Can the velocity of a body reverse the direction when acceleration is constant? If you think so, give an example.

Physics
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago
8 0

Consider a particle moving to the left with some speed v. If we take leftward to be the negative direction, then the particle's velocity is -v, and it's moving in the negative direction.

Now give the particle a positive acceleration pointing rightward. The particle will eventually slow to a stop before increasing its speed in the positive direction.

So the answer is yes, the direction in which a body is moving can be reversed with constant acceleration.

A vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 39 kPa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 92 kPa. Determine the absolute
Nata [24]

Answer: 53 kPa

Explanation:

Absolute pressure is a pressure value referred to absolute zero or vacuum. This value indicates the total pressure to which a body or system (the chamber in this situation) is subjected, considering the total pressure acting on it.

In this sense, the equation that will be useful in this case is:

P_{atmospheric}= P_{absolute} + P_{vacuum}  (1)

Where:

P_{atmospheric}=92 kPa is the atmospheric pressure

P_{vacuum}=39 kPa is the vacuum pressure

P_{absolute} is the absolute pressure

Isolating P_{absolute}  from (1):

P_{absolute}=P_{atmospheric} - P_{vacuum}  (2)

P_{absolute}=92 kPa - 39 kPa  (3)

Finally:

P_{absolute}=53 kPa=53(10)^{3} Pa This is the absolute pressure in the chamber

What is a gravitational force...??
o-na [289]
The simplest answer is that gravity is the field created by a mass distribution in the spacetime around it; gravitational force is the force exterted by the field on a test mass in the field.

A birdcage with mass 22.5kg at rest on a living room floor is acted on by a net horizontal force of
patriot [66]

m = mass of the birdcage = 22.5 kg

F = net force acting on birdcage to move it = 140 N

a = acceleration produced due to the force applied

a)

Using newton's second law

a = F/m

inserting the values

a = 140/22.5

a = 6.22 m/s²


b)

t = time of travel of crate = 10.5 s

v₀ = initial velocity of the crate = 0 m/s

X = displacement of the crate

displacement of the crate is given as

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

X = 0 (10.5) + (0.5) (6.22) (10.5)²

X = 342.88 m

Energy is always conserved. It cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred between objects or systems, from
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Have in mind: Energy is always conserved and, (...) be transferred between objects or systems, from one form to another.

Hence, the true relation is C, when a system gains kinetic energy, it loses potential energy.

Think about this,

K + P = constant

If K increases, then P need to decreases to holds the above relation.
