Answer:

0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

In a projectile motion, the kinetic energy (KE) of the projectile is converted to gravitational potential energy (GPE) and then from GPE back to KE.

In this example, the spring toy is the projectile. Refer to the diagram attached.

  • The spring toy started with a velocity of 12\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}, meaning that its initial KE is non-zero.
  • On the way up, the KE of this spring toy gets converted to GPE.
  • At the top of the trajectory, the GPE of this toy is maximized while its KE is minimized (zero).
  • As the toy returns to the ground, the GPE of this toy gets converted back to KE.
  • The GPE of this toy is zero when the toy is on the ground.

In other words, the kinetic energy (KE) of this toy would be 0 when it is at the top of the trajectory and GPE is maximized.

Since the KE of this toy at the top of the trajectory would be 0, the velocity of this toy at that moment would also be 0\!.

Under what condition is the instantaneous acceleration of a moving body equal to its average acceleration over time?
Rzqust [24]
If the acceleration is constant (negative or positive) the instantaneous acceleration cannot be

Average acceleration: [final velocity - initial velocity ] /Δ time

Instantaneous acceleration = d V / dt =slope of the velocity vs t graph

If acceleration is increasing, the slope of the curve at one moment will be higher than the average acceleration.

If acceleration is decreasing, the slope of the curve at one moment will be lower than the average acceleration.

If acceleration is constant, the acceleration at any moment is the same, then only at constant accelerations, the instantaneuos acceleration is the same than the average acceleration.

Constant zero acceleration is a particular case of constant acceleration, so at constant zero acceleration  the instantaneous accelerations is the same than the average acceleration: zero. But, it is not true that only at zero acceleration the instantaneous acceleration is equal than the average acceleration.

That is why the only true option and the answer  is the option D. only at constant accelerations.

How do intensity, frequency, and time affect physical fitness?
Y_Kistochka [10]
Important bc it makes it more effective, the specific rate makes or breaks the fitness. Frequency is important to allow your body to rebuild and repair the damage from working out, it allows the body to adapt and time for rest/ healing. Intensity depends on how much your body breaks so the recover time and frequency must be adjusted. Time effects because of the distance between frequencies which plays a role.

A Smart Car, which has a mass of 1000 kg, is going 20 m/s. When it hits the barrier, it stops with a time of 0.5 seconds. What i
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Explanation:

Mass m = 1000 kg

speed v₁ = 20 m/s

speed v₂ = 0 m/s

We know that,

The change in momentum

ΔP = m (Δv)

ΔP = m (v₂ - v₁)

     = 1000 (0 - 20)

     = 1000 (-20)

     = -20000 kg m/s

Thus, the change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Note: negative sign indicates that the velocity is reducing when it hits the barrier.
