How can acceleration be changed without changing speed?

1 answer:

3 0

Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or change your direction—or change both. If you're not changing your speed and you're not changing your direction, then you simply cannot be accelerating—no matter how fast you're going.

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is used to form a real image 1.0 m away from the lens. How far from the lens is the obje

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem, we have

f = +20 cm=+0.20 m (the focal length is positive for a converging lens)

q = +1.0 m (the image distance is positive for a real image)

Solving the equation for p, we find

$\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{0.20 m}-\frac{1}{1 m}=4 m^{-1}\\p=\frac{1}{4 m^{-1}}=0.25 m$

A 32-kg child decides to make a raft out of empty 1.0-L soda bottles and duct tape. Neglecting the mass of the duct tape and pla

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

32 bottles

Explanation:

If we create a free body diagram on the child we have his weight and the bouyant force

W-B=0

They must be equal to mantain equilibrium on the body and he can stay floating, this force is equivalent to the weight of water displaced

W=B=Ww

Mg=mg

32 kg=mass of water displaced

1 kilogram per liter (kg/L) is the density of water, this means that 32 Liters of water are displaced and since the bottles can retain 1 liter, the child needs 32 bottles

A 129-kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.61 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 65.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the platform which is a uniform disk = 129 kg

Radius of the disk rotating about vertical axis = 1.61 m

Mass of the person standing on platform = 65.7 kg

Distance from the center of platform = 1.07 m
