Negative acceleration can be in two ways. It can be that the object is slowing down or it is accelerating towards another direction. The statement can be correct and wrong. Displacement is also very important whether or not the object is slowing down or moving faster

It's not the speed , it's the rate of change of the speed decreases

Answer:

The atoms are aligned in a particular direction

Explanation:

The atoms become aligned in a particular direction in regions called domains, thus resulting in an overall resultant magnetism due to the spin of the electrons.

In which one of the following circumstances could mechanical energy not possibly be conserved, even if friction and air resistan
qwelly [4]

Answer:

A car moves up a hill at a constant velocity

Explanation:

Since the velocity is constant, the speed is also constant and so is the kinetic energy. However, total mechanical energy is sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, and the car is moving up the hill so its potential energy rises.

Thus, in the circumstances described the mechanical energy cannot be conserved.

The correct answer is A car moving up the hill with constant velocity.

A crane motor exerts 3,500 W to lift a load up 5 floors in 25 seconds. How much work did the crane do?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: 87500J

Explanation:

Given that,

Power exerted by crane = 3,500 W

Time taken = 25 seconds

work done by crane = ?

Since power is the rate of work done per unit time, then power is workdone by the crane divided by the time taken.

i.e power = work / time

3,500 W = work / 25 seconds

Work = 3500W x 25 seconds

Work = 87500J

Thus, 87500 joules of work was done by the crane.

A spring (70 N/m ) has an equilibrium length of 1.00 m. The spring is compressed to a length of 0.50 m and a mass of 2.0 kg is p
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Part a)

L = 0.68 m

Part b)

L = 0.63 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that there is no friction in the path

So here we can use energy conservation to find the distance moved by the mass

Initial spring energy = final gravitational potential energy

so we will have

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgL sin\theta

\frac{1}{2}70(0.5)^2 = 2(9.81)(L) sin41

8.75 = 12.87 L

L = 0.68 m

Part b)

Now if spring is connected to the block then again we can use energy conservation

so we will have

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mg(x + x')sin\theta + \frac{1}{2}kx'^2

so we will have

\frac{1}{2}(70)(0.5^2) = 2(9.81) (0.50 + x') sin41 + \frac{1}{2}(70)x'^2

8.75 = 6.43 + 12.87 x' + 35 x'^2

x' = 0.13 m

so total distance moved upwards is

L = 0.5 + 0.13 = 0.63 m
