Answer:
The weight of an object is the force on it caused by the gravity due to the planet. The weight of an object and the gravitational field strength are directly proportional. For a given mass, the greater the gravitational field strength of the planet, the greater its weight.
Weight can be calculated using the equation:
weight = mass × gravitational field strength
This is when:
weight (W) is measured in newtons (N)
mass (m) is measured in kilograms (kg)
gravitational field strength (g) is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg)
Transverse waves occur when a disturbance causes oscillationsperpendicular (at right angles) to the propagation (the direction of energy transfer). Longitudinal waves occur when the oscillations are parallel to the direction of propagation.
- We know, acceleration is the change of velocity by time.
- Velocity is the speed of an object which also indicates the direction.
- Hence, acceleration is both dependant upon the speed as well as the direction.
- So, if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration will also change. It will not be zero.
- An example is that of uniform circular motion.
Answer:
if an object is moving at a constant speed in a changing direction, the acceleration of the object will not be zero.
