A ball is thrown straight up into the air, it reaches the top of its path and then falls back down to its initial position. During its flight, when is it accelerating in the downward direction? Ignore air resistance. - when it's moving up - when it's moving down - always - never
A mine shaft elevator and its payload have a combined mass of 1006 kg. Say the elevator is moving downward at 20 m/s and is brought to rest with a constant acceleration in a distance of 45 m.
An object with a mass of 7.5 kg accelerates 8.3 m/s? when an unknown force is applied to it. What is the amount of the force?
Describe the difference between someone who is accelerating and someone who is only moving at a constant velocity. A person moving a constant velocity will ‘feel’ how fast they are moving. A person accelerating does not feel the acceleration. A person who is accelerating will ‘feel’ that acceleration, but the person moving at constant velocity will not feel the motion. Both of the above. None of the above.
An object is accelerating if it moves 1) with constant velocity 2) in a circular path 3) in a straight-line pathbecause it is undergoing a change in its 4) speed. 5) direction.6) net force.
