What are the units of acceleration?

1 answer:

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] .

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 $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}$
