In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.

the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards

the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

For instance:

upward motion for velocity ↑ downward motion for velocity ↓

↑ ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

↓

PLEASE ANSWER QUICK!! What happens at the condensation point?A. Molecules of a liquid heat up and begin to convert to a gaseous

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

D. Molecules of a gas slow down and change to a liquid state.

Explanation:

Condensation refers to a process by which a gas changes from gaseous state to liquid state. For example, water vapor changes to from the state of being a gas to liquid state water.
Condensation is the opposite of evaporation and occurs when gaseous particles slow down and change into liquid state.
Heat energy is lost during condensation and gaseous molecules lose kinetic energy making them to slow down and thus changing to liquid state,

150c passes through cell in 30 seconds. cell has a potential difference of 12v. what is current in the circuit

zzz [600]

The current in the circuit is 5 A

Explanation:

The intensity of current is given by the equation:

$I=\frac{q}{t}$

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge passing through a given point of the circuit in a time interval of t

For the cell in this problem, we have

q = 150 C is the charge

t = 30 s is the time interval

Substituting into the equation, we f ind

$I=\frac{150}{30}=5 A$

The height of a projectile t seconds after it is launched straight up in the air is given by f (t )equals negative 16 t squared

velikii [3]

Answer:

$\displaystyle a(5)=-32$

Explanation:

Instant Acceleration

The kinetic magnitudes are usually related as scalar or vector equations. By doing so, we are assuming the acceleration is constant over time. But when the acceleration is variable, the relations are in the form of calculus equations, specifically using derivatives and/or integrals.

Let f(t) be the distance traveled by an object as a function of the time t. The instant speed v(t) is defined as:

$\displaystyle v(t)=\frac{df}{dt}$

And the acceleration is

$\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}$

Or equivalently

$\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{d^2f}{d^2t}$

The given height of a projectile is

$f(t)=-16t^2 +238t+3$

Let's compute the speed

$\displaystyle v(t)=-32t+238$

And the acceleration

$\displaystyle a(t)=-32$

It's a constant value regardless of the time t, thus

$\boxed{\displaystyle a(5)=-32}$

Amplitude and energy are inversely related, meaning that a high-energy wave has low amplitude and a low-energy wave has high amp

Elodia [21]

According to the physical fact that amplitude and energy have proportional values, this statement is definitely FALSE. Pay attention on the words '' inversely related'', that will be the main point which will make it absolutely clear. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Regards.

A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?

ryzh [129]

Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut (here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired
