An object at rest has an instantaneous acceleration of zero is true.

Option B

<u>Explanation</u>:

As we all know, acceleration is given by a, and formula is F/m, where F is force applied and m is mass of an object. Considering Instaneneous acceleration, it means the force per unit mass body is feeling during infinitesimally small time. Let us say 1 microsecond, acceleration of the body during that span of time is known as instanteneous acceleration. Considering option A, it might not be always true, as consider a vehicle going in straight direction, speed is changing and not direction. Option D is not again true, as consider earth rotating around sun, direction is changing but not speed. However, as explained above, instantaneous acceleration is always constant, and hence, body at rest have instantaneous acceleration zero.

Two buses are driving along parallel freeways that are 5mi apart, one heading east and the other heading west. Assuming that eac

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

101.54m/h

Explanation:

Given that the buses are 5mi apart, and that they are both driving at the same speed of 55m/h, rate of change of distance can be determined using differentiation as;

Let l be the be the distance further away at which they will meet from the current points;

$l=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=12m\\\\\frac{dl}{dt}=-(55m/h+55m/h})\\\\=-110m/h$ #The speed toward each other.

$\frac{dh}{dt}=0, \ \ \ \ h=constant\\\\h^2+l^2=b^2\\\\2h\frac{dh}{dt}+2l\frac{dl}{dt}=2b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\2\times5\times0+2\times12\times(-110)=2\times13\frac{db}{dt}\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=-101.54m/h$

Hence, the rate at which the distance between the buses is changing when they are 13mi apart is 101.54m/h

Con lắc lò xo có độ cứng k = 100N/m được gắn vật có khối lượng m=0.1kg, kéo vật ra khỏi vị trí cân bằng 1 đoạn 5cm rồi buông tay

Delvig [45]

Answer:

The maximum velocity is 1.58 m/s.

Explanation:

A spring pendulum with stiffness k = 100N/m is attached to an object of mass m = 0.1kg, pulls the object out of the equilibrium position by a distance of 5cm, and then lets go of the hand for the oscillating object. Calculate the achievable vmax.

Spring constant, K = 100 N/m

mass, m = 0.1 kg

Amplitude, A = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Let the angular frequency is w.

$w = \sqrt{K}{m}\\\\w = \sqrt{100}{0.1}\\\\w = 31.6 rad/s$

The maximum velocity is

$v_{max} = w A\\\\v_{max} = 31.6\times 0.05 = 1.58 m/s$

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of(16.6 {\rm m/s} ){\hat x}. Ignoring air resistance, the average acc

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A) 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j B) 23.9 m/s c) 46º below horizontal.

Explanation:

A) Once released, the football is not under the influence of any external force in the horizontal direction, so it continues moving at a constant speed equal to the initial velocity, i.e., 16.6 m/s.

If we choose the horizontal direction to be coincident with the x-axis, and make positive the direction towards the right (assuming that this was the direction along which the football was thrown), we can write the horizontal component of the veelocity vector, as follows:

vₓ = 16.6 m/s i

In the vertical direction, the football, once released, is in free fall, starting from rest.

So, we can find the vertical component of the velocity vector, at a given point in time, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vy = a*t = -g*t = -9.81 m/s²*1.75 s = -17.2 m/s

Assuming that the upward direction is the positive for the y-axis (perpendicular to the chosen x-axis), we can write the vertical component of the velocity vector, at t=1.75 s, as follows:

vy = -17.2 m/s j

So, the velocity vector, in terms of the unit vectors i and j, can be written in this way:

v = 16.6 m/s i -17.2 m/s j

b) The magnitude of this vector can be found applying trigonometry, as the magnitude is the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides equal to vx and vy, as follows:

$v =\sqrt{(16.6m/s)^{2}+ (-17.2m/s)^{2}} = 23.9 m/s$

v = 23.9 m/s

c) The direction of the vector (below the horizontal) can be found as the angle which tangent is given by the quotient between vy and vx, as follows:

tg θ = $\frac{-17.2}{16.6} =-1.036$

⇒ θ = tg⁻¹ (-1.036) = 46º below horizontal.
