Both the velocity and acceleration are vector quantities. It means that this parameter does not only have magnitude, but also the direction of motion. The direction is incorporated by the + or - sign depending on the sign convention. In this case, the downward motion is + while the upward motion is -. Thus, the velocity is equal to +0.89 m/s while the acceleration is -2.92 m/s².
Answer:
<u>Box 1</u>
Explanation:
Formula we are using :
<u>Force = mass × acceleration</u>
or
<u>mass = Force / acceleration</u> (since mass needs to be found)
=============================================================
Box 1 :
⇒ mass = 5 N / 5 m/s²
⇒ mass = 1 kg
=========================================================
Box 2 :
⇒ mass = 5 N / 0.75 m/s²
⇒ mass = 5 × 4/3 = 20/3 kg
⇒ mass = 6.67 kg
===========================================================
Box 3 :
⇒ mass = 5 N / 4.3 m/s²
⇒ mass = 50/43 kg
⇒ mass = 1.16 kg
===========================================================
On comparing Box 1, Box 2, and Box 3, we understand that <u>Box 1</u> has the smallest mass
Answer:
North of west
Explanation:
Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.
a = Δv / Δt
The x component of the acceleration is:
aₓ = (0 − v₁ₓ) / (t₂ − t₁)
aₓ = -v₁ₓ / (t₂ − t₁)
aₓ < 0
The y component of the acceleration is:
aᵧ = (v₂ − v₁ᵧ) / (t₂ − t₁)
aᵧ > 0
Therefore, the acceleration points northwest.
