(forces and motion) explain in 3-2 sentences why acceleration is interesting.

Physics
1 answer:
Luden [163]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  • Acceleration is a vector and is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. Acceleration is not going fast.
  • If a person is moving fast but not changing speed, he is not accelerating.
  • The person or object has to be going fast sometimes, faster sometimes, or slower sometimes.

3. If a car is moving at 90km/hr and it rounds a corner, also at 90km/hr. Does it maintain
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Constant speed: yes

Constant velocity: no

Explanation:

Let's remind the definition of speed and velocity:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (regardless of the direction) and the time taken:

s=\frac{d}{t}

- Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude is equal to the rate between the displacement of the object and the time taken, while the direction is the same as the displacement.

In this problem, we notice that:

- The speed of the car remains constant, as it is 90 km/h

- However, its direction of motion changes while the car travels round the corner: this means that the direction of the velocity is also changing, therefore velocity is not constant.

17. Suppose you were standing on a scale in an elevator in free fall. What would the scale read?
lianna [129]

What would the scale read? zero

18 In free fall you are being pulled by a gravity. "Truly" weightless presumably happens in deep space where there is nothing to pull you.

19 coasters accelerate down to simulate weight loss/zeroised. As do NASA planes,

Roller coasters are for fun seekers. NASA is for science

. Consider a fully extended arm that is rotating about the shoulder such that with a shoulder-to-hand length of 30 cm. If the ar
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

13.309 m/s²

Explanation:

Length from shoulder to hand, l = 30 cm = 0.3 m

initial velocity, u = 1 m/s

final velocity, v = 2.5 m/s

time, t = 3 s

Let the tangential acceleration is a.

by using first equation of motion

v = u + at

2.5 = 1 + 3 a

a = 0.5 m/s²

Let the centripetal acceleration is a'.

a' = v'²/l

a' = 2 x 2 / 0.3

a' = 13.3 m/s²

The tangential acceleration and the centripetal acceleration are both perpendicular to each other. So, the net acceleration is given by

A=\sqrt{a^{2}+a'^{2}}

A=\sqrt{0.5^{2}+13.3^{2}}

A = 13.309 m/s²

Movement of a molecule against its concentration gradient can occur through Select one or more: a. facilitated diffusion b. pass
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

There are two kinds of cell transport passive transportation and active transportation.

Passive transportation does not need energy because molecules move from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Active transportation needs energy because molecules moves against concentration.  

a. facilitated diffusion It's an example of passive transportation so this answer is wrong.

b. passive transport Molecules move in favor of concentration so this answer is wrong.

c. osmosis is another example of passive transport so this answer is wrong.

d. simple diffusion it's another example of passive transport, so it's wrong this answer.

e. active transport this is the right answer.
