What does acceleration mean???

2 answers:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.

How can you tell if an igneous rock has an intrusive or extrusive origin?

wariber [46]

Intrusive igneous rocks cool down from magma slowly because they form underneath the surface, that will make them have large crystals.

Extrusive igneous rocks cool down from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so that will make them have small crystals.

Why the bulb of thermometer in cylindrical

crimeas [40]

I'm not accurately sure if you're asking for why the bulb of a thermometer is in a cylindrical shape. So let me continue. The shape of the which is thin and cylindrical in the shape is the increase of the effect of mercury in the tube to rise and fall depending on the contact temperature.

bumper car A (281 kg) moving +2.82 m/s makes an elastic collision with bumper car B (209 kg) moving -1.72 m/s. what is the veloc

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The final velocity of the car A is -1.053 m/s.

Explanation:

For an elastic collision both the kinetic energy and the momentum of the system are conserved.

Let us call

$m_A$ = mass of car A;

$v_{A1}$ = the initial velocity of car A;

$v_{A2}$ = the final velocity of car A;

and

$m_B$ = mass of car B;

$v_{B1}$ = the initial velocity of car B;

$v_{B2}$ = the final velocity of car B.

Then, the law of conservation of momentum demands that

$m_Av_{A1}+m_Bv_{B1} =m_Av_{A2}+m_Bv_{B2}$

And the conservation of kinetic energy says that

$\dfrac{1}{2} m_Av_{A1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_Bv_{B1}^2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_Av_{A2}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_Bv_{B2}^2$

These two equations are solved for final velocities $v_{A2}$ and $v_{B2}$ to give

$v_{A2} =\frac{m_A-m_B}{m_A+m_B} v_{A1}+\frac{2m_B}{m_A+m_B} v_{B1}$

$v_{B2} =\frac{2m_A}{m_A+m_B} v_{A1}+\frac{m_B-m_A}{m_A+m_B} v_{B1}$

by putting in the numerical values of the variables we get

$v_{A2} =\frac{281-209}{281+209} (2.82)+\frac{2*209}{281+209} (-1.72)$

$\boxed{v_{A2} = -1.05m/s}$

and

$v_{B2} =\frac{2*281}{281+209} (2.82)+\frac{209-281}{281+209} (-1.72)$

$\boxed{v_{B2} = 3.49m/s}$

Thus, the final velocity of the car A is -1.053 m/s and of car B is 3.49 m/s.

An empty plate capacitor is connected between the terminals ofa 9.0 V battery and charged up. The capacitor is then disconnected

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The new voltage between the parallel plates of the capacitor is 18V, because for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage) between the plates.

Explanation:

ΔV = E*Δd

Where;

ΔV is the change in potential difference

Δd is the change in the distance between the parallel plates

E is the electric field potential.

Assuming a constant electric field; $E = \frac{v}{d} , then; \frac{v_1}{d_1} =\frac{v_2}{d_2}$

when the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled, d₂ = 2d₁

v₂ = (v₁*d₂)/(d₁)

v₂ = (v₁*2d₁)/(d₁)

v₂ = 2v₁

v₂ = 2(9) = 18 V

Therefore, for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage).
