Is constant velocity same as constant acceleration?

2 answers:

irakobra [83]2 years ago

Answer:

No

Explanation:

constant velocity means zero acceleration because acceleration is rate of change of velocity. So when velocity remains constant there would be no acceleration.

in case of constant acceleration it means that velocity changes but with some consistent (same) amount each time. For example some object falling from tower, Velocity of the object will change(increases) by 9.8m/s for each second due to gravity of Earth. In this case there is change in velocity each second but with some consistent amount that is 9.8m/s.

No they are very different and are even measured in different units. Velocity is usually defined as “the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.”
Hope this helps. Have a good day.

HOW FAR DOES A UNICYCLE TRAVEL AT A SPEED OF 20 M/S FOR 15 SECONDS?

astra-53 [7]

Given:-

Speed of the unicycle = 20 m/s
Time taken = 15 s

To Find: Distance travelled by the unicycle.

We know,

s = vt

where,

s = Distance travelled,
v = Speed &
t = Time taken.

Therefore,

s = (20 m/s)(15 s)

→ s = (20 m)(15)

→ s = 300 m (Ans.)

You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}$

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=0.725$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}$

$\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=633\ nm$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

A person carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force f1 and the other hand hold

slega [8]

Answer:

F₁ = 4,120.2 N

F₂ = 3,924N

Explanation:

1) Balance of angular momentum around the end where F₁ is applied.

F₂ × 0.5m - F₁ × 0 = mass × g × 1m

⇒ F2 × 0.5 m= 20 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 1 m = 1,962 N×m

F₂ = 196.2 Nm / 0.5m = 3,924 N

2) Balance of forces

F₁ - F₂ = mg

F₁ = F₂ + mg = 3,924N + 20kg (9.81 m/s²) = 4,120.2 N
