Can a body have zero velocity and finite acceleration?Explain​

Physics

sergejj [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Kinda? Depends what the question is fully asking

Explanation:

Acceleration is a change in velocity. So I guess if the velocity of something is -2 m/s and its positively accelerating at a value of +1 m/s, then that means every second its velocity changes by +1m/s.

So that -2 m/s thing after one second will be going -1 m/s.

After another second it'll be going 0 m/s.

After another itll be going +1 m/s and so on.

So at one point for a brief moment, it can have an acceleration but be at 0 m/s velocity.

The tonga trench in the pacific ocean is 36,000 feet deep. assuming that sea water has an average density of 1.04 g/cm3, calcula
MakcuM [25]
1110 atm    

Let's start by calculating how many cm deep is 36,000 feet. 

 36000 ft * 12 in/ft * 2.54 cm/in = 1097280 cm   

 Now calculate how much a column of water 1 cm square and that tall would mass. 

 1097280 cm * 1.04 g/cm^3 = 1141171.2 g/cm^2   

 We now have a number using g/cm^2 as it's unit and we desire a unit of Pascals ( kg/(m*s^2) ).  

 It's pretty obvious how to convert from g to kg. But going from cm^2 to m is problematical. Additionally, the s^2 value is also a problem since nothing in the value has seconds as an unit. This indicates that a value has been omitted. We need something with a s^2 term and an additional length term. And what pops into mind is gravitational acceleration which is m/s^2. So let's multiply that in after getting that cm^2 term into m^2 and the g term into kg.   

 1141171.2 g/cm^2 / 1000 g/kg * 100 cm/m * 100 cm/m = 11411712 kg/m^2 

 11411712 kg/m^2 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 111834777.6 kg/(m*s^2) = 111834777.6 Pascals   

 Now to convert to atm 

 111834777.6 Pa / 1.01x10^5 Pa/atm = 1107.2750 atm   

 Now we gotta add in the 1 atm that the atmosphere actually provides (but if you look closely, you'll realize that it won't affect the final result). 

 1107.274 atm + 1 atm = 1108.274 atm   

 And finally, round to 3 significant figures since that's the accuracy of our data, giving 1110 atm.

When a person holds an object, it has potential energy. How will the potential energy change if the person lifts the object abov
anygoal [31]

Answer:

While In an <em><u>ideal/isolated</u></em> system, as long as the object is not in motion, its potential energy will be the same.

However, <u>potential energy is relative</u>. On Earth, usually, it is measured with respect to gravity. <u>The higher the object, the greater the potential gravitational energy</u>. It's all relative. For the sake of this question, I would assume that potential energy increases.

Explanation:

While kinetic energy depends upon speed, potential energy is always relative to some arbitrary reference point.
