A great, helpful, useful definition of acceleration is
<em>A = (change in speed) / (time for the change)</em> . <== you should memorize this
This simple tool will directly solve all 3 problems.
The REASON for assigning these problems for homework is NOT to find the answers. It's to help YOU find out whether you know this definition, to let you go back and review it if you don't, and to give you a chance to practice using it if you do. Noticed that if you get the answers from somebody else, you lose all of these benefits.
The only wrinkle anywhere here is in #3, because when you use this definition, the unit of time has to be the same in both the numerator and the denominator.
So for #3, you have to EITHER change the km/hr to km/sec, OR change the 4sec to a fraction of an hour, before you plug anything into the definition.
To have a weight of 2.21N., the ball's mass is (2.21/9.8) = .226kg.
<span>a) d = 1/2 (vt), = 1/2 (18 x .17), = 1.53m. </span>
<span>b) Acceleration of the ball = (v/t), = 18/.17, = 105.88m/sec^2. </span>
<span>f = (ma), = .226 x 105.88, = 23.92N. </span>
<span>the same amount of work being done over a longer period of time.</span>
Answer:
Kinda? Depends what the question is fully asking
Explanation:
Acceleration is a change in velocity. So I guess if the velocity of something is -2 m/s and its positively accelerating at a value of +1 m/s, then that means every second its velocity changes by +1m/s.
So that -2 m/s thing after one second will be going -1 m/s.
After another second it'll be going 0 m/s.
After another itll be going +1 m/s and so on.
So at one point for a brief moment, it can have an acceleration but be at 0 m/s velocity.
