Why is accelration negative when velocity is positive.​

Physics
1 answer:
Sindrei [870]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

A cylindrical container closed of both end has a radius of 7cm and height of 6cm A.)find the total surface area of the container
Natalka [10]

Given:

A cylindrical container closed of both end has a radius of 7cm and height of 6cm.

Explanation:

A.) Find the total surface area of the container.

  • A = 2πrh + 2πr²
  • A = 2(3.14)(7)(6) + 2(3.14)(7 × 7)
  • A = 263.76 + 307.72
  • A = 571.48

B.) Find the volume of the container.

  • V = πr²h
  • V = (3.14)(7×7)(6)
  • V = 923.16

A car with a total mass of 1800 kg (including passengers) is driving down a washboard road with bumps spaced 4.9 m apart. The ri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

k = 9.6 x 10^5 N/m or 9.6 kN/m

Explanation:

First, we need to use the expression to calculate the spring constant which is:

w² = k/m

Solving for k:

k = w²*m

To get the angular velocity:

w = 2πf

The problem is giving the linear velocity of the car which is 5.7 m/s. With this we can calculate the frequency of the car:

f = V/x

f = 5.7 / 4.9 = 1.16 Hz

Now the angular velocity:

w = 2π*1.16

w = 7.29 rad/s

Finally, solving for k:

k = (7.29)² * 1800

k = 95,659.38 N/m

In two significant figures it'll ve 9.6 kN/m

How is motion affected by change in mass of an object and forces applied?
densk [106]
Newtons second law says that the acceleration of an object (produced by a net force) is directly proportional to that magnitude of the net force. E.g. F = ma
where F is the net force of an object, m is mass and a is acceleration.
For example, if an object had a large mass, there would have to be more force in order to move it than if it was lighter.  
In a linear motion, if you pushed two objects, one slightly larger than the other, with the same force, the acceleration of the smaller object would be bigger than the larger one. So the motion (change in position over time), of the larger object would be seen as lesser than the smaller one (in a situation where both forces are equal).

Against the wind a commercial airline in south america flew 784 miles in 4 hours. with a tailwind the return trip took 3.53 hour
ira [324]

First let us assign variables,

d = distance travelled

t = time it took

v = velocity of the commercial airline

In linear physics, the equation for velocity is given as:

v = d / t

Rewriting for d:

d = v t

We know that the distance to and from south America are equal therefore:

d1 (going) = d2 (return)

Let us say that velocity of air is v3. Since going to South America, the wind is against the direction of the plane and the return trip is the opposite, therefore:

(v1 - v3) t1 = (v1 + v3) t2

(v1 – v3) 4 = (v1 + v3) 3.53

4 v1 – 4 v3 = 3.53 v1 + 3.53 v3

0.47 v1 = 7.53 v3

v1 = 16.02 v3

Since we also know that:

(v1 - v3) t1 = 784

(16.02 v3 – v3) * 4 = 784

60.085 v3 = 784

v3 = 13.05 mph

Therefore the speed of the plane in still air, v1 is:

v1 = 16.02 * 13.05

<span>v1 = 209.03 mph           (ANSWER)</span>
