In science, does acceleration happen when an object is slowing down?

Physics

Answer:

According to our principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a negative acceleration. In Example D, the object is moving in the negative direction (i.e., has a negative velocity) and is speeding up.

An electron is in a vacuum near Earth's surface and located at y = 0 m on a vertical y axis. At what value of y should a group o

Bingel [31]

Answer:

the bunch of 23 electrons must be placed on y axis at coordinate y = - 24.35 m.

Explanation:

As we know that the gravitational force on electron at y = 0 is counter-balanced by the weight of the electron

So we have

$\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} = mg$

here we have

$q_1 = e$

$q_2 = 23 e$

$m = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg$

also we know that

$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

so we will have

$\frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(23\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{r^2} = (9.11 \times 10^{-31})(9.81)$

$\frac{5.3 \times 10^{-27}}{r^2} = 8.94 \times 10^{-30}$

$r = 24.35 m$

so the bunch of 23 electrons must be placed on y axis at coordinate y = - 24.35 m.

The low areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions

qwelly [4]

The answer is; pressure

The sound is a longitudinal wave meaning the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves, therefore, produce compression (akin to the crest in a transverse wave) and rarefaction regions (akin to a trough in a transverse wave) as its energy is propagated in the medium.

In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10 km race in a time of 27 min, 43.6 s. Suppose "Pre" was at the 8.13 km mark at a

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: $0.084 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Total time=27 min 43.6 s=1663.6 s

total distance=10 km

Initial distance $d_1=8.13 km$

time taken=25 min =1500 s

initial speed $v_1=\frac{8.13\times 1000}{25\times 60}=5.6 m/s$

after 8.13 km mark steve started to accelerate

speed after 60 s

$v_2=v_1+at$

$v_2=5.6+a\times 60$

distance traveled in 60 sec

$d_2=v_1\times 60+\frac{a60^2}{2}$

$d_2=336+1800 a$

time taken in last part of journey

$t_3=1663.6-1560=103.6 s$

distance traveled in this time

$d_3=v_2\times t_3$

$d_3=\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

and total distance $=d_1+d_2+d_3$

$10000=8.13\times 1000+336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$1870=336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$a=0.084 m/s^2$

Is the circuit you created a parallel, series or a series/parallel circuit? Support your answer with a description of this type
