When an object is moving to the left and slowing down, what direction is the acceleration?

Physics
1 answer:
otez555 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

According to our principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a negative acceleration. In Example D, the object is moving in the negative direction (i.e., has a negative velocity) and is speeding up.

A ball of mass 0.440 kg moving east (+x direction) with a speed of 3.80 m/s collides head-on with a 0.220-kg ball at rest. If th
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The speed and direction of each ball after the collision is  1.27 m/s to East direction and  5.07 m/s to East direction.

Explanation:

given information

m₁ = 0.440 kg

v₁ = 3.80 m/s

m₂ = 0.220 kg

v₂ = 0

collision is perfectly elastic

v₁ - v₂ = - (v₁'- v₂')

v₁ =  - (v₁'- v₂')

v₂' = v₁ + v₁'

according to momentum conservation energy

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'

m₁v₁  = m₁v₁' + m₂(v₁ + v₁')

m₁v₁  =  m₁v₁' + m₂v₁ + m₂v₁'

m₁v₁ - m₂v₁ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₁'

v₁ (m₁ - m₂) = (m₁ + m₂) v₁'

v₁' = (m₁ - m₂)v₁ / (m₁ + m₂)

    = (0.440 - 0.220) (3.8) / (0.440 + 0.220)

     = 1.27 m/s to East direction

v₂' = v₁ + v₁'

    = 3.8 + 1.27

= 5.07 m/s to East direction

A particle vibrates in Simple Harmonic Motion with amplitude. What will be its displacement in one time-period? A 2A 4A 0
yan [13]

'Displacement' is the distance and direction between the starting point and
ending point, regardless of the path followed to get there.

A particle that's executing simple harmonic motion is always in the same place
where it was one time period ago, and where it will be later after another time
period has passed. 

So its displacement during exactly one time period is exactly zero.

What is the correct sequence for light traveling through a microscope?
Alexandra [31]
The answer would be B. 

Since the light source comes from the bottom, you just need to find the sequence from the bottom going up. 

It will start with the light source, then go through the slide, which will then go through the objective lens and lastly, the eyepiece lens. In summary, the sequence is:
 
B. Light --- slide ---- objective lens --- eyepiece lens
