Which statement correctly describes the differences between positive and negative acceleration?

1 answer:

3 0

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.

An object floats in a beaker as shown. when it was put into the beaker, it displaced an amount of water into the graduated cylin

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

answer is C. 10 g

Explanation:

: When an object floats, it displaces an amount of water that has the same mass as itself. Therefore, the mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object. We can see that there are 10 mL of water in the graduated cylinder. We also know that the density of water is 1 g/mL. Since each mL of water has a mass of 1 g, then 10 mL of water has a mass of 10 g. If the mass of the displaced water is 10 g, then the mass of the floating object is also 10 g.

4. A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground with a velocity of 30m/s. (a) how long will it take to rise to the highest

yarga [219]

All the answers are:

a) The time that will it take to rise to the highest point is 3.06 seconds.

b) The ball will rise to a height of 45.87 meters.

c) The time at which the ball will have a velocity of 10 m/s upward is 2.04 seconds.

The time when the ball has 10 m/s downward is 1.02 seconds.

d) The displacement of the ball will be zero at 6.12 seconds.

e) The time when the magnitude of the ball's velocity is equal to half its velocity of projection is 1.53 seconds.

f) The ball's displacement is equal to half the maximum height to which it rises after 0.90 seconds.

g) In each moment (upward and downward) the magnitude of the acceleration is the value of g (9.81 m/s²) and is a vector in the negative y-direction.

Let's calculate the values for each case.

a) At the highest point, the final velocity is 0, so we can use the following equation.

$v_{f}=v_{i}-gt$ (1)

Where:

v(i) is the initial velocity
v(f) is the final velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

We know that v(i) = 30 m/s.

$0=30-9.81t$

Solve it for t:

$t=3.06\: s$

Hence, the time is 3.06 s.

b) At the highest point, the final velocity is 0, so we can use the following equation.

$v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2}-2gh$ (2)

$0=v_{i}^{2}-2gh$

We know that the initial velocity is 30 m/s.

$0=30^{2}-2gh$

Solving it for h we have:

$h=\frac{30^{2}}{2*9.81}$

$h=45.87 \: m$

Then, the height is 45.87 m.

c) Using equation (1) we can find the time (t).

$10=30-(9.81t)$

So, the time elapsed to get 10 m/s is:

$t_{upward}=2.04\: s$

We know the upward time is equal to the downward time. So the time from v=10 m/s to v=0 m/s will be.

$t_{upward}=2.04+t$

$t=1.02\: s$

This is the time when the ball has 10 m/s downward.

Therefore, the time upward is 2.04 s, and the time downward is 1.02 s.

d) It will be when the ball returns to the ground.

$t=2t_{upward}$

$t=2*3.06$

$t=6.12\: s$

The displacement will be zero after 6.12 s.

e) Here we need to find the time when v(f) is 15 m/s

$15=30-gt$

$t=\frac{15}{9.81}$

$t=1.53\: s$

The time when the v(f) is 15 m/s is 1.53 s.

f) Here, we need to find t when h = 45.87/2 m = 22.94 m

We can use the next equation:

[tex]h=v_{i}t-0.5gt^{2}/tex]

[tex]22.94=30t-0.5*9.81*t^{2}/tex]

Solving this quadratic equation, t will be:

[tex]t=0.90\: s/tex]

Hence, the ball's displacement is equal to half the maximum h, at 0.90 s.

g) In each moment the magnitude of the acceleration is the value of g (9.81 m/s²) and is a vector in the negative y-direction.

We have a 24x30 inch piece of metal and we need to make a rectangular box by cutting a square from each corner of the piece and bending up the sides. The width of the piece is 24 inches and its length is 30 inches

When we cut a square of each corner of side x, the base of the box (after bending up the sides) will be (24-2x) and (30-2x), width and length respectively. The volume of the box is
