Answer: c) Positive acceleration describes an increase in speed; negative acceleration describes a decrease in speed.
Hey
On Earth, you can move or you can not move. if you are moving 50 mph that means relative to Earth (not the Andromeda galaxy). When you start moving (accelerating) you are now moving relative to Earth. when you start slowing down (decelerating [most scientists just say you have negative acceleration]) you are starting to match your velocity to Earth's velocity.
Hope it helped and made any sence at all.
Spiky bob your answerer.
We need to considerate only the horizontal component of the motion of the toy car.
The formula for the distance in a decelerated motion is:
s = s₀ + v₀·t - 1/2·a·t²
where:
s₀ = initial position = 0
v₀ = initial velocity = 1.21 m/s
t = time elapsed = 0.342 s
a = deceleration = 0.131 m/s²
Plugging in numbers:
s = 0 + 1.21×0.342 - 0.5×0.141×(0.342)²
= 0.406 m
Hence, the toy car traveled a distance of about 41 cm.
Answer:
The necessary information is if the forces acting on the block are in equilibrium
The coefficient of friction is 0.577
Explanation:
Where the forces acting on the object are in equilibrium, we have;
At constant velocity, the net force acting on the particle = 0
However, the frictional force is then given as
F = mg sinθ
Where:
m = Mass of the block
g = Acceleration due to gravity and
θ = Angle of inclination of the slope
F = 5×9.81×sin 30 = 24.525 N
Therefore, the coefficient of friction is given as
24.525 N = μ×m×g × cos θ = μ × 5 × 9.81 × cos 30 = μ × 42.479
μ × 42.479 N= 24.525 N
∴ μ = 24.525 N ÷ 42.479 N = 0.577
Answer:
Explanation:
distance of fan A = 18.3 m
distance of fan B = 127 m
speed of sound (s) = 343 m/s
What is the time difference between hearing the sound at the two locations?
time (T) = distance / speed
- time for sound to reach fan A = 18.3 / 343 = 0.053 s
- time it takes for sound to reach fan B = 127 / 343 = 0.370 s
- time difference = 0.370 - 0.053 = 0.317 s
