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}}}}}} .

Test populations are studied. Population one is found to obey the differential equation dy1/da=o.2y1 and the population two obey
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Population 1 indicates growth while Population 2 indicates a declining population

Explanation:

Here, using the given rate of change of the population, we want to determine which of the two is growing and which is declining

From the rate of change of both, we can determine this. Looking at the differential equation for the first one, we can see that it is of positive value. Looking at the differential equation for the second one. we can see it is of negative value

While a positive change rate indicates growth, a negative change rate will indicate otherwise

Hence, we can conclude that the one with a negative rate change will indicate a declining population

A student claims that when two bodies not initially in thermal equilibrium are placed in contact, the rise in temperature of the
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Explanation:

No.

There is a difference between energy, called heat in this case, and temperature, which is a measure of the amount of heat contained in a material and is dependent on the material properties.

Temperature difference is what causes heat to move from one body to another.

Two objects at different temperatures placed in contact with one another will cause heat to move from the warmer body to the colder body until the temperature difference is eliminated.

The amount of heat leaving the warmer body will exactly equal the amount of heat absorbed by the cooler body. (assuming isolated system of two bodies) The temperature change within each of those bodies could be vastly different.

Example would be a 2 mm bead of molten lead dropped into a liter glass of tap water. The lead may cool several hundred °C as it solidifies while the water temperature would increase less than 1 °C

a sound has a frequency of 230 hz. what is the velocity of this sound if it has a wavelength of 46 cm?​
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

V=f×λ

Where,

V is the velocity of the wave measure using m/s.

f is the frequency of the wave measured using Hz.

λ is the wavelength of the wave measured using m.
