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

Physics
2 answers:
Sedaia [141]2 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.

Un auto de 1000 kg que lleva una velocidad de 72 km/h se detiene en una distancia de 100 metros cuando se le aplican los frenos.
Flura [38]

Answer:

a)    F = 2000 N , B)   x = 25 m

Explanation:

a) To solve this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

          W = ΔK

The job is

           W = -F x

the negative sign is because the force of the brakes is contrary to the movement

as the car stops its final kinetic energy is zero

           K = ½ m v²

let's substitute

         - F x = 0 - ½ m v²

            F = ½ m v² / x

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

           v = 72 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 20 m / s

let's calculate

          F = ½ 1000 20²/100

          F = 2000 N

b) x = ½ mv2 / F

let's slow down to the SI system

         v = 36 km / h = 10 m / s

let's calculate

             x = ½ 1000 10²/2000

             x = 25 m

A hollow cast-iron cylinder 4m long, 300mm outer diameter, and thickness of metal 50mm is subjected to a central load on the top
Sveta_85 [38]

Here, the calculated Magnitude of the load P is 2945.2 kN, the Longitudinal strain produced is 0.0005 and the decrease in length is 2 mm.

Given,

Length, L = 4 m

Outer diameter, D = 300mm, D= 0.3 m

Thickness, t = 50 mm, t = 0.05 m

Stress produced, σ = 75000 kN/m²

Young's modulus for cast iron, E = 1.5 x 10⁸ kN/m²

Calculating the diameter of the cylinder,

Diameter of cylinder, d = (D) – (2t) = 0.3 –( 2 × 0.05)

d= 0.2 m

(i) Magnitude of the load P:

Using the relation, σ =P/A

P = σ × A = 75000 × π /4 (D² – d² )

P= 75000 × π/4 (0.3² – 0.2²)

P= 75000 × π/4 (0.09 – 0.04)

P = 2945.2 kN

Hence, Magnitude of the load P is 2945.2 kN.

(ii) Longitudinal strain produced, e :

Using the relation, Strain, (e) = stress/E

e= 75000/(1.5 x 10⁸)= 0.0005

Hence, the Longitudinal strain produced is 0.0005.

(iii)Total decrease in length, dL:

The total decrease in length can be calculated using the strain as the ratio of change in length to the original length is known as Strain.

Strain = change in length/original length

e= dL/L

0.0005 = dL/4

dL = 0.0005 × 4m = 0.002m=2mm

Hence,the decrease in length is 2 mm.

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. how much time does it ta
Yuri [45]

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. The time taken by the car will be 4 seconds. the correct answer is option(c).

When acceleration is constant, the rate of change in velocity is also constant. In the absence of any acceleration, velocity remains constant. When acceleration is positive, velocity becomes more significant.

Let a denote acceleration, u denote initial velocity, v denote final velocity, and t denote time.

The equation of motion is stated as,

v = u + at

v² = u² + 2as

A car travels across a distance of 60.0 m while accelerating constantly from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s.

Then the time taken by the car will be,

u = 12 m/s

v = 18 m/s

s = 60 m

Put these in the equation v² = u² + 2as.

18² = 12² + 2 x a x 60

a = 1.5

Then the time will be

18 = 12 + 1.5t

1.5t = 6

t = 4 seconds

Hence, the time taken is 4 s.

The complete question is:

While accelerating at a constant rate from 12.0 m/s to 18.0 m/s, a car moves over a distance of 60.0 m. How much time does it take?

1.00 s

2.50 s

4.00 s

4.50 s
