Because acceleration is not speed, and speed is not acceleration.  
I'm sure you would not ask "Why isn't temperature given in acres, 
as it is for area ?"  Speed and acceleration are different things, so 
it's only natural that they have different units.
The magnitude (size) part of acceleration is:
         (how much speed changes) per second.
Are you speeding up ?
Are you traveling (2 meters per second) faster every second ?
Then your acceleration is
           (2 meters per second) per second .
When you write that phrase as an algebraic expression, it's
           (2 m/sec) / sec
and when you simplify that fraction, you get        2 m/sec² .

Answer:</h3>
5.395 × 10^8 Watts 
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Rate of flow is 1.1 × 10^6 kg/s 
- Distance is 50.0 m 
- Gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s²
We are required to calculate the power that is generated by the falling water
- Power is the rate of work done 
- It is given by dividing the energy or work done by time
But; work done = Force × distance 
Therefore;
Power = (F × d) ÷ time
The rate is 1.1 × 10^ 6 Kg/s
But, 1 kg = 9.81 N
Therefore, the rate is equivalent to 1.079 × 10^7 N/s
Thus, 
Power = Rate (N/s) × distance 
            = 1.079 × 10^7 N/s × 50.0 m
            = 5.395 × 10^8 Watts 
The power generated from the falling water is 5.395 × 10^8 Watts 
 
        
        
        
Answer:
E = 7.334 KeV
Explanation:
given,
initial energy = 60 keV
Δ x = 30 cm

μ(for soft tissue) = 0.7 cm⁻¹ (taken from table)

          E = 60 × 0.1224
          E = 7.334 KeV
energy of x-ray photon after travelling through 30 cm soft tissue in body is E = 7.334 KeV
