If the velocity of an object is zero at one instant, what is true about the acceleration of that object

Physics
1 answer:
Charra [1.4K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

I. The acceleration could be positive.

II. The acceleration could be zero.

III. The acceleration could be negative.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

If the velocity of an object is zero at one instant, then the acceleration of that object may have the following characteristics;

I. The acceleration could be positive.

II. The acceleration could be zero.

III. The acceleration could be negative.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Where,

a is acceleration measured in ms^{-2}

v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in ms^{-1}

t is time measured in seconds.

Discuss the force that exists between the Earth and the moon by referring to the mass of each.
Fudgin [204]
The word gravity is used to describe the gravitational pull (force) an object experiences on or near the surface of a planet or moon. The gravitational force is a force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. Any object with mass exerts a gravitational force on any other object with mass.

Hope it answers your question!

A block of mass 27.00 kg sits on a horizontal surface with, coefficient of kinetic
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The force is  F  = 172 \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  mass of the block is  m_b  = 27.0 \ kg

     The  coefficient of  static friction is  \mu_s  =  0.65

     The coefficient of kinetic friction is  \mu_k  =  0.50

The  normal force acting on the block is  

      N  =  m *  g

substituting values

     N  =   27 *  9.8

     N  =   294.6  \  N

Given that the force we are to find is the force required to get the block to start moving then the force acting against this force is the static frictional force which is mathematically evaluated as

        F_f  =  \mu_s  *  N

substituting values

        F_f  =   0.65 *  264.6

        F_f  =   172 \ N

Now for this  block to move the force require is  equal to F_f i.e

       F= F_f

=>    F  = 172 \ N

A spring with spring constant of 34 N/m is stretched 0.12 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:0.253Joules

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the force required to stretch the string. According to Hooke's law, the force applied to an elastic material or string is directly proportional to its extension.

F = ke where;

F is the force

k is spring constant = 34N/m

e is the extension = 0.12m

F = 34× 0.12 = 4.08N

To get work done,

Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the body to move a distance from its initial position.

Work done = Force × Distance

Since F = 4.08m, distance = 0.062m

Work done = 4.08 × 0.062

Work done = 0.253Joules

Therefore, work done to stretch the string to an additional 0.062 m distance is 0.253Joules

A cross-country skier can complete a 7.5 km race in 45 min. What is the skier’s average speed?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Speed = 10 km/hr

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Since we have to convert it into minutes to hours ( because it is km/hr )

45 minutes = 0.75 hours

Therefore,

Speed = 7.5 / 0.75

           = <u>10 km/hr </u>

<u></u>

<u>Hope it helps!</u>
