Initially, the magnetic domains within the nail were oriented in various directions before coming into contact with the bar magnet. Upon Taylor touching the nail to the bar magnet, the magnetic fields of those domains became aligned, thus transforming the nail into a temporary magnet.
Answer:
The direction in which a vehicle accelerates aligns with its velocity direction. However, the force of acceleration works against the car's speed.
Explanation:
The car’s initial acceleration can be found using:
v = v₀ + a t
a = (v-v₀) t
which assumes the initial speed is zero (v₀ = 0 m/s).
a = v / t
a = 300 / t
The acceleration vector matches the direction of the vehicle's movement.
Upon hitting the wall, a force is exerted in the reverse direction to halt the car, thus this acceleration opposes the vehicle’s speed. However, the module should be much greater since the stopping distance is minimal.
