Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Slowing down: A car decelerating because it's coming up to a red light.

Speeding up: A car accelerating because a red light has turned to a green light.

Moving at a constant speed, but changing direction: A car turning at a curve.

Moving at a constant velocity, with zero acceleration: A car on an empty highway.

Explanation:

Drive a car around or look at cars on the highway, you'll see the examples listed above happening all the time.

This problem has been solved!
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward.

Explanation:

When a ball is tossed vertically upwards, it reaches its maximum point. This maximum point is known as the maximum height of the ball. At this maximum height, its velocity is zero, its acceleration is directed downwards and the force of gravity acting in the ball is directed downwards towards the earth.

The distance covered by a car at a time, t is given by x = 20t + 6t4, calculate
Anni [7]

Answer:

(i) v = 44 m/s

(ii) a = 72 m/s^2

Explanation:

You have the following equation for the potion of a car:

x=20t+6t^4

(i) The instantaneous velocity is the derivative of x in time:

\frac{dx}{dt}=20+(6)(4)t^3=20+24t^3

for t = 1 is:

v(t=1)=\frac{dx}{dt}=20+24(1)^3=44m/s

(ii) The instantaneous acceleration is the derivative of the velocity:

\frac{dv}{dt}=24(3)t^2=72t^2

for t = 1

a(t=1)=\frac{dv}{dt}=72(1)^2=72m/s^2

An astronaut of mass 65kg in training rides in a seat that is moved in uniform circular motion by a radial arm 5.10 meters long.
ikadub [295]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 2868 Newtons

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Centripetal force is a force that acts on an object or a body in circular path and is directed towards the center of the circular path.

Centripetal force is given by the formula;

mv²/r ; where m is the mass of the body, r is the radius of the circular path and v is the velocity of a body;

mass = 65 kg, velocity = 15 m/s and r = 5.1 m

Therefore;

Centripetal force = (65 × 15²)/ 5.10

                            = 2867.65 Newtons

                            = 2868 N
