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?

Katen [24]3 years ago

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.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first method to engage is to listen to where the sound of air in the inner Tor escaping originated and look to see if u can find it. You can then feel the escape air with your hand.

You can Put it inside a container of water and see the bubble and rotate the inner tube to pass all of it through the water

A gas sample is confined within a chamber that has a movable piston. A small load is placed on the piston; and the system is all
timurjin [86]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total weight of the piston, W = F = 70 N

Area of the piston, a=5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Let P is the pressure exerted on the piston by the gas. The force per unit area is called the pressure exerted pressure of the gas. Mathematically, it is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{70\ N}{5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2}

P=1.4\times 10^5\ Pa

We know that the atmospheric pressure is given by :

P_o=1.013\times 10^5\ Pa

So, the pressure is given by :

p=P+P_o

p=1.4\times 10^5+1.013\times 10^5

p=2.41\times 10^5\ Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.

Olin [163]
The correct answer is Destructive Interference.

Consider the image attached below. Two waves are travelling towards each other. Blue wave always has a positive peak and the red wave always has a negative peak.

Now imagine these waves are moving through a rope. If blue waves will try to move the rope in positive direction, the red wave will pull it down, and thus the two waves will cancel the effect of each other. Thus resulting in a destructive interference.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The package will be directly below the location of the plane.

Explanation:

Look up projectile motion for more information. The horizontal speed of the package is separate from the vertical speed of the package. The vertical speed of the falling package will be based on the rate of acceleration and the height of the package when dropped. The horizontal speed of the package will be the same as the plane so the package will remain directly below the plane the entire time until the package hits the ground.
