Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

acceleration determines whether you will be adding to or subtracting from the velocity. while negative acceleration means you will subtract from the current value of the velocity and a positive acceleration means you will add

ANSWER:

✔ Positive acceleration represents an object speeding up; negative acceleration represents an object slowing down.

NOTE: Negative acceleration is also called as Retar-dation.

A train travelling at 20 m/s has 2 000 000 J of kinetic energy. What is the mass of<br> the train?

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the train can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{2k}{ {v}^{2} } \\$

k is the kinetic energy

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$m \frac{2(2000000)}{ {20}^{2} } = \frac{4000000}{400} = \frac{40000}{4} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Arm ab has a constant angular velocity of 16 rad/s counterclockwise. At the instant when theta = 60

The <em>linear</em> acceleration of collar D when <em>θ = 60°</em> is - 693.867 inches per square second.

<h3>How to determine the angular velocity of a collar</h3>

In this question we have a system formed by three elements, the element AB experiments a <em>pure</em> rotation at <em>constant</em> velocity, the element BD has a <em>general plane</em> motion, which is a combination of rotation and traslation, and the ruff experiments a <em>pure</em> translation.

To determine the <em>linear</em> acceleration of the collar ( $a_{D}$ ), in inches per square second, we need to determine first all <em>linear</em> and <em>angular</em> velocities ( $v_{D}$ , $\omega_{BD}$ ), in inches per second and radians per second, respectively, and later all <em>linear</em> and <em>angular</em> accelerations ( $a_{D}$ , $\alpha_{BD}$ ), the latter in radians per square second.

By definitions of <em>relative</em> velocity and <em>relative</em> acceleration we build the following two systems of <em>linear</em> equations:

<h3>Velocities</h3>

$v_{D} + \omega_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma = -\omega_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta$ (1)

$\omega_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma = -\omega_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta$ (2)

<h3>Accelerations</h3>

$a_{D}+\alpha_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma = -\omega_{AB}^{2}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta -\alpha_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta - \omega_{BD}^{2}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma$ (3)

$-\alpha_{BD}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \cos \gamma = - \omega_{AB}^{2}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \sin \theta + \alpha_{AB}\cdot r_{AB}\cdot \cos \theta - \omega_{BD}^{2}\cdot r_{BD}\cdot \sin \gamma$ (4)

If we know that $\theta = 60^{\circ}$ , $\gamma = 19.889^{\circ}$ , $r_{BD} = 10\,in$ , $\omega_{AB} = 16\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $r_{AB} = 3\,in$ and $\alpha_{AB} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then the solution of the systems of linear equations are, respectively:

<h3>Velocities</h3>

$v_{D}+3.402\cdot \omega_{BD} = -41.569$ (1)

$9.404\cdot \omega_{BD} = -24$ (2)

$v_{D} = -32.887\,\frac{in}{s}$ , $\omega_{BD} = -2.552\,\frac{rad}{s}$

<h3>Accelerations</h3>

$a_{D}+3.402\cdot \alpha_{BD} = -445.242$ (3)

$-9.404\cdot \alpha_{BD} = -687.264$ (4)

$a_{D} = -693.867\,\frac{in}{s^{2}}$ , $\alpha_{BD} = 73.082\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

The <em>linear</em> acceleration of collar D when <em>θ = 60°</em> is - 693.867 inches per square second. $\blacksquare$

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement is incomplete and figure is missing, complete form is introduced below:

<em>Arm AB has a constant angular velocity of 16 radians per second counterclockwise. At the instant when θ = 60°, determine the acceleration of collar D.</em>
