Answer:

Velocity is sometimes taken as speed but the rate of change of velocity is termed acceleration.

Explanation:

<u>Velocity:</u>

  • The rate of displacement of a body is called its velocity.
  • It's SI unit is metre per second. (ms^-1)
  • It is a vector quantity.

<u>Acceleration:</u>

  • The rate of change of velocity of a body is termed acceleration.
  • Its SI unit is metre per second square. (ms^-2)
  • It is a vector quantity.

Answer:

You may know that both velocity and acceleration have something to do with how fast an object moves. You’re right, but what’s the difference between these two terms in physics? Keep reading for more information about velocity, acceleration, and how to tell them apart.

How does jet stream form
barxatty [35]
Even though the wind "tries" to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the turning of the Earth causes the air flow to turn to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the jet stream flows around the air masses, rather than directly from one to the other.

What does Newton's 2nd Law explain?
kow [346]

Answer:

C. Why you must push harder to move a car farther.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass}

Hence, Newton's 2nd Law explains why you must push harder to move a car farther because of its mass. Thus, it is important to increase the force that the engine provides and decrease the mass of the car.

Suppose that the acceleration of a model rocket is proportional to the difference between 100 ft/sec and the rocket's velocity.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

final velocity, v = 80 ft/s

acceleration, a = 150 ft/s²

Let the time taken is t.

v = u + at

80 = 0 + 150 x t

t = 0.53 second
