Before you start working on any motion problem, YOU decide which direction you're going to call 'positive'. Everybody almost always calls UP positive, and the acceleration of gravity points down, so it winds up negative. But you could just as well call DOWN the positive direction. Then, the cannonball is fired with a negative vertical speed, and the acceleration of gravity eventually robs all of its negative speed, and makes it start falling in the positive direction. The whole thing is your choice.
Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors
For an inelastic collision where coefficient of restitution,e, is equal to 0, the momentum is conserved but not the kinetic energy. So, there is addition or elimination of kinetic energy.
On the otherhand, when e = 1, like for an elastic collision, kinetic energy and momentum is conserved. Thus, the system's kinetic energy is unchanged.
Answer: A) Transformer
Explanation: A Transformer is an apparatus, device or a component in a system that is used to convert high voltage into low voltage. It is used to either increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current.
A transformer uses the basic principle of electro magnetic induction, having two or more coils, the voltage is changed from one coil to another but with thesame frequency as alternating current energy passes through them.
