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

Physics
1 answer:
IceJOKER [234]3 years ago
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.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

255 Hz

Explanation:

The beat frequency is the difference in frequency between two frequencies that are close.

Let the the unknown frequency be f.

Sounded with the 250 Hz tuning fork,

|250-f|=5

f = 255 \text{ or } 245

Sounded with the 270 Hz tuning fork,

|270-f|=15

f = 255 \text{ or } 285

The common value of f in both situations is 255 Hz.

(Write the answer in fair test) You have to investigate whether surface area affects how fast some water evaporates
Damm [24]

Answer:

Evaporation increases with an increase in the surface area

If the surface area is increased, then the amount is of liquid that is exposed to air is larger. More molecules can escape with a wider surface area.

A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0 m/s. Then the truck trav
aniked [119]
<span>You can use the equation
V_xf = V_xi + a_x(t)

V_xf = 20.0m/s
V_xi = 0m/s
ax = 2.0 t

Thus, solve for t and get 10seconds and then take 5 seconds to break after 20 seconds of driving so for

a) 10 + 20 + 5 = 35 seconds

</span><span>for part b)
You can use the formula
Delta x/Delta t = average velocity
 
Need to find xf, knowing xi = 0

Thus, use the formula
 x_f = x_i + V_xi(t) + (1/2)a_x(t)^(2)
x_f = 0 + 0(10) + (1/2)(2.0)(10)^(2)
 x_f = 100m
 
so for the first 10 seconds the truck traveled 100ms At a speed of 20m/s

20m/s = xm/20s 20*20 = x
x = 400
 
thus we have 100+400 = 500m then it slows down from 500m to x_f
 
thus I use the equation
x_f = x_i + (1/2)(V_xf + V_xi)t
x_f = 500 + (1/2)(0 + 20)(5) x_f = 500 + 50
x_f = 550
 
therefore the total distance traveled is 550m
</span>
<span>to calculate average velocity
550/35 = 16m/s

thus V_xavg = 16m/s</span>

Explain the difference between the synodic period of a planet and the sidereal period. why is the synodic period often much less
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
-Synodic period is the period of celestial bodies observed on the moving planet(mostly earth)
Sideral period is the period comparing to the fixed stars without motion of the earth involved.

(I will explain the second question with an example, so it's easier to understand)
-For Sideral month for example of the moon it cactually complete one revolution in around 27.3 days.
However, since the earth moves, for us it took some more time to see the moon the same as before (fullmoon to fullmoon) again. That make synodic month of the moon to be around 29.5 days.
