Is it possible to have negative velocity but positive acceleration? If so, what would this mean?

Observe that the object below moves in the negative direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a positive acceleration). The dot diagram shows that each consecutive dot is not the same distance apart (i.e., a changing velocity). The position-time graph shows that the slope is changing (meaning a changing velocity) and negative (meaning a negative velocity). The velocity-time graph shows a line with a positive (upward) slope (meaning that there is a positive acceleration); the line is located in the negative region of the graph (corresponding to a negative velocity). The acceleration-time graph shows a horizontal line in the positive region of the graph (meaning a positive acceleration).

A block rides on a piston that is moving vertically with simple harmonic motion. (a) If the SHM has period 2.68 s, at what ampli

fredd [130]

Answer:

Part a)

$A = 1.78 m$

Part b)

$f = 2 rev/s$

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that time period of the motion is given as

$T = 2.68 s$

so we have

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{2.68}$

$\omega = 2.34 rad/s$

now at the point of maximum amplitude the force equation when Normal force is about to zero is given as

$mg = m\omega^2 A$

so we have

$A = \frac{g}{\omega^2}$

$A = \frac{9.81}{2.34^2}$

$A = 1.78 m$

Part b)

Now if the amplitude of the SHM is 6.23 cm

and now at this amplitude if object will lose the contact then in that case again we have

$mg = m\omega^2 A$

$g = \omega^2 (0.0623)$

$\omega = 12.5 rad/s$

so now we have

$2\pi f = 12.5$

$f = 2 rev/s$

A stream moving with a speed of 7.1 m/s reaches a point where the cross-sectional area of the stream decreases to one half of th

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the stream, v₁ = 7.1 m/s

let the cross section area at initial point be A₁

now area at the second point, A₂ = (1/2)A₁ = 0.5A₁

now, from the continuity equation, we have

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where, v₂ is the velocity at the narrowed portion

thus, on substituting the values, we get

A₁ × 7.1 = 0.5A₁ × v₂

or

v₂ = 14.2 m/s

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. its speed is 40 m/s when i

Alenkinab [10]

Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.
