NO! ACCELERATION IS NEVER NEGATIVE UNLESS IT IS SLOWING DOWN.

No because the acceleration is getting larger. If the object was slowing down it would be negative. It does not matter in direction. Its wether is is speeding up or slowing down.

If the force that propels the cannonball forward is 500N, how much force will move the cannon backward?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Well it would be equal to 500N because pushing forward the ball (or whatever maybe a body) would push the canon back an even 500N backwards...

Determine the energy in joules of a photon whose frequency is 3.55 x10^17 hz
asambeis [7]
By using the Plancks-Einstein equation, we can find the energy;
E = hf
where h is the plancks constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴
f = frequency = 3.55 x 10¹⁷hz
E = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴) x (3.55 x 10¹⁷)
E = 2.354 x 10⁻¹⁶J

Frank has a sample of steel that has a mass of 80 grams if the density is 8g/cm3 what is the volume
nikklg [1K]
Density is mass divided by volume. rho=m/v. So, v=m/rho. In frank's case this is 80/8 = 10 cm^3.
