If an object is NOT accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is ___.

Physics

"Zero acceleration" means "velocity" that's not changing.

Sadly, it seems that both of these words are almost always
misinterpreted and misunderstood. "Acceleration" does NOT
mean "speeding up", and "velocity" does NOT mean speed.

"Velocity" is the speed AND direction of motion.  So, for example,
'30 miles per hour north' and '30 miles per hour west' are the same
speed but different velocities.

"Acceleration" is ANY change in speed OR direction.  Consider three
different families in three different cars.  One car is speeding up, one is
slowing down, and the third is driving around a curve at a steady speed.
ALL three of the cars are accelerating.

Review. An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 mT . The angular momen
Ghella [55]

The speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

The angular momentum(L) of an electron moving in a circular path is given by the formula,

L = mvr ........(i)

We know that the radius of the path of an electron in a magnetic field is

r = mv/qB

Putting this value in equation (i),

L = mv x mv/qB

or L = (mv)^2/qB

Putting the given values in the above equation,

4 x 10^-25 = (9.1x10^-31)^2 x v^2/ 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1 x 10^-3

v comes out to be 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

Hence, the speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

(3) 8.3 N/kg. The gravitational field strength at a point is the force per unit mass exerted on a mass placed at that point. So at the point where the Hubble telescope is, it is (9.1 x 10^4)N/(1.1 x 10^4 kg) = 8.3 N/kg

A runaway railroad car, with mass 30x10^4 kg, coasts across a level track at 2.0 m/s when it collides with a spring loaded bumpe
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.775 m

Explanation:

As the car collides with the bumper, all the kinetic energy of the car (K) is converted into elastic potential energy of the bumper (U):

U=K\\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where we have

k=2\cdot 10^6 N/m is the spring constant of the bumper

x is the maximum compression of the bumper

m=30\cdot 10^4 kg is the mass of the car

v=2.0 m/s is the speed of the car

Solving for x, we find the maximum compression of the spring:

x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(30\cdot 10^4 kg)(2.0 m/s)^2}{2\cdot 10^6 N/m}}=0.775 m

 why are waves faster in liquids and gases than in air
Alika [10]

Answer:

Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases because molecules are packed more closely together. This means that when the water molecules begin to vibrate, they quickly begin to collide with each other forming a rapidly moving compression wave. Sound travels over four times faster than in air
