Answer:

An accelerometer is a tool that measures proper acceleration.[1] Proper acceleration is the acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) of a body in its own instantaneous rest frame;[2] this is different from coordinate acceleration, which is acceleration in a fixed coordinate system. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration due to Earth's gravity, straight upwards[3] (by definition) of g ≈ 9.81 m/s2. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall (falling toward the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.81 m/s2) will measure zero.

Accelerometers have many uses in industry and science. Highly sensitive accelerometers are used in inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. Vibration in rotating machines is monitored by accelerometers. They are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so that images on screens are always displayed upright. In unmanned aerial vehicles, accelerometers help to stabilise flight.

When two or more accelerometers are coordinated with one another, they can measure differences in proper acceleration, particularly gravity, over their separation in space—that is, the gradient of the gravitational field. Gravity gradiometry is useful because absolute gravity is a weak effect and depends on the local density of the Earth, which is quite variable.

Single- and multi-axis accelerometers can detect both the magnitude and the direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation (because the direction of weight changes), coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium (a case in which the proper acceleration changes, increasing from zero). Micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video-game controllers, to detect changes in the positions of these devices.

A battery charger is connected to a dead battery and delivers a current of 3.5 a for 4 hours, keeping the voltage across the bat
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The power delivered is equal to the product between the voltage V and the current I:
P=VI=(16 V)(3.5 A)=56 W

This power is delivered for a total time of t=4h=4 \cdot 3600 s = 14400 s, so the total energy delivered to the battery is
E=Pt = (56 W)(14400 s)=806400 J=806.4 kJ

15.One girl was involved in a bus crash. She told the police that she was seated in the last line of seats and that when the bus
Alona [7]

Answer: It is not likely.

Explanation:

When the bus is moving forward, all the objects inside of it also are moving forward.

Now, as the objects inside the buss are not fixed to the bus, if the bus suddenly stops the objects inside of it will keep moving forward, because of the conservation of the momentum, defined as the quantity of motion (Similar to when you are in a car and it suddenly stops, you can feel the forward impulse).

Then is not likely that, in a case where the bus stops suddenly, an object inside the bus flies backward in opposite direction to the previous movement of the bus.

An electron follows a helical path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.340 T. The pitch of the path is 6.00 µm, and the m
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The electron's speed is 34007.35 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.34 T

Magnetic force on the electron, F=1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N

The electron follows a helical path. We have to find the speed of an electron. The formula for magnetic force is given by :

F=B\times q\times v

q = charge on an electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

v = velocity of an electron

v=\dfrac{F}{Bq}

v=\dfrac{1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N}{0.34\ T\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C}

v = 34007.35 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
