The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.

Physics

Alex73 [517]3 years ago

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

KIM [24]
The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. Therefore, E = A² where A is the amplitude. This therefore means when the amplitude of a wave is doubled the energy will be quadrupled, when the amplitude is tripled the energy increases by a nine fold and so on.
Thus, in this case if the energy is 4J, then the amplitude will be  √4 = 2 .

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Incomplete question

This is the completed question

If the resistor in the circuit had a larger resistance then the current would be then have to be proportionally smaller. Because the batteries each give off 1.5 volts then the current would have to be the variable that would change. What affect would using a 12V car battery have on the operation of your circuit? (Do not try this.) What would happen to the current? What would happen to the resistor?

Explanation:

Using ohms law as our basis

Ohms law state that, the voltage in an ohmic conductor is directly proportional to the current

V∝I

Resistance is the constant of proportionality

Then

V=iR

Since we want a relationship between current and resistance.

then, I=V/R

So, current is inversely proportional to Resistance

as the current increase the resistance reduce and as the current reduces the resistance increases.

a. So, increasing the voltage from 1.5V to 12V increases the current In the circuit because voltage Is directly proportional to I.

From ohms law

V=iR

When v =1.5V

I=1.5/R

When V increase to 12V

I=12/R

I.e, it increases by a factor of 8. Eight times it's initial value

b. Now, the resistance in the circuit is the constant of proportionality and it doesn't change in a given circuit expect when using a variable resistoa r like rheostat.

A 10 kg mass rests on a table. What acceleration will be generated when a force of 20 N is applied and encounters a frictional f
deff fn [24]
Net force acting on mass = 20 - 15 = 5N. ( subtracted cuz friction always opposes the motion i.e it always acts in direction opposite to the motion of the object). According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, F(net) = ma. a =F (net) / m = 5/10 = 0.5 m/s^2. Hope it helps :)
