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] .

Viktor [21]

This implies that stopping distance and impact force grow as a function of speed. The best ways to improve manoeuvrability and lessen crash severity are to drive at an appropriate pace and to slow down as soon as you spot dangers in front of you.

Keep in mind that stopping distance increases with speed; at 50 mph, it is four times longer than at 25 mph, and at 75 mph, the force of impact is nine times greater.

<h3>What is the impact of speed on kinetic energy ?</h3>

When your car expends or absorbs energy to speed up or slow down, you may feel a pull or a jolt, called impulse. Impulse increases as the energy or force increases, and increases as the duration of the force decreases. You'll feel a harder jolt if you speed up or slow down suddenly.

  • Consider: coming to a stop from 60 mph in ten seconds doesn't hurt you or your vehicle because the force of this event is spread out over a long time. But if you hit a wall and come to a stop in just half a second, you'll feel twenty times the impulse, causing severe damage.

How fast should a moving clock travel if it is to be observed by a stationary observer as running at one-half its normal rate?A)
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Let the speed is v.

\Delta t = \gamma \Delta t'\\\\\Delta t = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}\times \frac{\Delta t}{2}\\\\\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}} =\frac{1}{2}\\\\1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{3}{4}c^2 = v^2\\\\v = 0.87 c

Option (D) is correct.

Hey there! 

Answer: Glaciers

Water near the poles would most likely be stored as glaciers. Glaciers are slow moving rivers that are a buildup of ice and snow. 

Thank you!
