Answer:

<em>Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration</em>

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

Both the velocity and acceleration are vectors because they have magnitude and direction. When the motion is restricted to one dimension, i.e. left-right or up-down, the direction is marked with the sign according to some preset reference.

The locomotive is moving at a certain speed with a (so far) unknown sign but the acceleration has a negative sign. Since the locomotive comes to a complete stop it means the velocity and the acceleration are of opposite signs.

Thus the velocity is positive.

Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration

Give an example of a compound machine. Explain how at least two simple machines are part of the complex machine. Thank you !!
kaheart [24]

A compound machine is a combination of at least two simple machines. Simple machines can be a lever, a wedge, a while + axle, an incline plane, a pulley, and a screw.

There are many examples of compound machines. One of them is a showel that combines a wedge (the scoop part of shovel) and a lever (the handle to transfer the force to lift).

A much more complex compound machine is a bicycle, comprising simple machines ranging from wheels and axles, to screws, and levers (think of the pedals).

Which rope would have the longest wavelength-one with a frequency of 2 hz or one with a frequency of 3 hz?
Elis [28]
The frequency f is related to the wavelength \lambda by the equation
\lambda =  \frac{v}{f}
where v is the speed of the wave in the rope.

We can see from the formula that, if v is kept constant, smaller frequency means larger wavelength. So, the rope with frequency 2 Hz will have the longest wavelength.

Calculate P3 (in W). W (b) Find the total power (in W) supplied by the source. W Compare the total power with the sum of the pow
noname [10]

Answer:

the principle of conservation of energy cannot be violated.

the correct one is: The total power is equal to the sum of the powers dissipated by the resistors.

Explanation:

The power in an electric circuit is given by

         P == I V

In a circuit with several components (resistors) the power dissipated is the current by the voltage in each resistance, by the principle of conservation of energy the current in each resistance is the same if the circuit is in series and the current is the same if The circuit is in parallel, but cannot be greater than the current supplied by the power source.

Therefore, the power dissipated by the entire circuit is the sum of the power dissipated by each part, since the principle of conservation of energy cannot be violated.

When reviewing the answers, the correct one is: The total power is equal to the sum of the powers dissipated by the resistors.

A 140 g air-track glider is attached to a spring. The glider is pushed in 8.2 cm against the spring, then released. A student wi
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The period of oscillation is given as

T=2π√m/k

Making k subject of the formula

Square both sides of the equation

T²=4π²(m/k)

Cross multiply

T²k=4π²m

Then, divide through by T²

k=4π²m/T²

Where

k is spring constant

m is the mass of the bob

And T is the period of the oscillation

m=140g=0.14kg

14 oscillations takes 14 seconds

Then the period is

T=time/oscillation

T=14/14

T=1sec

Then,

k=4π²m/T²

k=4π²×0.14/1²

k=1.76N/m

Then, the spring constant is 1.76N/m

When a 58g tennis ball is served, it accelerates from rest to a constant speed of 36 m/s. The impact with the racket gives the b
inysia [295]
We first calculate the acceleration on the ball using:
2as = v² - u²; u = 0 because ball is initially at rest
a = (36)²/(2 x  0.35)
a = 1850 m/s²
F = ma
F = 0.058 x 1850
= 107.3 Newtons
