Why is acceleration of an object moving at a constant velocity always zero?

Answer:

If an object is moving with a constant velocity, then by definition it has zero acceleration. So there is no net force acting on the object. The total work done on the object is thus 0 (that's not to say that there isn't work done by individual forces on the object, but the sum is 0 ).

Explanation:

In the middle, when the object was changing position at a constant velocity, the acceleration was 0. This is because the object is no longer changing its velocity and is moving at a constant rate.

Answer:

alpha=53.56rad/s

a=5784rad/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, we have to compute the time in which point D has a velocity of v=23ft/s (v0=0ft/s)

$v=v_0+at\\\\t=\frac{v}{a}=\frac{(23\frac{ft}{s})}{32.17\frac{ft}{s^2}}=0.71s$

Now, we can calculate the angular acceleration (w0=0rad/s)

$\theta=\omega_0t +\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\alpha=\frac{2\theta}{t^2}$

$\alpha=\frac{27}{(0.71s)^2}=53.56\frac{rad}{s^2}$

with this value we can compute the angular velocity

$\omega=\omega_0+\alpha t\\\omega = (53.56\frac{rad}{s^2})(0.71s)=38.02\frac{rad}{s}$

and the tangential velocity of point B, and then the acceleration of point B:

$v_t=\omega r=(38.02\frac{rad}{s})(4)=152.11\frac{ft}{s}\\a_t=\frac{v_t^2}{r}=\frac{(152.11\frac{ft}{s})^2}{4ft}=5784\frac{rad}{s^2}$

hope this helps!!

4- by eating food only will you get energy?

Serga [27]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

All parts of the body (muscles, brain, heart, and liver) need energy to work. This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

39.6 m/s

Explanation:

Taking down to be positive:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Δy = 80 m

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (9.8 m/s²) (80 m)

v = 39.6 m/s

What is the difference between parallel and series

DiKsa [7]

In a series circuit, the sum of the voltages consumed by each individual resistance is equal to the source voltage. ... In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.
