Is it possible for speed to be constant while acceleration is not zero give an example of such a situation?
Is it possible for speed to be constant while acceleration is not zero? No, in one dimension constant speed requires zero acceleration.
What factors affect acceleration of a car?
The car’s power and torque.
Is it possible to have constant velocity but still be accelerating?
If a body has constant velocity, it means that the magnitude of the velocity and the direction of the velocity vector will remain constant. Since speed is equal to the magnitude of the velocity vector, it will also be constant. Hence, a body can have a constant speed and still be accelerating.
Is it possible for velocity to be constant while acceleration is zero explain?
It would momentarily have zero speed (the magnitude of the velocity is zero) at the top of its motion, but the change in velocity is not zero, because the direction of the object’s motion is changing from upward to downward.
What might directly affect the acceleration rate of a vehicle?
Acceleration rate most frequently occurring at signalized intersection depends on, vehicle characteristics, geometry of intersection, nature and extent of hindrance to A/D of subject vehicle, driver attitude to speeding, etc. (Long, 2000).
What happens to its acceleration as its mass increases?
If you increase the mass at a given force the rate of acceleration slows. Therefore, mass is inversely proportional to acceleration.
Is it possible to slow down and accelerate at the same time?
Yes. Even though the initial and final speeds are the same, there has been a change in direction for the object. Thus, there is an acceleration. The object was moving rightward and slowed down to 0 m/s before changing directions and speeding up while traveling leftward.
Is it possible to speed up while acceleration is decreasing?
Originally Answered: Is it possible for an object to be speeding up while it’s acceleration is decreasing? Yes! If it’s acceleration is decreasing, it has negative jerk (rate of change of acceleration), but it’s acceleration could still be positive, such that it’s velocity (and hence speed) is increasing.
What is the acceleration of a car at 0 mph?
A car’s acceleration is calculated when the car is not in motion (0 mph), until the amount of time it takes to reach a velocity of 60 miles per hour. This means that the initial velocity is zero and the final velocity is 60 miles per hour (26.82 meters per second).
What is the relationship between acceleration and Mass in a car?
Answer number 2: They stop in the same amount of time. Yes, it’s true that the car has a lower mass and a higher acceleration. However, it starts with a much larger velocity since the two vehicles have the same starting momentum.
Is it possible for a car to accelerate on a curve?
Well, yes, it could happen if the curve is banked, and the car had precisely the right speed. Here’s how: All forces on the car are vertical, so no horizontal force can be generated. The normal force on the car due to the road is no longer vertical, so a component of the normal force acts in the horizontal direction.
What is the acceleration of a high performance car?
A high performance car is basically any automobile that can accelerate very quickly in a short amount of time. To calculate the actual acceleration you need to use the formula. a = delta-v/t = v f – v i/t. where “a”is the acceleration, “delta-v” is the change in velocity, v i is the initial velocity, v f is the final velocity, and t equals time.
