How does the direction of acceleration compare with the direction of the net force that produces it

Physics

Novay_Z [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of the acceleration is in the same direction as the net force causing it.  F = ma is actually a vector equation in which f and a are both vectors and m is a scalar constant.

If two different theories describe experimental observations equally well, can one be said to be more valid than the other (assu
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

In such situations we cannot determine which one is more valid as both serves the purpose well.

Two theories are carried out in different environment and circumstance keeping different parameters and one can opt for any number of ways to carry out that experiment but what matter at the end is the accuracy they bring.

Each of the theory is a new discovery and follows all the possible logical rules hence it is not possible to decide which one is more valid.

A diagram of a closed circuit with a power source on the left labeled 120 V. There are 3 resistors in parallel, separate paths,
Zina [86]

1) The equivalent resistance is 2.73\Omega

2) The voltage in the circuit is 120 V

3) The total current in the circuit is 44.0 A

Explanation:

1)

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they have the same potential difference at their terminals.

The formula to calculate the equivalent resistance for three resistors in parallel is:

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

where R_1, R_2, R_3 are the resistances of the three resistors.

In this problem, the resistance of each resistor is:

R_1 = 5.0 \Omega

R_2 = 10.0 \Omega

R_3 = 15.0 \Omega

Substituting,

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{11}{30}

So the equivalent resistance is

R_T = \frac{30}{11}=2.73 \Omega

2)

In this problem we are told that the three resistors are connected in parallel. This means that their terminals are connected to the same point of the circuit: therefore, this means that they also have the same potential difference across them.

Therefore, the voltage in each branch containing each resistor is the same, and it is equal to the voltage of the battery, which is

V=120 V

So, the voltage in the circuit is 120 V.

3)

The total current in the circuit can be found by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

I is the current

In this circuit, we have:

V = 120 V

R=2.73\Omega

Re-arranging the equation for I, we find the current:

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{2.73}=44.0 A

a car whose mass is 1000kg is traveling at a constant speed of 10m/s. Neglecting any friction how much force will the engine hav
AURORKA [14]
This next statement is a big deal.  It should be up on a board, surrounded
by flashing red and yellow lights, and hung on the wall of every Science
classroom.   Although we never see it in our daily lives, it's fundamental to
the workings of the universe, and it's also Newton's first law of motion:

<em>Without friction, it doesn't take <u>ANY</u> force to keep a moving object
moving.  </em>
<em>Force is only required to <u>change</u> the object's speed, or to
<u>change</u> the direction </em>
<em>in which it's moving.</em>

The answer to the question is:  On a level road, and neglecting any friction,
the engine doesn't have to supply ANY force to keep the car going at the
same speed.

A student throws a rock horizontally from the edge of a cliff that is 20 m high. The rock has an initial speed on 10 m/s. If air
fiasKO [112]

The distance of the rock from the base of the cliff is C) 20 m

Explanation:

The motion of the rock in this problem is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

We start by analyzing the vertical motion to find the time of flight of the rock (the time it takes to reach the ground). We can do it by using the suvat equation:

s=u_y t+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, taking downward as positive direction,

s = 20 m is the vertical displacement of the rock

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time of flight

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20)}{9.8}}=2.02 s

Now we can analzye the horizontal motion: the rock moves horizontally with a constant velocity of

v_x = 10 m/s

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered after a time t is

d=v_x t

and substituting t = 2.02 s, we find the final distance of the rock from the base of the cliff:

d=(10)(2.02)=20 m
