets that implode and travel towards other nuclei making fusion possible. It's main advantage is that it requires lesser time to initiate fusion but the disadvantage being that a large power is used to fire the lasers and the lasers should all hit the small target.

Magnetic Confinement: In this method we use a magnetic and electric fields in a properly designed space to keep the plasma in motion. In motion the nuclei of the atoms come close enough to initiate fusion.It's advantage being less power is required to start the process as compared to inertial confinement and the disadvantage being that plasma confinement is currently not properly understood.

If you run at an average speed of 10mi/h how long will it take for you to run 2.5miles
givi [52]

Answer:

If the avg speed is 10mi/h and you want to know how long it will take to run 2.5mi/h you put that as a ratio 2.5/10 which is 1/4 of an hour so it will take 15 minutes to run 2.5 miles
