A negative velocity, approaching zero, represents a negative acceleration. True or False

Physics
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Lets assume our positive direction to the right (this reasoning works for any direction). A negative velocity would then be then directed to the left. If it varies as such that it aproaches to zero, it means that the variation is directed to the right, and that is where the direction of the acceleration must be pointing. In other words, its losing its velocity, so the acceleration must point opposite to the velocity. Then it means the acceleration is positive.

Akimi4 [234]
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)

How much force is needed to accelerate a bicycle and rider with a total mass of 50 kg at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 ?
True [87]

Answer:

The answer is D 100 newton

Explanation:

2.0m/s2 is d acceleration while the 50kg is the mass. Force = mass x acceleration. So f=50x2.so force is 100 newton

What is the relationship between the atoms of elements,its isotopes and its ions
klasskru [66]
An element refers to a collection of atoms having the same number of protons and electrons (an atomic number). In each element there is a different atomic number due to a different amount of protons in the nucleus.

An isotope is a variation of an element that contains a different number of neutrons, therefore adding weight to the atom.

An ion is a charged atom, and its charge shows how many electrons it needs to gain or lose in order to become stable.
