Describe the motion of an automobile on an east-west
onedimensional axis, with east considered the positive in
eachcase.

1. The automobile is traveling due east and is speeding up.

2. The car is traveling due east and is is slowing down.

3. The automobile is traveling due east at a constant speed.

4. The car is traveling due west and is slowing down.

5. The automobile is traveling due west and is speeding up.

6. The automobile is traveling due west at a constant speed.

7. The automobile is accelerating due east from rest.

8. The automobile is accelerating due west from rest.

Explanation:

The key to understanding this is:

When the acceleration and initial velocity of the automobile have the same sign (positive or negative) then the automobile is speeding up. Explained further, if acceleration and the initial velocity are both positive or they are both negative the automobile is speeding up but whenever they have opposite signs (that is acceleration is positive and initial velocity is negative or vice versa) the automobile is slowing down. When the acceleration is zero the automobile is maintaining a unform motion at a constant speed (the speed is not changing with time). The + or - sign indicates the direction of travel. In this case east is + and west is -. It is my pleasure answering this question. I hope you find it helpful. Thank you.

it is called kinetic energy

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
