Students have asked these similar questions
Can an object have a negative acceleration and be speeding up? If so, describe a possible physical situation and a corresponding coordinate system. If not, explain why not.
Can a car traveling west simultaneously have an acceleration pointing east? If not, explain clearly why not. If yes, give a clear example of a situation in which it could occur.
From the top of a cliff, a person throws a stone straight downward. The initial speed of the stone just after leaving the person's hand is 9.9 m/s.
(a) What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the stone while it moves downward, after leaving the person's hand? Also, is the stone's speed increasing or decreasing?
(b) After 0.48 s, how far beneath the top of the cliff is the stone? (Give just the distance fallen, that is, a magnitude.)

Can you calculate the average acceleration in this half hour of travel? a) No, because we do not know the starting position or the final position of that half hour of travel. b) No, because we do not know how the direction of the train changed in the other moments of that half hour of travel. c) Yes, and it has a magnitude of 30.0 km/h?? westward. d) Yes, and it has a magnitude of 30.0 km / h²2? to the east.arrow_forward

To aid in his quest, he has donned a pair of ACME brand rocket-propelled roller skates. The skates accelerate the coyote at 11.0 m/s² in the horizontal direction. The roadrunner is moving at a constant speed toward a cliff. The coyote is initially at rest 65.0 m from the cliff at the instant the roadrunner moves past him. (In all questions below, assume right is the positive x-direction and up is the positive y-direction. Also assume you can apply real-world physics principles, as opposed to "cartoon physics.") BEEP ВЕЕР (a) What minimum constant speed (in m/s) must the roadrunner have to reach the cliff before the coyote does? m/s The roadrunner suddenly turns at the edge of the cliff, while the coyote continues straight ahead. The coyote's skates remain horizontal and continue to operate while he is in flight, so his acceleration while in the air is (11.01 - 9.80ĵ) m/s².

- A student throws a ball straight up in the air, which of the following statement is true after the ball leaves her hand and while in the air? The velocity of the ball is always in the same direction as its acceleration. The velocity of the ball is never in the same direction as its acceleration. The acceleration of the ball is zero. The velocity of the ball is opposite its acceleration on the way up.
