If velocity is decreasing, then acceleration is in the direction
opposite to the velocity.
If the object is moving in the direction that you call 'positive',
then acceleration is negative.
Answer:
<em>To reverse the direction of an electric current, we simply reverse the voltage either automatically with the help of some switching circuitry or manually by changing the voltage source terminals connection. </em>
Explanation:
For electric current to flow, there must be a potential difference, usually referred to as the voltage. The electric current flow is analogous to the flow of water under the action of a pump, through a series of pipe connections. The voltage is similar to the driving action of the pump, and current flows the same way water flows. The resistance due to drag on the pipe wall is equivalent to electric resistance. For current to flow in the reverse direction, the voltage or rather, the potential difference is changed, causing the current to flow in the opposite direction. This can be done by switching the terminals of the voltage source, or by automatic means. The automatic switching can be done with a transistor based circuitry.
Answer:
320 N/m
Explanation:
From Hooke's law, we deduce that
F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring
Making k the subject of formula then

Conversion
1m equals to 100cm
Xm equals 25 cm
25/100=0.25 m
Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m
Answer: 200 N/m
Explanation:
The Gravitational spring energy(Us) is equal to 1/2kx^2. So we have x as .2 m and Us as 4 N. So 4 N = 1/2 * k * .2^2. So now we solve for K and get 200 N/m.
