If Equal distance is traveled in equal interval of time then it is known as uniform motion in which velocity of object will remain same.

Then if distance covered will be same and the time taken to cover same distance is decreasing then it shows that speed is increasing with time due to which it took less time to cover same distance. This is also known as positive acceleration.

Now if the distance covered will be same and time taken to cover same distance is increasing then it shows that speed is decreasing with time due to which it took more time to cover the same distance. This is also known as negative acceleration.

Now in the above case it is given that the first mile takes you 10 minutes. The second mile takes you 20 minutes. So the time taken is increasing while we cover same distance so this is an example of <u>Negative Acceleration</u>

A certain lightbulb has a tungsten filament with a resistance of 26 Ω when cold and 170 Ω when hot. If the equation R = R0 [1 +

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation: The equation that relates resistance of tungsten at different temperatures is as follows

R = R₀ [1 + α ∆T] , R₀ is resistance at lower temperature , R is resistance at higher temperature . α is temperature coefficient of resistivity and ∆T is rise in temperature .

Putting the values

170 = 26 [1 + .0045 ∆T]

∆T = 1230.75

lower temperature = 40◦C

higher temperature = 1230 + 40

= 1270◦C

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of +29.4 for 3.98 s. it runs out of fuel at the end of the 3.98 s

topjm [15]

U = 0, initial upward speed
a = 29.4 m/s², acceleration up to 3.98 s
a = -9.8 m/s², acceleration after 3.98s

Let h₁ = the height at time t, for t ≤ 3.98 s
Let h₂ = the height at time t > 3.98 s

Motion for t ≤ 3.98 s:
h₁ = (1/2)*(29.4 m/s²)*(3.98 s)² = 232.854 m
Calculate the upward velocity at t = 3.98 s
v₁ = (29.4 m/s²)*(3.98 s) = 117.012 m/s

Motion for t > 3.98 s
At maximum height, the upward velocity is zero.
Calculate the extra distance traveled before the velocity is zero.
(117.012 m/s)² + 2*(-9.8 m/s²)*(h₂ m) = 0
h₂ = 698.562 m

The total height is
h₁ + h₂ = 232.854 + 698.562 = 931.416 m

Answer: 931.4 m (nearest tenth)
