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).

Which sentence describes an example of sublimation?
RideAnS [48]

The correct answer to the question is C).Dry ice changes to carbon dioxide when kept in an open container.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand sublimation.

Sublimation is a thermal process of state or phase change in which solid substance is directly converted into gas without melting i.e the substance won't undergo liquid state.

In the given question, dry ice is given. Dry ice is the solid state of carbon dioxide. When the dry ice changes to carbon dioxide, directly solid carbon dioxide is converted into gaseous carbon dioxide. No liquid carbon dioxide is formed . So, the phase change is from solid to gas.

Hence, the conversion of dry ice into carbon dioxide is an example of sublimation.

when an incandescent light bulb is turned on, its thin wire filament heats up quickly. as the temperature of this wire filament
Leno4ka [110]

Well, we usually assume that the resistance of a circuit component
is constant and doesn't change.  But the truth is that for anything
that conducts current, its resistance always increases somewhat
when it warms up. 

For things like light bulbs, electric toasters, space heaters, electric
stove burners, the heat coils in a blow-dryer ... anything that's
designed to be really hot when it's doing its job ... the resistance
of those things increases significantly when they come up to their
operating temperatures.

At a certain point in space, there is a potential of 800 V relative to zero. What is the potential energy of the system when a +
sammy [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to electric potential and electric potential energy. By definition we know that the electric potential is determined under the function:

V = \frac{k_e q}{r}

k_e = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge

r = Radius

At the same time

U = \frac{k_e q_1q_2}{r}

The values of variables are the same, then if we replace in a single equation we have this expression,

U  = Vq

If we replace the values, we have finally that the charge is,

V = 800V

q = 1\mu C

U = (800V)(1*10^{-6}C)

U = 8*10^{-4}J

Therefore the potential energy of the system is 8*10^{-4} J

kvasek [131]

Answer

given,

SAT is 500 with a standard deviation of 100.

a sample of 400 students whose family income was between $70,000 and $80,000 had an average verbal SAT score of 511.

sample mean = \dfrac{standard\ deviation}{\sqrt{n}}

                      = \dfrac{100}{\sqrt{400}}

                      = 5

95% confidence level is achieved within +/- 1.960 standard deviations.

1.960 standard deviations  x  5 is equal to +/- 9.8

confidence interval = 511 - 9.8   ---  511 + 9.8

                                = 501.2-----520.8
