The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.

Physics
1 answer:
Alex73 [517]3 years ago
4 0

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.

The trough of the sine curve used to represent a sound wave corresponds to
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is a rarefaction.

Explanation:

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that propagate in a medium, such as air. As the vibration continues, a series of successive condensations and rarefactions form and propagate from it. The pattern created in the air is something like a sinusoidal curve to represent a sound wave.

There are peaks in the sine wave at the points where the sound wave has condensations and valleys where it has rarefactions.

How remove local action and polarization ​
slava [35]

Answer:

Local action is removed by amalgamating zinc rod.

Explanation:

This prevents chemical reaction to occur because impurities in the zinc cannot get into contact with an electrolyte.

The mass of a lift is 600kg.the. The maximum tensile force that the cable supporting the lift can withstand is 7kN. Calculate th
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Force is the product of mass and acceleration .
The question is ask to find acceleration.
But acceleration is the ratio of the force and the mass.
where 600kg is the mass and 7kN is the force
NB: kilo is 1000
now we have to multiply 7N by 1000
by doing so you will have 7000N
which is the force.
Now to find the acceleration: force/ mass
which is 7000/600
therefore the maximum acceleration is 11.667

Which of the following factors will negatively impact the rate of diffusion of a molecule?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A low difference in the concentration of the molecule across the media

Explanation:

Diffusion is a type of passive transport where the molecules move in the influence of concentration gradient of diffusing molecules i.e. from the higher concentration region to the lower concentration region. There are some factors which affect the rate of diffusion, these are written below -

  1. Mass of diffusing molecule - lighter molecules diffuse faster and heavier one diffuse relatively slower.
  2. Concentration gradient - rate of diffusion is higher if the difference in concentration of the diffusing particles is larger in the two regions.
  3. Distance traveled - molecules diffuse faster if they need to travel little distance during diffusion.
  4. Temperature - rate of diffusion will be greater at higher temperatures because the movement of diffusing molecules gets increased.
  5. Solvent density - rate of diffusion tend to be lower if the solvent has higher density.

Looking at these factors we can conclude that the second statement in the question tells about a negative impact regarding the diffusion because due to low difference in concentration across the two media, the rate of diffusion will be lower.
