Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which characteristic?

Physics
2 answers:
Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago

1) C. velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. In formulas:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

Therefore, the correct answer is C. velocity.


2) A. 9.8m/s/s

Earth's gravity is a force, so it produces an acceleration on every object with mass located on the Earth's surface. This acceleration can be calculated, as it is given by the formula

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

r=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

By substituting these numbers into the formula, one can find that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity is g=9.81 m/s^2.

1) The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of<u><em> velocity.</em></u>

2) The value of acceleration due to the Earth’s gravity is  \boxed{{\text{9}}{\text{.8}}\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}}.

Further Explanation:

<u>Part (1):</u>

An object is under acceleration if its velocity changes with the time and the velocity of object is the rate of change of displacement of the object.

v =\dfrac{{dx}}{{dt}}  

If the velocity of the object continues to change along with the time, the object is said to be accelerating. It may be decreasing or increasing. The acceleration of the object is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the object.

 \boxed{a=\frac{{dv}}{{dt}}}

Thus, the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of <em><u>velocity.</u></em>

<u>Part (2):</u>

The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet is defined as the acceleration experienced by the body due to the Earth’s gravitational pull.

The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth is given by:

\boxed{g=\frac{{GM}}{{{R^2}}}}  

Here, g is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant, M is mass of the Earth and R is radius of Earth.

The mass of the Earth is 6 \times {10^{24}}\,{\text{Kg}}.

The radius of the Earth is 6400\,{\text{km}}.

The value of the gravitational constant is  6.67 \times {10^{ - 11}}\,{{{\text{N}}\cdot{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{{\text{N}} \cdot {{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}} {{\text{k}}{{\text{g}}^{\text{2}}}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\text{k}}{{\text{g}}^{\text{2}}}}}.

Substitute the values in above expression:

\begin{aligned}g&=\dfrac{\left(6.67\times 10^{-11}\right)\left(6\times 10^{24}\right)}{\left(6.4\times ^{6}\right)^{2}}\\&=\dfrac{4.002\times 10^{14}}{4.096\times 10^{13}}\\&=9.77\text{m}/ \text{s}^{2}\\&\approx 9.8\text{m}/ \text{s}^{2}\end{aligned}

Thus, the value of acceleration due to the Earth’s gravity is \boxed{{\text{9}}{\text{.8}}\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}}}} .

What two forces act on a falling object ?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The two forces acting on the object are weight due to gravity pulling the object towards earth, and drag resisting this motion. When the object is first released, drag is small as velocity is low, so the resultant force is down. This means the object accelerates towards earth.

A patient has an order for a drug to be infused at the rate of 5 mcg/kg/min. A 500 ml bag contains 250 mg of the drug and the pa
enot [183]

The flow rate is 17gtts/min.

<h3>What is the drug infusion rate?</h3>
  • The rate of infusion (or dosing rate) in pharmacokinetics refers to the ideal rate at which a drug should be supplied to achieve a steady state of a fixed dose that has been shown to be therapeutically effective. This rate is not only the rate at which a drug is administered.
  • The infusion volume is divided into drops, which is known as a drip-rate. The Drip Rate formula is as follows: Volume (mL) times time (h) equals drip-rate. A patient must get 1,000 mL of intravenous fluids over the course of eight hours.
  • Infusion rates of 3–4 mg/kg per minute are advised by manufacturers to reduce rate-related adverse effects. Usually, the infusion lasts for several hours. Although not advised, rates exceeding 5 mg/kg per hour may be tolerated by some patients.
  • If no negative reactions occur, the rate may be increased in accordance with the table every 30 minutes up to a maximum rate of 3 ml/kg/hour (not to exceed 150 ml/hour).

To find the flow rate is 17gtts/min:

\frac{18 units}{h} \frac{100ml}{100units} \frac{500ml}{250mg} \frac{1mg}{1000mgc} \frac{20gtts}{ml} =\frac{17gtts}{min}

Therefore, The flow rate is 17gtts/min.

A magnesium oxide component must not fail when a tensile stress of 10.5 MPa is applied. Determine the maximum allowable surface
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Maximum permitted surface crack length is 1.29 mm

Explanation:

As per the question:

Tensile stress, \sigma = 10.5\ MPa = 10.5\times 10^{6}\ Pa

Surface energy of magnesium oxide, SE = 1.0\ J/m^{2}

Modulus of elasticity of the material, E = 225 GPa = 225\times 10^{9}\ Pa

Now,

To calculate the maximum allowable surface crack length:

L = \frac{2E\times SE}{\sigma^{2}\pi }

L = \frac{2\times 225\times 10^{9}\times 1.0}{10.5\times 10^{6}\times \pi } = 1.29\times 10^{- 3}\ m = 1.29\ mm
