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.

. Consider the equation =0+0+02/2+03/6+04/24+5/120, where s is a length and t is a time. What are the dimensions and SI units of
Olegator [25]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

s=s_0+v_0t+\frac{a_0t^2}{2}+ \frac{j_0t^3}{6}+\frac{S_0t^4}{24}+\frac{ct^5}{120}

Solving (a): Units and dimension of s_0

From the question, we understand that:

s \to L --- length

t \to T --- time

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=s_0

Rewrite as:

s_0=s

This implies that s_0 has the same unit and dimension as s

Hence:

s_0 \to L --- dimension

s_o \to Length (meters, kilometers, etc.)

Solving (b): Units and dimension of v_0

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=v_0t

Rewrite as:

v_0t = s

Make v_0 the subject

v_0 = \frac{s}{t}

Replace s and t with their units

v_0 = \frac{L}{T}

v_0 = LT^{-1}

Hence:

v_0 \to LT^{-1} --- dimension

v_0 \to m/s --- unit

Solving (c): Units and dimension of a_0

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=\frac{a_0t^2}{2}

Rewrite as:

\frac{a_0t^2}{2} = s_0

Make a_0 the subject

a_0 = \frac{2s_0}{t^2}

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

a_0 = \frac{L}{T^2}\\

a_0 = LT^{-2

Hence:

a_0 = LT^{-2 --- dimension

a_0 \to m/s^2 --- acceleration

Solving (d): Units and dimension of j_0

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=\frac{j_0t^3}{6}

Rewrite as:

\frac{j_0t^3}{6} = s

Make j_0 the subject

j_0 = \frac{6s}{t^3}

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

j_0 = \frac{L}{T^3}

j_0 = LT^{-3}

Hence:

j_0 = LT^{-3} --- dimension

j_0 \to m/s^3 --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of s_0

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

s=\frac{S_0t^4}{24}

Rewrite as:

\frac{S_0t^4}{24} = s

Make S_0 the subject

S_0 = \frac{24s}{t^4}

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

S_0 = \frac{L}{T^4}

S_0 = LT^{-4

Hence:

S_0 = LT^{-4 --- dimension

S_0 \to m/s^4 --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of c

Ignore other terms of the equation, we have:

s=\frac{ct^5}{120}

Rewrite as:

\frac{ct^5}{120} = s

Make c the subject

c = \frac{120s}{t^5}

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

c = \frac{L}{T^5}

c = LT^{-5}

Hence:

c \to LT^{-5} --- dimension

c \to m/s^5 --- units

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.550 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?
Alexxx [7]
Since my givens are x = .550m [Vsub0] = unknown
 [Asubx] = =9.80
 
 [Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]

[Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]) 

Vsubx is the final velocity, which at the max height is 0, and Xsub0 is just 0 as that's where it starts so I just plug the rest in

0^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[-9.80]*(.550)

0 = [Vsub0x]^2 -10.78

10.78 = [Vsub0x]^2

Sqrt(10.78) = 3.28 m/s
