What are the units of acceleration?

Physics
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
5 0

Acceleration is any change in speed or direction of motion.

The dimension of speed is [length/time],
so a change is [length/time²].

Popular units include [meter/second²] and [feet/second²] .
________________________

Direction almost always boils down to an angle, (which technically
has no dimensions), so a change in direction is  [angle/time] .

Popular units include [radian/second] and [degree/second] .

How could you create an investigation to determine the pitch of this wave?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

In order to make a sound wave have a higher pitch you increase the frequency.

In order to increase the volume of a sound wave, you have to increase the amplitude.

Hope this helps!

Ice skaters often end their performances with spin turns, where they spin very fast about their center of mass with their arms f
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{30 rev/s}}

Explanation:

This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).

L = Iω

If momentum is conserved,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Data:

 I₁ = 3.5    kg·m²s⁻¹

ω₁ = 6.0    rev·s⁻¹

 I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹

Calculation:

\begin{array}{rcl}I_{1}\omega_{1} &= &I_{2}\omega_{2}\\\text{3.5 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times \text{6.0 rev/s} &= &\text{0.70 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times\omega_{2}\\\text{21 rev/s} &= &0.70\omega_{2}\\\omega_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{21 rev/s}}{0.70}\\\\&=&\textbf{30 rev/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The skater's final rotational speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}

You are piloting a helicopter which is rising vertically at a uniform velocity of 14.70 m/s. When you reach 196.00 m, you see Ba
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The ball reaches Barney  head in  t = 8 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The rise velocity is  v  =  14.70 \  m/s

  The height considered is h =  196 \  m

   The horizontal velocity of the large object is  v_h  =  8.50 \  m/s

   

Generally from kinematic equation  

   s = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Here s is the distance of the object from Barney head ,

        u is the velocity of the object along the vertical axis which is equal but opposite to the velocity of the helicopter

So  

     u = -14.7 m/s

So

    196  = -14.7 t  + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2

=  4.9 t^2 - 14.7t - 196 = 0

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula  

    The value of  t obtained is  t = 8 \ s

What are (a) the charge and (b) the charge density on the surface of a conducting sphere of radius 0.20 m whose potential is 240
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

(a) charge q=5.33 nC

(b) charge density σ=10.62 nC/m²

Explanation:

Given data

radius r=0.20 m

potential V=240 V

coulombs constant k=9×10⁹Nm²/C²

To find

(a) charge q

(b) charge density σ

Solution

For (a) charge q

As

V_{potential}=kq/r\\ q=rV_{potential}/k\\q=\frac{(0.20)(240)}{9*10^{9} }\\ q=5.333*10^{-9}C\\or\\ q=5.33nC

For (b) charge density

As charge density σ is given as:

σ=q/(4πR²)

σ=(5.333×10⁻⁹) / (4π×(0.20)²)

σ=10.62 nC/m²
