I know the acceleration due to gravity (ie 9.8 m/s2) will have a negative sign when falling down, a positive one when going up.

Physics

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Accerelation is measured by change in velocity. So naturally, if an object is slowing down, its velocity is decreasing so acceleration is negative. If it is speeding up velocity is increasing so positive acceleration.

(Velocity final - Velocity initial)/t

Note that this does not apply only to gravity, but to all linear accelerations

A boat is heading due north across a river with a speed of 12.0 km/h relative to the water. The water in the river has a uniform
irga5000 [103]
<h2>The velocity of the boat relative to an observer standing on either bank = u = 18 \frac{km}{hr}</h2>

Explanation:

Let speed of the boat in still water = u \frac{km}{hr}

speed of the river water = v \frac{km}{hr}

Relative speed of the boat in the water against the river flow is given by

Upstream speed = u - v ------- (1)

⇒ u - v = 12 \frac{km}{hr} ------ (2)

Given that speed of the water = 6 \frac{km}{hr}

Now velocity of the boat is given From equation (2)

⇒ u = 12 + v

Put the value of v = 6 , we get

⇒ u = 12 + 6

⇒ u =  18 \frac{km}{hr}

therefore , the velocity of the boat relative to an observer standing on either bank = u = 18 \frac{km}{hr}

(a) Assume the equation x = At3 + Bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t ha
SashulF [63]

Answer:

A = [L*T^-3]

B = [L*T^1]

Explanation:

The equation

x = A*t^3 + B*t

has multiple terms that when added together result in x. We know x has dimension of length, so all the terms must have dimensions of length too.

A*t^3 = [L]

A*[T^3] = [L]

A = [L/T^3]

A = [L*T^-3]

And

B*t = [L]

B*[T] = [L]

B = [L/T]

B = [L*T^-1]

Suppose the balloon is descending with a constant speed of 4.2 m/s when the bag of sand comes loose at a height of 35 m. What is
Margaret [11]

Answer:

2.28 s

Explanation:

Let g = 9.8 m/s2 and neglect air resistance. The box of sand with an initial velocity of 4.2m/s in free fall would yield the following equation of motion

s = v_0t + gt^2/2

35 = 4.2t + 9.8t^2/2

4.9t^2 + 4.2t - 35 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{-4.2\pm \sqrt{(4.2)^2 - 4*(4.9)*(-35)}}{2*(4.9)}

t= \frac{-4.2\pm26.53}{9.8}

t = 2.28 or t = -3.14

Since t can only be positive we will pick t = 2.28 s
