Can a body have two acceleration at a time?​

Physics
1 answer:
bixtya [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. It can be given by :

a = dv/dt

dv is the change in velocity i.e. final velocity-initial velocity

dt is change in time

At a particular time, its change in velocity can be one only. It would imply that a body cannot have two acceleration at a particular time.

A 2.00-kg object traveling east at 20.0 m/s collides with a 3.00-kg object traveling west at 10.0 m/s.
ELEN [110]
Momentum = mass x velocity

Before collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x 20 m /s = 40 kg x m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x -10m/s = -30 kg x m/s

After collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x -5 m/s = -10 m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x V2 = 3V2

Total momentum before = total momentum after
40 + -30 = -10 + 3V2
V2 = <span>6.67 m/s

Total kinetic energy before
</span><span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * 20 m/s * 2 + 3 kg * ( -10 m/s) *2 ]
= 550 J
</span>
<span>Total kinetic energy after
</span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * ( - 5 m/s) * 2 + 3 kg * 6.67 m/s *2 ]
= 91.73 J

Total kinetic energy lost during collision
=<span>550 J - 91.73 J
= 458.27 J</span>

Assuming the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is exactly one-sixth of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, what is t
uysha [10]

<u>I have assumed a weight of 120 N on Earth.</u>

Answer:

<em>The object weighs 20 N on the moon</em>

Explanation:

Weight

The weight of an object depends on the mass m of the object and the acceleration of gravity g of the place they are in.

The formula to calculate the weight is:

W = m.g

If g_e is the acceleration of gravity on Earth, and g_m is the acceleration of gravity on the moon, we know:

g_m=1/6 g_e

Dividing by ge:

g_m/g_e = 1/6

An object of weight We=120 N on planet Earth has a mass of:

m = 120 / g_e

Multiplying by gm:

m.g_m=120 g_m/g_e

Substituting the ratio of accelerations of gravity:

m.g_m=120 * 1/6

Since m.gm is the weight on the Moon Wm:

W_m=20~N

The object weighs 20 N on the moon

If the ball reaches the ground in 8 seconds and the velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 78.4. What is its accelera
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

9.8 m / s^2

Explanation:

Assuming free fall====> there is no initial downward/upward velocity

  Assuming metric units   78.4<u>  m/s </u>

 vf = a t

 78.4 = a (8)     shows     a = 9.8 m/s^2
