Sure. The acceleration may be decreasing, but as long as it stays
in the same direction as the velocity, the velocity increases.
I think you meant to ask whether the body can have increasing velocity
with negative acceleration. That answer isn't simple either.
If the body's velocity is in the positive direction, then positive acceleration
means speeding up, and negative acceleration means slowing down.
BUT ... If the body's velocity is in the negative direction, then positive
acceleration means slowing down, and negative acceleration means
speeding up.
I know that's confusing.
-- Take a piece of scratch paper, write a 'plus' sign at one edge and
a 'minus' sign at the other edge. Those are the definitions of which
direction is positive and which direction is negative.
-- Then sketch some cars ... one traveling in the positive direction, and
one driving in the negative direction. Those are the directions of the
velocities.
-- Now, one car at a time:
. . . . . first push on the back of the car, in the direction it's moving;.
. . . . . then push on the front of the car, against its motion.
Each push causes the car to accelerate in the direction of the push.
When you see it on paper, all the positive and negative velocities
and accelerations will come clear for you.
Answer:
d = 44.64 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Net force acting on the car, F = -8750 N
The mass of the car, m = 1250 kg
Initial speed of the car, u = 25 m/s
Final speed, v = 0 (it stops)
The formula for the net force is :
F = ma
a is acceleration of the car
Let d be the breaking distance. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :
So, the required distance covered by the car is 44.64 m.
Electrical generator which operates using a magnetic field. It is the beginning of modern dynamos.
Answer:
202.95J
Explanation:
The formulae for the energy absorbed by the iron skillet is;
q=m*c*ΔФ where q=energy absorbed, m is mass of iron skillet, c is specific heat capacity and ΔФ is change in temperature
Given that;
m= 41g
ΔФ=20°-9°=11°
c=0.45 J/g°C
q= 41×0.45×11
q= 202.95 J
