If a subway train is moving to the left (has a negative velocity) and then comes to a stop, what is the direction of its acceler

ation? Is the acceleration positive or negative?

Answer:

The acceleration would be positive, pointing to the right.

Explanation:

The acceleration tells us how velocity changes every second. If the train stops, this means its velocity must go from a non-zero value to zero.

To reduce velocity, acceleration must point to the opposite direction. Since velocity is negative, acceleration must be positive.

A dog runs down his driveway with an initial speed of 5 m/s for 8 s, and then uniformly increases his speed to 10 m/s in 5 s.
MakcuM [25]
Acceleration is given by change in velocity divided by change in time, so his acceleration should just be (10-5)/5 which is [tex] \frac{5}{2} \frac{m}{s^{2}} [tex]

The driveway is 40 meters plus 225/4. You can do the math.

You wish to lift a 12,000 lb stone by a vertical distance of 15 ft. Unfortunately, you can only generate a maximum pushing force
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²

Explanation:

Work done, W = mgy where m = mass of stone = 12,000 lb, g = 32 ft/s² and y = vertical distance = 15 ft.

So, W = mgy = 12,000 lb × 32 ft/s² × 15 ft. = 5,760,000 lb-ft²/s²
