Answer:Due to change in direction

Explanation:

Given

Initially train has traveled a 100 km in North and after exchanging some railroad cars, it traveled 100 in south.

The velocity of the train changes as it direction of motion changes. Velocity is the vector quantity which require direction and magnitude for its reperesentation.

Why doesn't the force of gravity change the speed of a bowling ball as it rolls along a bowling lane?
Oliga [24]
Because the gravitational force, which points downward, is perfectly balanced by the normal reaction of the floor of the bowling lane, which points upward. The two forces are equal in magnitude, so the net force acting vertically on the bowling ball is zero, therefore there is no acceleration along this direction. Moreover, since the ball is moving in the horizontal direction, the gravitational force has no component along this direction, so it does not change the velocity of the ball.

What is negative acceleration?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

In an insulated vessel, a quantity of hot water at temperature T1 is mixed with a different quantity of cold water at temperatur
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:Water Only

Explanation:

Given

vessel is insulated therefore no heat can be added or removed i.e. heat exchange is zero

If hot water at T_1 is mixed with cold water at T_2 then at equilibrium vessel contains only water and final temperature of water will be between T_1 and T_2

Heat released by hot water is equal to heat gain by cold water .
