What does a negative acceleration mean if the object has positive velocity?

Physics
2 answers:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago

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 .  If velocity and acceleration have opposite signs, you slow down. Negative velocity = You move backwards. Negative acceleration - You slow down or you go faster in the backwards direction

Explanation:

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 aka negative velocity.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]
If we are to place dots to teh places that have been struck by an earthquake these past 100 years, the dots would be concentrated in the east and southeast Asia region. This is because of the presence of the Pacific ring of fire. This is a major area in the Pacific Ocean where most of the earthquakes are likely to occur.

How does a compass, which contains a magnetized needle, tell direction?
slavikrds [6]
<h2>Answer::</h2>

A compass works by detecting and responding to the Earth's natural magnetic fields. The Earth has an iron core that is part liquid and part solid crystal, due to gravitational pressure. It is believed that movement in the liquid outer core is what produces the Earth's magnetic field.','.

Please help me! Uniform acceleration problem sheet:
Brrunno [24]

From the calculation, the value of the acceleration is 5.8 m/s^2.

<h3>What is uniform acceleration?</h3>

The term uniform acceleration refers to a situation in which the velocity increases by equal amounts in equal time intervals.

Given the fact that the car started from rest and reached a velocity of  780.34 mph or 348.84 m/s in 1 minute of 60 seconds;

v = u + at

a = v/t

a = 348.84 m/s/ 60 seconds

a = 5.8 m/s^2

How many photons are absorbed during the dental x-ray?
MariettaO [177]
<span>E=hc/wav. len
E = (6.62 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8)/0.0275 x 10^-9
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15 J
To convert to eV divide by 1.6 x 10^-19
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15/1.6 x 10^-19 eV
E =45.36 x 10^3 eV
Th energy, E, of a single x-ray photon in eV is = 45.36keV.

Number of photons, n = total energy/ energy of photon
n = 3.85 x 10^-6/7.22182 x 10^-15
n = 5.33 x 10^8 photons </span>
